Remember that life happens FOR you and not TO you. When you recognize and embrace that, the truth is, that even a global pandemic is happening for you and won’t stop you from creating the life you want. In this episode, we delve into how you can create the life you want through your habits, the people you surround yourself with, your mindset, and beliefs. If you work on something every single day, eventually you are going to get there. It’s all about being persistent in the process.  Remember that living on purpose does not happen by accident.

Decide who you want to be, and then take action every single day.  WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: Procrastinating in our comfort zone (7:53) Creating your life on purpose (10:00) Life happens for you, not to you (11:00) Morning routine (11:50) Setting your intentions at the start of the day (12:26) Your goals for the day (13:35) Enjoy the journey through loving life itself (14:33) Coping vs Creating (15:56) Pivoting in the time of crisis (17:24) Changing your habits (19:07) Seek somebody who emulates the habits you want to emulate (20:55) Consume content that can feed your brain (21:06) Surrounding yourself with the right people (22:44) Who is your tribe?
