Lifestyle design is a great concept. It truly is.
But it is more than sketching a plan then doing a few things.
Lifestyle design starts in our mind.
If someone hates their job — along with everything else in their life — chances are, leaving their job is only going to create a different set of circumstances they hate.
Their lifestyle will be different. They’ll have the freedom they want.
But they’ll be faced with a whole new series of challenges.
It might suck going solo. It might suck running a business. It might suck paying sales tax, income tax, getting audited, or keeping the books.
It might suck going to bed at night wondering where their next customer is coming from.
Changing the situation might change the negatives, but they’ll still exist.
Negatives will always exist. It is the people who deal with them the best who win.

Hoping for a life without negatives is a delusion.
Changing the way you deal with the negatives, is progress. |
Using lifestyle design to create happiness comes from the ability to deal with what you have, in the best way possible.
I’m not saying stay where you are if you aren’t happy.
By all means, shake things up, make a difference, change your life. Do it up!
But if someone tries to make change without changing their mind, they’re in for a long drawn out sequence of the same dissatisfaction in a different setting.
