How To Turn Every Day Into A Vacation

#ForeverOnVacation is my motto, the way I see life, and I share a lot of what inspires me on social media through my hashtag. For me, the ultimate luxury is enjoying what I do. I firmly believe you should only do what you love. Work should be fun! They say when you do what you love, you don’t really ever work a day in your life. Here are a few of the things that I think can make everyday life more pleasant. Ultimately, when you do what you love, you’re Forever on Vacation!

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” —Steve Jobs

I’m grateful to Steve Jobs for my iPhone and laptop, but as my goals and ideas keep expanding I also find him to be an inspiration. One way I stay focused on my goals and allow myself to visualize, too, is to literally drown out background noise. I always listen to my inner voice, and sometimes it speaks to me when fading out background noise with music!
