Many of us, going to work every day and working hard, find ourselves rolling our eyes whenever we hear "those" people saying "live your best life." We don't do it because we are unhappy with where we are both professionally and in general, or because we don't want to take the suggestion, but because it often seems like an unrealistic ideal and too vague. We think anyone saying that probably doesn't truly understand how the real world works. But are we just overthinking this, and is it that complicated to live a life that's fulfilling and meaningful? Do we have to make major changes in our lives to experience this?

Surprisingly, living your best life is not about being happy and fulfilled all the time, having the perfect career and life or achieving every goal without failure like many assume. It’s about the journey and the daily choices that lead you toward a life that feels true to you. You can create a life rich in experiences, growth and happiness, both professionally and personally, by adopting a mindset of gratitude, finding fulfillment in your work, prioritizing what truly matters and setting reasonable boundaries that allow time for activities outside of work which bring you joy and fulfillment.
