What matters most to you in life?
That’s a pretty big question if you haven’t given it much thought.
I’m sure answers will be different for most of us. But that’s a big part of what LifeUntucked is about… what really matters most in life, that is.
I came across this quote about this time last year in the November 2018 issue of Entrepreneur magazine. It completely stopped me in my tracks…
People spend their entire lives not doing the things they want to do.”
— Jen Gurecki, Cofounder and CEO of Coalition Snow
But, don’t you owe it to yourself to live a remarkable life?
I had the same revelation some time ago and have been on a mission to help fix that by getting the message out to as many as I can. The quote captures the problem that I hope LifeUntucked will help solve.
Sooooo, “What is LifeUntucked anyway?” I’ve been asked this question a number of times lately.
One self-proclaimed blogging guru visited the site and told me he didn’t have any idea what it’s about. Then another person told me she knew exactly what it’s about by the name alone.
The point is when you ‘get’ something, you get it.
And when you don’t, it’s usually not for you so it doesn’t matter.
Back in June of 2017, a friend of mine who had first visited the site left me this comment.
Jeff… if you’re having days where you think you need something more, relax. You don’t need anything – you have it all.”
—Liam
I think he gets what it’s all about. What do you think?
I don’t worry about varied reactions because that’s a central goal for bloggers… for visitors to quickly be able to tell if it’s right for them or not so much.
This did, however, get me to go back and take a look at what I envisioned when I came up with the idea over three years ago. I wanted to see if it had migrated into new territory. If I was on a steady course.
Okay, that’s nice, but what’s it about?
Well, let’s see… to start, it’s navigating the nuances of everyday life… It’s about being honest with yourself and getting real about what matters most in this complex, distraction riddled, and rapidly evolving world.
Would you say people wound too tight these days?
Are we taking every little thing way too seriously?
I think we are.
A big part of my worldview, which inspired LifeUntucked is essentially this… Some things in life are too serious to be taken seriously (because that’s when we tend to mess them up). And, when people lighten-up, they are able to live much fuller lives.
That’s more than a little counterintuitive, but I believe it holds water.
Here’s my value proposition (you have to have one in our hyperactive cyber-culture)…
Through LifeUntucked, my goal is to help you be real about what matters most in life and what doesn’t, so you can throttle-back, lighten your load, and live a much fuller life.
The ‘Why?’ for LifeUntucked… To inspire people to get beyond the surface enough to think and act intentionally about what really matters to them in this life so they can truly enjoy living.
It’s not about the rest of the stuff that clogs up life… it’s about everything else.
You know, the important things!
Thank you for joining me in revisiting how this all came about. I hope you’ve found something interesting and possibly inspiring.
I welcome anyone to my journey who wants to be Untucked, unplug occasionally, and find a simpler way.
Welcome to the journey… let’s experience this new adventure together!
I’d love to hear your thoughts, just leave a comment below.
I write about the life I’d like to live every Wednesday. I’m sharing observations and lessons I learn on my journey and looking to hear your insights as well. It’s that simple.
