Fate? Luck? Hard Work? Determination? Vision?
What does it take to create the life you want? This has been a topic of conversation in my house this summer. After some careful contemplation, some fun dialog with my SO (now husband) and a little reading, my thinking is…all of the above. What do you think?
On June 9th we got married, it was amazing, beautiful and human in every way. Families came together and grew. Love vibrated from the dance floor as new friends danced the night away. Strangers became brothers and cousins. Acquaintances became life long friends. At the heart of it was Andy and me, there together in a way we described in our vows: “This day was unlikely. This day was inevitable.” In NO WAY could I have a planned the things that happily emerged as a result of our wedding. And if I had tried, I would have failed. The wedding itself took a lot of focus and hard work and a healthy dose of luck and fate. But the flowers, dresses, suits, wine, food were only the window dressing on the celebration. What I didn’t plan for was the way that love spread out to all of our friends and family that gathered with us. That was truly a gift!
Our relationship has and will require risk taking, love and focus, all relationships do. I also believe fate has a hand in bringing us together.
Fate. Luck. Hard Work. Determination. VISION!
At the center of my vision, I could not have articulated what it means to be this happy, to be this much at peace with my life, to truly be living Big Life Vision, but once I got here I knew it instantly. Each day I focus towards the life I want. I work hard to make decisions that align with my vision. Certainly, I have and will take some hits (look back at some of my past posts). As my focus continued, some good luck came my way, some timing played out perfectly and the stars aligned. The creative tension finally bounced my way.
The journey isn’t over. Living my vision doesn’t mean I get complacent. I have to remain focused on the life I want. I have to continue to work hard. I have to continue to take advantage of luck and hope that fates plays in my favor. I will focus on my Big Life Vision.
What’s your vision? Where is your focus?
