On the third episode of The Excellent Life Podcast, I look into the topic "Living Your Best Life". I share that it is God's desire for you to live your very best life and that you were blessed at creation with everything needed to do just that. I define living your best life to mean living the best possible life that you were created to live and living up to your God-given potential. It is a life that is purpose-driven and not possession-driven. I emphasize how living your best life is the most important journey in life.
I identify five things to be mindful of in your journey of life in the pursuit of your best life. They are; avoiding the trap of discontentment, avoiding the temptation to compare, recognizing that everybody's timing is different, true fulfillment only comes from within, and living in the present moment.
I conclude that your very best life is a life of gratitude, contentment, and satisfaction for where you are today and the faith and confidence that you have within you what it takes to be the very best version of yourself every day for the rest of your life.
I end the show with some powerful affirmations to inspire you to live your very best life.
