Falling in love with your life means learning what you love, what you desire, and what you need. It means focusing on your goals and how you can, and will pursue them. It means discovering what you really want out of relationships, out of yourself, out of your existence on this earth, and creating a well-designed plan for your future.

Need a little inspiration? Here are 20 positive affirmations to help get your weekend off to a great start!
Have you asked yourself lately, “What do I want from Life”, or where do I want to be in 3, 5, 10 years from now? Here is a simple 3 step guide to help plan out your next 5 years. You have to do some heavy thinking to do here, but it will be worth it when you see your life goals unfolding in written form in front of you.
Studies show that people who write down their plans are 33% more likely to meet them. But it can be difficult when someone asks you the question, “Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years?” If you’re anything like me, this question throws you way off, so I embarked on the journey to write a 5-year plan as so many professionals suggest. My first task was to figure out what all goes into a five-year plan. Your plan doesn’t have to be solely career goals. After looking at examples, I’ve concluded that pretty much everything can be placed in five groups: Career, Bucket List, Financial, Family, and Personal. My second task was to realize that you can’t really plan a five-year plan, without knowing your life plan. It’d be like writing 5 chapters of a story without deciding the story’s plot.
Jot down all those life goals you want to achieve. Want to own your own company? Learn a language? Have a family? Write down everything and don’t be afraid to dream big. This is a whole lifetime we’re talking about after all! You can get a lot done!
Look at everything you wrote down for your life goals. Now, what is the in-between from where you are now, and where you want to be? If your life goal feels like a far stretch from where you are now, try to think of your first couple baby steps. If you want to own your own retail store, maybe get a retail job and aim for manager! Want to be an author? Write the first draft for your first book! Everyone starts somewhere.
What can you do on a daily basis that will push you towards that 5-year goal, which will then push you towards that life goal? Grand plans don’t happen overnight, they happen in the day by day. Want to become Bilingual? That means daily practice. Want to pay off debt? Keep a budget.
Seems a lot more manageable broken down, doesn’t it?

Don’t let a first-time failure stop further attempts. For example, I know it’s hard at first to shift gears without stalling but if at first you don’t succeed . . . This seemingly ancient adage was first recorded only in 1840 but has become so well known that it is often shortened.

Trials and tribulations, fleeting victories and sudden disappointment. Writers, poets, songwriters and musicians all share the same familiar road. Many give up thinking it shouldn’t be so hard. Many persevere knowing that road to success has many twists and turns and is not a straight line.
I mention a musician’s road because I heard a song by a popular outlaw country singer Waylon Jennings, who asked in song, “Are you sure ole Hank (Williams) done it this way”? He’s asking if his hero have to put up with the same old hardships before making it big?
It’s an 11-year-old song, short in length, but long in meaning. Written and performed by Waylon Jennings, take heart that hard work does have its’ reward. Take a listen:
