What it means to lead an inspired life
To determine whether you're leading an inspired life or just keeping up with it, see where you fall on each list.
Check-list: Are You Living an Inspired Life?
You're living with purpose and passion: You are the Captain of Your Ship, have a clear vision for what you want to achieve and how you want to feel each day, and actively pursue your goals and dreams.
You're authentic: You're true to yourself and your values – living and leading in alignment to your integrity, not by the opinions and expectations of others.
You're courageous: You're willing to step outside your comfort zone, face your fears and take risks to pursue your dreams.
You embrace learning and growth: You're a curious and lifelong learner, seeking new knowledge, staying open to other perspectives and learning from your mistakes.
You’re adventurous: You seek new experiences and explore the world with wonder, awe and zest.
You give back to others: You're an empathetic and compassionate leader who empowers others and strives to make a positive impact on the world around you.
You find joy in the journey: You appreciate the ups and downs of life, celebrate your wins, find beauty in the everyday and follow the unexpected detours and opportunities of life.
Check-list: Are You Just Keeping Up With Life?
You're reacting to circumstances rather than creating them: You might feel like you're constantly putting out fires or going through the motions each day.
You may lack a clear sense of purpose or direction: You might be unsure about what you truly want at this stage of life and are simply drifting through life.
You may be heavily influenced by external pressures: You might find yourself conforming to societal expectations, unable to set boundaries or say “no,” or trying to please others.
You might be focused on avoiding challenges rather than embracing growth opportunities: You might find yourself getting stuck, complacent or plateaued.
You may lack consistent self-care and emotional resilience tools: You might find yourself feeling exhausted, worn out, irritable and worried quite often.
You may experience feelings of disconnect or lack of fulfillment: You might feel as though something important is missing in your life – aliveness, well-being, connections to others or a sense that you’re contributing to something meaningful.
Inspiration is not something that just happens to you – it's a state you actively cultivate.
By living and leading on purpose, staying authentic, embracing challenges, staying curious and giving back, you can create a life and leadership approach that resonates with your true self and inspires you and those around you.
