As human beings, one of our deepest-rooted desires is to have a meaningful and happy existence. You’ve probably heard of the saying, “Live your best life.” It’s good advice. We all want to feel connected to both ourselves and others. We want to feel that we’re part of something important and that we’re making a difference in the world. We want to look back at our lives and our achievements and be proud. In short, we want what the saying says: to live our best lives. You are a unique individual, so living your best life is exclusive to you. Your best life will reflect your true values. It will be made up of what makes you happy and will be colored by what making a difference means to you. To live your best life, you must be the best version of yourself. Don’t try to be something or someone else. Don’t try to be what other people want you to be. Focus on who you want to be. Play to your strengths and be proud of what makes you different. You are brilliant.
