Benefits of Living A Determined Life

Rewards Are Many For Those On A Project You Life Journey 

The benefits of Living A Determined Life are ginormous. Not only will you be pursuing your life's purpose, but you will be doing so in a highly contented and confident way. Those leading A Determined Life are less stressed, have fewer worries, and are more emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically stable. Their lives are more holistic and in greater balance.

Living A Determined Life reduces distractions and the tendency to worry about things beyond your control. You will become more focused on what is important to you and a sense of rightness will envelop you. A feeling of pure contentment will wrap around you as you honestly tell yourself: "This is who I am and I am doing what I am meant to be doing."

As you stay on this path in this mode your world becomes clear, calm, peaceful, and purposeful. Anxiety reduces, as does your blood pressure. You become more in tune with your environment, and therefore more aware and receptive to things and people that can enhance your journey.

When you are not on your Determined Life path, and not operating in a purposeful mode, your life will tend to be chaotic and confused. You will feel that life is a roller coaster of wild ups and downs, full of short-term highs and depressingly low lows.

You will feel connected neither to yourself, humanity nor even the general world around you. The connections you do have will be shallow and weak. Your life will not seem to have a purpose, other than perhaps the short-term pursuit of pleasures and material possessions. And your tendency will be to look to external sources for guidance rather than within.

However, when on your Determined Life path and living in a purposeful mode you open yourself up to receive and appreciate all the positive and heartwarming emotions and experiences of life as a human being: love, joy, ecstasy, thankfulness, friendship, companionship, gratitude, etc.

You will also feel a deeper connection with all humanity. But most important you will have a deeper, more complete connection with yourself on all levels ── emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual.

This, of course, will make you more attractive and attracted to others. As spiritual teacher Matt Kahn notes, "When your heart opens completely, you will stumble upon the most powerful force in the universe ── your loving eternal presence."

Undoubtedly, the biggest benefit of the Project You Life Journey is attaining this deeper and more complete connection with ourselves.

As the 20th century sportswoman, global traveler and photographer Ella Maillart noted, "It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better." 

In the Project You Life sense, the sooner and deeper we understand ourselves, the better.

But this is not a selfish journey. The changes you make in your life will impact others. In fact, when you change yourself, you start to change the world. 

Now that's both an awesome responsibility and an awesome reward, simultaneously.
