“LOVE YOURZ.” Or 1 way to live a really great life.

Have you ever heard of someone who’s living “the good life?” Maybe you’ve heard it described as “living the dream” or “living their best life.” It seems like every other picture and status update on social media is showing the highlight reel of someone else’s life.

It could be from that celebrity that you follow on Instagram. Or it could be that friend of yours on Facebook that you’re secretly competing against for the most likes. (It’s ok, we all do it.)

Maybe it’s seeing people go on beautiful vacations with friends or the love of their life. While you spend another night, scrolling on Instagram by yourself on the couch.

Or seeing your friends landing their dream jobs while you take a lunch break from the job that you can’t stand but do anyway. It seems like the comparison trap is one that a lot of us, including myself, fall into repeatedly.

And if you’re like me, you’ve had the thought that says “if only I could get more of this or that, then I’ll finally be happy!”

And our society makes it really easy to believe that getting more of _____ will finally do the trick of making life more enjoyable. But what if I were to tell you that the secret to living a really great life is actually a lot easier and WAY less expensive that what our culture says?

Ready??…

Here it is…..

“LOVE YOURZ”

I know, I know. That doesn’t exactly make sense. Allow me to briefly explain…

A young, urban poet once said this phrase a few years back. And I think it had more power to it than even he realized. In other words, he was telling people that in order to live a really great life, you first have to be content with the life that you have. You have to “love yourz.”

Getting more of _____ may give you a feeling of happiness for a little while. But it never lasts. But being content is a feeling that lasts a lifetime. The reality is that more of____really won’t make you happy. And doesn’t lead to living your best life either.

Being truly happy is an inside job. Meaning, that if you want to be happy and live a really great life, start thinking of the awesome things that are currently in your life. In other words, “love yourz.” And slowly start to watch yourself really life a great life.
