First Step of Awesome Lifestyle Design: What Would Be an Awesome Life for You?

What Does Your Awesome Lifestyle Design Look Like?


One of the things that makes life great is that people are so much alike, yet oh so very different.  It would probably be difficult, if not impossible, to find two people who share the exact idea of what makes an awesome lifestyle.  Even couples who think and live very much alike, still have to remain flexible and plan for some occasional give and take.

This could be one of the reasons that more couples - and people in general, never decide to consciously design and live their own person Awesome Lifestyles.  Nobody really wants to go through life by themselves, but not many people believe that they can actually find a mate that they can live their dream life with.


The task on first look can seem so daunting and even impossible to some.  Just like any big job, you tackle it one step at a time.  As in eating the proverbial elephant, you cannot fit it all in your mouth at once.  Anything worth accomplishing will require multiple steps and actions.  Small bites will get it all done.  Action is needed to make any progress at all.  Take the small steps in the right order and that elephant will be gone in no time (and you will be living the Awesome Lifestyle that YOU designed much quicker than you thought possible).

In Awesome Lifestyle Design, the first step is actually deciding what that lifestyle looks like.

Stacia and I have spent a lot of time discussing what our most awesome lifestyles would look like.  Even so, I'm pretty sure that things will continue to change - and our views of the perfect life probably will too.

Deciding and knowing exactly what you are looking for and expecting from your life is a great first step to designing your awesome lifestyle.  This is so important - even though it can be very dynamic and constantly changing.  (Just think if you were planning on going somewhere tropical and then something unexpected happens to allow you to experience the skiing vacation of a lifetime.)

Knowing what YOUR personal awesome lifestyle design looks like makes everything else much easier.  You'll be able to base your life decisions on what you've already previously decided you want in your life.

An example of this is that even though Stacia and I love animals and would really love having a dog (Stacia has always wanted a Puggle, I've always wanted another Rottweiler after I lost Apollo and then Bear.)  Even though we love dogs and want to have at least one in our home, our Awesome Lifestyle Design specifies that we are going to be doing A LOT of traveling and living in different parts of the world.  A dog just would not be practical nor fit in with our current idea of an awesomely designed life.  Who knows?  Perhaps at some point, we may find a place that we want to settle down - and if so, one of the first things we will do is get a Puggle ...  and maybe even a big ol Rottie if there is enough space ...

For now you can check out what Our Awesome Lifestyle Design looks like.
