LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE

 By Matata Mercy

What does it mean for you to live your best life? Most people around the world would love to live their best life but do they have any idea what it actually means to live your best life. 

According Abraham Maslow living best life means being able to balance three aspects of our lives and these include health, wealth and love. 

How is it possible to balance all these life aspects?  I know it is not an easy task. 

You might be good at one or two of these aspects and the third aspect will let you down. For example, you could have lots of money with assets all in place but you lack love. Your relationships are not doing well or you are going through a divorce.

 If you are going through such a situation will all the money and assets that you do have at your disposal, you will not be at peace. 

Or you could be having lots of love coming from your spouse, friends and relatives but when you are dead broke, paying your bills could strain your relationships. 

Living your best life would simply mean that you are living to your highest potential what Abraham Maslow called Self-actualization. 

But few people are the ones who can be able to reach the goal of attaining self-actualization.

 This should not scare you since your time on earth is limited, it would be a good idea to put that limited time to good use so that you will end up fulfilled. Better to try and fail than regret not having tried at all. 

So how would you put in your best foot to attempt to live your best life. One clue is for you to start with your desires.

 What would you desire to do with your life? What would you be willing to do if there was no chance for failure? 

Start there, assume that failure does not exist and move onto your desired passions.

 If you would love to write and record music career wise, pick up a pen and a piece of paper, start writing songs, record those songs and put them out there. Learn from the feedback that you get and repeat the process.

 If there is a woman or girl you do have a crush on, go talk to her, just start a conversation, may be just say hi to her and see what happens. 

Living your best life means overcoming your fears and going forth towards your desires, ignoring what other people will say. 

Will you regret not having lived your best life or even at least put in some effort or will you be grateful for having done your best at life. 

The ball is in your hands, decide the life that you want to live now.
