Are you willing to make the change?

Now that we’ve talked about happiness and meaning making, and what all of that can teach us, the time is now to ask yourself, what change would make my life more happy and meaningful? In my life, I’ve asked this question regularly to keep me on my true and authentic path. And a lot of this has come from a knowledge of self. Through my youth, I experimented. And I wanted to learn enough so that I could figure out my career and a path that satisfied me. Therefore, I pursued many careers simultaneously.

Complexities within your inner self

And of course, it’s a bit confusing at a cocktail party. When someone comes up to me and says, What do you do? Well, I’m a professor, I’m a clown. I’m a motivational speaker. I’m a coach, I run a girls empowerment club. I’m an artist in the schools and I’m an entrepreneur.

But these conscious choices are such a huge part of what makes my life incredibly meaningful.

At 13, I joined a professional mind company, this was a way to bring meaning into my life, at 18, the conscious choice to go to college and study recreational therapy, over being say a doctor or a lawyer, which would have made my parents happier, was deeply satisfying, a lifelong love of the career, deciding not to be parents afforded my husband and I the opportunity to be part of the metaphorical village, and intentionally contribute to the lives of hundreds of children, rather than just our own children, taking classes to become a volunteer grief counsellor helped me because I was so anxious around illness and death.

And I wanted to change that. The conscious choice to pioneer and lead a study abroad program allowed my husband and me to fulfil our dream of living part time in Paris, and to have a project to do together.

The most important decisions in my life

For most of my adult life, I thought I was going to be running this venture backed Silicon Valley startup company with hundreds of employees, or be the CEO of a publicly traded company. And yet my decision to move to another country and to build a small business that focuses on helping others and to work, you know, only four days a week, those have been some of the most important and meaningful decisions in my life.

They’ve given me such an incredible sense of meaning, purpose and happiness, which I can honestly say far exceed anything that I experienced when I was on that other path.

But these are just our personal examples. I’ve shared them to give you some ideas of the power of making a choice, reframing, and lifestyle design. Truthfully, I have no way of knowing if these are things that would bring you happiness or meaning.
