But seriously, in this age of texting abbreviations, acronyms DO serve a useful purpose! Anyway, I came across one I really liked, so I thought I would share it with you. It’s called the “L-I-V-E” formula and it came from the Dawna Markova book, “I Will Not Die an Unlived Life–Reclaiming Purpose & Passion ” So, here it is:
L is for love…what do you LOVE to do? Make a list and then be sure to DO it.
I is for inner gifts…what are your natural talents? What do others come to you for? And back to “L”- what makes you happy? Go ahead, offer them to the world around you.
V is for values…what’s REALLY important? How do you want to make YOUR mark in the world? What is your legacy? What do you want to be remembered for?
E is for environment…we have such a grand opportunity to make a difference in our world and the world for our children. Don’t kid yourself. EVERY little bit matters. But the way to make the grandest impact is to surround yourself with those people, places, things, and conditions that bring out the BEST in YOU. It will help your career, your happiness and your impact on our wonderful world.
Go ahead and try it. Dare ya. L-I-V-E a little…or a lot! And don’t forget to laugh along the way.
