'Creating a life that centers joy, especially over the long-term, doesn't mean every moment will be fun or feel particularly good; it's often those moments of uncomfortability that lead to the type of growth from which joy grows,' writes s_dirshe.
By the time I celebrated my thirtieth birthday, I was exhausted. Totally and utterly depleted after spending nearly a decade in New York City and working just as many jobs — from hostess to magazine editor — as years lived in the city that never sleeps. While fun, at times, I lacked the type of satisfaction, from work and my life, that made me feel like I was living out my life’s purpose.
We each have a personal and individual definition of joy, which is why the life we choose to live should look different from our friends’ and partners’. For some, that may mean exotic vacations and facials several times per year, while for others it could mean quiet moments alone reading and being in nature. When I made the decision to finally live life on my own terms in my twenties, to define success by how I spent each day, it began with visualizing what my ideal life looked like.
The last, and most crucial, step is turning those plans into action that can be maintained over long periods of time. When it comes down to it, achieving a goal or dream is simply the culmination of consistent actions taken day in and day out. The most surefire way to ensure that happens, even when things become tough, is accountability.
