Create the Life You Love

I maintained the Lifestyle CEO blog from September 2005 to September 2006. I recently reviewed it for content I could share with you here. This post, from September 27, 2005, was originally titled, "As the Crow Flies." It makes me smile because Sheryl Crow eventually chose one of the options I mentioned, and then made it one better by becoming a mother.

I have no personal knowledge about Sheryl, but I wonder if anyone ever told her that she should "get a job" instead of taking a low paying gig in a smoke-filled bar on the seedy side of town. If they did, she apparently didn't listen, and today, having already lived one dream, she's perched on the verge of living another one.

Sheryl's got options and as a result, she can create whatever life she wants. She can marry Lance, have babies (or not) and continue to tour, or she can marry Lance, have babies (or not) and never tour again, or she can scrap Lance and babies and just keep on singing, surviving comfortably on the fruits of her hard work thus far.

While you may never win a Grammy, and you may never be a world famous dancer, playwright, dress designer or software developer, you can create whatever kind of life you want for yourself because the talent you do have is the only one of its kind ever created.

Want to create the life you love? Use your talents to create some options for yourself. Give yourself options and you'll also give yourself assets. Give yourself assets and you'll be well on the way to creating the live you love.
