Build a fulfilling and meaningful life on your own terms from "summary" of Single On Purpose by John Kim
To live on your own terms means to take the power back, to be the architect of your life. It’s about being the captain of your own ship, the writer of your own story. It’s about stepping into your own shoes, walking your own path, and owning your own narrative. It’s about living authentically, unapologetically, and fearlessly. It’s about embracing your uniqueness, your quirks, and your flaws. It’s about celebrating who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. Building a fulfilling and meaningful life on your own terms is not about conforming to society’s expectations or following a prescribed formula for success. It’s about defining success on your own terms, based on your values, your desires, and your dreams. It’s about setting your own goals, making your own choices, and creating your own definitions of happiness and fulfillment. It’s about rejecting the belief that happiness is something to be found outside of yourself and instead, choosing to cultivate it within. Living on your own terms requires courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to embrace the unknown. It means saying no to what no longer serves you, letting go of what no longer brings you joy, and making space for what truly matters. It means being willing to disappoint others in order to stay true to yourself, to stand alone if necessary, and to trust that the right people will find their way to you. It means being comfortable with uncertainty, imperfection, and the messy process of growth and self-discovery. When you live on your own terms, you take responsibility for your own happiness, your own fulfillment, and your own sense of purpose. You stop looking to others for validation, approval, or permission, and you start looking within. You realize that you are the author of your own story, the creator of your own reality, and the architect of your own destiny. You understand that true happiness comes from living in alignment with your true self, from honoring your own needs and desires, and from following your own unique path.
