Most people never pause to question the structure of their lives. They adapt, tolerate, and normalize what quietly drains them. Not because they lack desire or intelligence, but because they were never taught that life can be designed — intentionally, elegantly, and on their own terms. This space is a reminder that prosperity, freedom, and fulfillment are not reserved for a chosen few. They are built by those willing to choose alignment over default, responsibility over excuses, and intention over endurance.
“There are people whose full-time job is to live well — and most of them decided to build their lives that way.”
A few months ago, I received a business opportunity deck to invest in a hotel in Morocco.
Today, I had a call about another investment opportunity in Bali.
And somewhere in the middle of that conversation, a quiet but powerful thought landed in me:
There are people who live like this every single day.
They wake up, and their full-time job is not survival. It’s not coping. It’s not “getting through the week.”
Their full-time job is to live well.
To enjoy.
To choose.
To prosper.
Then a second realization followed — one that changed the way I see everything:
Most of these people designed their lives this way.
They are not special.
They are not lucky.
They decided they were special.
They decided to make their own luck.
And that decision shaped the architecture of their lives.
Designing a Life Instead of Enduring One
This is how I want to live the rest of my life. Waking up in a beautiful, spacious, sun-filled mansion by the sea. Moving through my days doing work I love.
Prospering — not by chasing money, but by letting money work for me. By placing my money where it grows. Where it multiplies. Where it becomes a quiet, loyal employee instead of a constant worry.
This isn’t fantasy.
This is structure.
This is intention.
This is design.
Meet George
To keep my mind anchored to this vision, I did something simple but confronting.
I wrote down the most challenging thing I’m currently dealing with in my life.
I gave it a name.
On that piece of paper, it says:
“If you don’t take aligned actions, you will deal with Georges for the rest of your life.”
Because a George is universal.
A George can be:
- A boss from hell
- A horrible homeowner
- A relationship that drains your spirit
- Living paycheck to paycheck
- Any situation you tolerate because you didn’t choose differently when you could have
George is what happens when alignment is postponed.
The Life That Exists Parallel to Yours
Here’s the truth most people don’t want to look at:
There are people whose full-time job is to live their life fully and to prosper.
They don’t escape life — they inhabit it.
They don’t wait for permission — they move with certainty.
And this life exists parallel to yours.
The question is not whether this life is real.
The question is whether you are willing to take the aligned actions that make it inevitable.
Because the cost of not choosing is very clear.
It’s your George.
Journal Prompts
1. Identify Your George
Where in my life am I tolerating a “George” because it feels familiar, predictable, or safer than choosing differently — and what aligned action have I been postponing as a result?
(Write without justifying or explaining. Name it clearly.)
2. Default vs Design
If I continued living my life exactly as it is today for the next five years, what would I be enduring rather than enjoying — and what would change if I decided to design this area instead of adapting to it?
(Notice the emotions that come up. They are data.)
3. Prosperity as a Full-Time Job
If my full-time job were to live well and prosper, how would I structure my days, my money, and my decisions differently — starting now, not “someday”?
A Final Thought
There are people living like that. And we can be one of them. Not because we are lucky. Not because we are chosen. But because we decide to be.
And we act accordingly. 💫
With fierce love,
