If you’ve read any of my blogs, you know that I believe in living a life submitted to God. But within that, I feel that we’re each unique and called to live authentically. I look forward, envision the future, and look back thinking, “I did it my way.” Wasn’t that Frank Sinatra? Oh yeah, he said it well, and I can connect with that sentiment.
This thought came up during a little pillow talk with my wife. We were discussing the idea of “looking good, riding good, smelling good” and, yes, “living good.” But to me, it has to be on my own terms. Here’s the thing—being true to yourself and doing what you love is where that sense of “good living” comes from. If you’re passionate about something, then do it. If not, it’s time to pivot. Maybe college isn’t for you, or perhaps a corporate job feels like it’s not the right fit. So don’t force it.
And while you’re on this journey, do your best to live beneath your means. Especially when you’re still figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do in life, it’s important to stay grounded financially. I know people who work jobs they don’t enjoy because it provides for their family—and that’s honorable. But don’t get caught up in doing that your whole life.
Life isn’t about following someone else’s idea of success. It’s about being you despite the culture and the pressure to do what’s expected. Live the way God has called you to live, stay true to your values, and create your own path.
