resolve

Life By Me Life By Me meaning sharers. next-step seekers. creative scribblers.

We’re a diverse group of coaches, journalists, idea-developers, artists, bloggers, strategists, moms, and dads. We love the idea of being in a world where you are living a meaningful life. Your way. Every day.

Lifebyme.com is an eclectic group of people – different backgrounds and ages, from different locations, and definitely with Starbucks orders. What we share is our desire to expand toward the next steps in our lives. We’re actively learning, defining, and pursuing what matters to us so that we live our most meaningful lives.

We meet people daily who are on a mission to do just that. There are probably millions of pieces of paper out there at this very moment of scribbled New Year’s resolutions pinned to bulletin boards. In a couple of weeks, many of those scraps will be covered by bills, pictures, dentist’s postcards … life. And, somehow, our resolutions seem to lose their oomph. Why? Why do we do that?

Resolutions are inspiring, but what really ignites us, what we find sexy, is the resolve to actualize them, to realize you’re important enough to attain what matters to you. We applaud your resolve to bring your dreams to life, no matter what forces push against you.

We’re all capable of success. More importantly, we’re all deserving. Whatever success means to you, resolve to pursue your success relentlessly. And when you’ve achieved that goal you didn’t realize you could, let us know. We might just want to say “Well done.”

We’d like to congratulate Sophie Chiche on her TEDx talk, Learning Curves: Accomplishing What Matters to You, and share it with you, along with our gratitude that you’re part of our family.

We wish you the happiest, most meaningful of new years.

-All of us at Life By Me
