In 2014 my dad passed away unexpectedly. In that moment things really changed for me. As many others in my situation have before me, I had the epiphany of how short life is and how our tomorrows are not guaranteed. I decided I would make it a priority to discover and live my "dream life". I learned a few things along the way...

1. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH

We can't enjoy all the fruits of life if our bodies are sick. Whatever you do get as many fruits and veggies into your body as possible!

2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR MIND

This could easily be looked at as an extension on #1. In our modern days of technology and instant gratification it is sooo important to take time for mental hygiene.

3. CHERISH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

We are a species that thrives off connection (real life.. in person.. offline connection!). Make spending time with friends and family a priority and cherish every minute of it.

4. AND LASTLY, DO THE THINGS THAT LIGHT YOUR SOUL ON FIRE

For me its yoga, climbing, hiking, and snowboarding.. Ultimately, it's spending time in nature. It really could be anything.. Find out what sets your soul on fire and do as much of it as possible!
