10 Simple Truths For Living a Life You Love
Over the past six weeks, I have been conducting idea discovery sessions with fabulous individuals. These one-on-one sessions have illuminated 10 basic truths that I believe are essential for living a life you love. This list is not exhaustive; rather, it is a starting point from which you can create your own list. If one truth clicks for you, run with it! Write it on a sticky note and put it someplace where you’ll be reminded of it daily.
- Produce, do not procrastinate.
- Manage your energy not your time.
- Perfection is merely a facade that steers you in the wrong direction.
- Personal innovation is the key to any type of life success.
- Thoughts precede actions, which precede change. Care + Commitment = Change. Commitment alone does not equal change. There is a personal component to all that we do.
- Now is everything. Perseverance is power. Inspiration is everywhere.
- All that needs to be known dwells inside your own heart. Tap into that knowledge within, and trust that knowledge. Be confident in yourself and your power to choose your own perspective. You have more power than you know what to do with in your life. Harness that potential, and your limits will know no bounds.
- Invest in yourself. Personal knowledge and self-discovery are invaluable. Don’t limit your potential by limiting your personal treasury. You are your greatest ally and asset.
- From a place of clarity, you can move forward with freedom and creativity. Within clarity, there is no such thing as “stuck.”
- We all hunger for a fulfilling life — a life filled with meaning and purpose — for ourselves and for the people around us.

ANNOUNCEMENT: RIGHT-BRAIN BUSINESS PLAN E-COURSE BEGINS MAY 17th!!!
I recently completed this e-course by Jennifer Lee and immediately signed up to take it again, starting May 17th for 8 weeks. After completing the e-course, I re-designed A Beautiful Ripple Effect and completed a business plan for an idea that I generated during the course. My business, Style My Vision, just became a LLC. And that is just the beginning. The e-course gave me all the tools and confidence that I needed to dream big and turn those dreams into a reality. The e-course is almost so good that I want to keep it my little own secret, but that would be far too cruel!
The fun online course will guide you through a visual, creative, and accessible process to clarify your business vision, goals, and actions steps. You’ll even make it through the traditional (a.k.a. “intimidating”) parts of the plan like competitive analysis, marketing, and finances in a way that’s creative, inspiring, engaging, and expressive (just like YOU!). This e-course is perfect for creative entrepreneurs, artists, health and wellness professionals, educators, coaches, designers, freelancers, writers, photographers, non-profit leaders or all-around creative souls wanting to make a positive impact with their entrepreneurial endeavors.
For more information on the session that starts May 17th and to register click here.

Wow! I don’t know why I never thought of this. Manage your energy not your time. I was diagnosed with MS almost four years ago and while I am hypersensitive to my energy levels, I always let time take over. I am putting this one on a post-it right away!
Thanks for the tip.

So excited for you – love your new perspective and mantra: Just do it! Nike would approve :). Resistance is persistent so action is the key to breaking the procrastination cycle – just one tiny tiny action will do the trick.

Hi Carolyn,
I’m especially drawn to the longest one of these – “All that needs to be known dwells inside your own heart. Tap into that knowledge within, and trust that knowledge. Be confident in yourself and your power to choose your own perspective. You have more power than you know what to do with in your life. Harness that potential, and your limits will know no bounds.”
It reminds me of something that’s been on my mind quite a bit recently – that being how “love” is such a deep need for all of us. And perhaps part of that is in this tapping into our heart more authentically – and really listening to what it’s saying…
Lance´s last blog ..And Why Do We Laugh?
Hi Carolyn, your truths are so wonderful! I can relate to each and every one of them. For me personally striving for balance and harmony in life is another truth that I follow in life.
Thank you for sharing your review of the e-course. It looks very interesting and I’ll definitely check it out.
