Welcome to my blog, the blog of Chad Lucas. I am a son, a brother, a college grad, an adventurer, and a lifestyle designer. I grew up in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. I was and still am a pretty average guy.
Recently, I learned about lifestyle design. Lifestyle design is all about doing the things that you want to do. However, it takes some work to get there. This blog is all about getting there. I hope to share with you my experience and experiments in trying to design my own lifestyle. My hope is that through reading you will be encouraged and motivated to pursue the things that you truly desire. As I go on this journey I will share with you the tools I use, the tips I get, and the lessons I learn.
What Makes This Blog Different?
A quick internet search will show you that there are dozens of lifestyle design sites out there. So what makes this one unique. This blog is about holistic lifestyle design. In my searching I found that many lifestyle design websites only share things about becoming more financially stable, increasing productivity, and maybe a few things about how to minimize stress. This blog is all inclusive. It is holistic. What is money if you are not happy? What is the point of productivity if when you get done with your work, you have no one to spend time with? Finally, what is the point of doing any of this if my emotions and spiritual life are not being lived properly? That is why through this blog I am pursuing growth in the following areas: Spiritual, Intellectual, Financial, Physical, Relational, Emotion, and Other (which is things like travel, adventure, and whatever else I become interested in).
Finally, this is not a blog that is going to just tell you how to do lifestyle design. This blog will show you. In my short time doing lifestyle design I have gone on ups and downs. I want to share with you both and give you and myself the encouragement and motivated needed to change those downs into ups. This is a journey, and I invite you to come along.
