Designing your life involves setting intentions for how you want your life to look and feel, and then creating a plan to make that vision a reality.

“Designing your life is about intention. It's about making decisions about what you want your life to look like and feel like and embody and then creating a plan to try and make that happen.”

Imagining one's ideal future day using the senses rather than the analytical mind is a powerful tool to identify and move toward one's true desires.

“you are out of anxiety and into imagination and the tears in your eyes tell me it's real yeah you're finding your purpose right now”

A life design system must move an individual from the passenger seat to the driver's seat by helping them define their ideal self and future vision.

“What you've done if you if you go through this process and create a LifeBook, you've created an ideal self-image. You've created a crystal-clear picture of your highest self. And then from there, you can start to move in that direction every day. That's what this tool is.”

Life design provides the necessary congruence and alignment for a person to live with integrity.

“Basically, what it does is it gives you this congruence and and integrity. Alignment. It's alignment and integrity because what you've done is you've thought down with your powerful consciousness.”

Living intentionally is the practice of aligning one's daily actions with their long-term values.

“if I match my short-term actions with my long-term values that's what living intentionally is”

People should pursue their own genuine interests rather than the life paths expected of them by society to avoid regrets at the end of their lives.

“The number one regret by a huge margin was I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. That was the number one regret by a huge margin when she like tallied this this up.”

Living according to one's own desires and inclinations is a more effective path to health and happiness than following standardized societal expectations.

“who and this is no joke rollerblades in slow motion along the San Diego coast which is basically most of what he does unable to continue his former life slo-mo quit his job he sold all of his possessions and made a simple self-promise to slow down and start smelling the roses with One Singular funda”

Tony Riddle claims that simplifying one's lifestyle to remove artificial conveniences leads to better health, happiness, and vitality.

“It really doesn't take a genius to see that what ails us is very much related to our disconnection, our divorce from the food that nourishes us, the movements that maintain us, and the natural rhythms of our bodies and the planet.”

He maintains that changing one's lifestyle to include healthy habits like running and eating plants is a sustainable way to achieve permanent change.

“Once you've hit that number, you've achieved your goal. You take your foot off the gas because you're not changing your lifestyle. You're not creating a new sustainable lifestyle that you're gonna be able to live with over time.”
