Illumined living is the slow and steady journey of hills and valleys making your way to the peak. It’s the embers that glow in the dark night and emanate nurturing heat that comes from hours of tending the fire. Illumined living comes from year after year of creating a vision, manifesting ideas and goals, being grateful what you have and continually exploring your unlimited potential.

It’s not too late to set some direction, goals, and visions for your life and make 2016 an impactful year.

Here is our curated list of resources and inspiration, click on each link for more.

(These resources are unsolicited and personally helpful to Lourdes Paredes)

Creating a plan and vision, rather than resolutions: from INC. magazine, this article offers great understanding on how we are wired and what could be more effective than resolutions.

Being More Productive: from Entrepreneur magazine, this article offers five tips on re-adjusting your habits and building new ones written by a productivity fiend.

Focus on building a life, not building a career: In this visual of the Theory of Awesomeness, MindValley explains the balance between “happy in the now” and “vision of the future. Following the path of least resistance truly leads to pot of gold!
