Seeing people who seem to have their lives entirely figured out can be both intriguing and intimidating. How do they do it? What’s their secret?
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of engaging with numerous such individuals and noticed a consistent pattern. They all share certain daily habits that seem to provide them with a sense of purpose and direction.
With curiosity, I began adopting some of these practices into my own life and was amazed at the transformative impact they had.
Here are eight daily habits that people who seem to have their life direction figured out tend to adopt.
1) Embracing authenticity
People who seem to have their life direction figured out understand the importance of being true to themselves. They are unafraid to express their genuine thoughts, feelings, and desires, even when they run counter to societal expectations.
This requires a high degree of self-awareness and courage. It’s far easier to conform to what others expect or desire from us. But authentic individuals resist this temptation and choose instead to honor their unique truths.
They know that authenticity isn’t just about self-expression—it’s also about aligning every aspect of their lives with their deeply held values.
From their career choices to their relationships, they ensure that everything reflects who they truly are.
By embracing authenticity, they create a life that is not only fulfilling but also deeply meaningful. They don’t simply exist—they thrive, living out their values every day.
Honor your true self. Live your authentic life. Start today.
2) Cultivating resilience
Another habit adopted by those who seem to have their life direction figured out is resilience. Life is never a smooth journey. It’s filled with unexpected turns, obstacles, and setbacks. But how we react to these challenges defines our journey.
In my experience, the most fulfilled individuals don’t succumb to adversity. Instead, they rise above it. They see challenges as opportunities for learning and growth, not as roadblocks. This mindset fuels their resilience and enables them to navigate life’s ups and downs with grace.
They understand that failure is not a reflection of their worth but a valuable feedback mechanism. Each setback is an opportunity to learn, adapt, evolve, and ultimately become stronger.
As the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “What does not kill me, makes me stronger.”
Embrace your challenges. Build your resilience. Start now.
3) Investing in personal growth
Those with a clear life direction understand the value of investing in their personal growth. They actively seek opportunities to learn, evolve and free their minds from limiting beliefs. This is where the “Free Your Mind” masterclass comes into play.
In collaboration with the shaman Rudá Iandê, we’ve created a masterclass that dismantles common spiritual myths and mental blockages. The exercises foster authenticity and freedom, aligning your actions with your personal values.
By participating, you’ll experience a mindset shift from frustration and guilt to love and acceptance. You’ll learn to break free from societal conditioning and embrace your true potential.

4) Challenging societal expectations
Those who seem to have their life direction figured out are not afraid to challenge societal expectations. They understand that the societal norms and standards that are often imposed on us may not align with their true self.
We live in a world where we’re constantly told what to do, what to be, and how to live. But this often leads us astray from our true path.
The individuals who seem to have figured it out understand that they need to challenge these external voices.
They learn to listen to their own inner voice above all else, even if it means going against the grain. This isn’t easy—it requires courage and determination. But it’s a crucial step towards authenticity and personal freedom.
Are you ready to challenge societal expectations and listen to your own voice?
5) Embracing uncertainty
Interestingly, those who appear to have their life direction figured out recognize the value of uncertainty. While this may seem paradoxical, they understand that life is unpredictable and always changing.
Many of us crave certainty and control. We want to know exactly where we’re headed and how we’ll get there. But in reality, life doesn’t work that way. And those who seem to have figured it out accept this.
They see uncertainty not as a threat but as an invitation—to explore, to innovate, to grow. They know that embracing uncertainty allows them to adapt and evolve alongside life’s twists and turns.
Uncertainty is not a roadblock—it’s a catalyst for growth. Embrace it.
6) Nurturing authentic relationships
Those who seem to have their life direction figured out place high importance on nurturing authentic relationships. They understand that no man is an island and that we thrive through our connections with others.
These individuals intentionally surround themselves with people who inspire them, challenge them and help them grow.
They cultivate relationships based on mutual respect, empathy, and cooperation, steering clear of relationships that are superficial or toxic.
Authentic relationships serve as a support system, providing the strength to overcome challenges and the joy of shared experiences. They contribute significantly to our sense of purpose and overall well-being.
In a world where individual success is often prioritized, these individuals recognize the profound importance of community. Authentic relationships are not just about connection—they’re about mutual growth and shared prosperity.
7) Practicing self-compassion
Life can be challenging and we all make mistakes. However, those with a clear life direction understand the power of self-compassion. They know that being harsh on oneself does not lead to personal growth, but rather, it leads to self-doubt and stagnation.
These individuals practice self-compassion—a deep understanding of one’s self, flaws and all, coupled with a commitment to kindness and understanding in moments of failure or difficulty.
By practicing self-compassion, they are able to navigate life’s challenges with more resilience and less self-criticism. They understand that everyone is human, and it’s okay to be imperfect.
After all, it’s our flaws and how we overcome them that make us unique.
8) Making conscious financial choices
Lastly, those who seem to have their life direction figured out make conscious financial choices. They don’t view money as just a personal tool for acquiring wealth.
Instead, they see it as a means to align their financial decisions with their deepest values and to effect positive change in the world.
These individuals understand that every financial choice they make has broader implications. They recognize that by directing their resources toward businesses and initiatives that promote social good, they’re casting a vote for the kind of world they want to live in.
They see prosperity not just as personal wealth, but as ethical participation in the economy and shared prosperity.
This perspective on money and wealth goes beyond the traditional view, linking financial decisions with personal values and societal impact.
Stepping into a life of authenticity and freedom
Throughout this article, we’ve journeyed through the habits that those who seem to have their life direction figured out commonly adopt.
From embracing authenticity and cultivating resilience to challenging societal expectations and making conscious financial choices, these habits are transformative.
They remind us that life isn’t about fitting into a mold or chasing after societal definitions of success. Instead, it’s about nurturing authentic relationships, practicing self-compassion, and embracing uncertainty.
It’s about aligning our actions with our deeply held values and using our resources to effect positive change in the world.
