How do you define a meaningful life?
We’re constantly in the pursuit of purpose, but reaching that goal means a different path for everyone. However, there is one consistency as we navigate our way to a meaningful existence: We must love and rely on ourselves in order to get us there — despite the fact that we’re notoriously bad at self compassion.
If you’re looking for a little empowerment, read on for a little inspiration from artist Georgia O’Keeffe, whose quotes totally nail what it means to follow your heart while using your mind. Everyone’s journey to joy is different — but the key is trusting yourself.

This GPS Guide is part of a series of posts designed to bring you back to balance when you’re feeling off course.
GPS Guides are our way of showing you what has relieved others’ stress in the hopes that you will be able to identify solutions that work for you. We all have de-stressing “secret weapons” that we pull out in times of tension or anxiety, whether they be photos that relax us or make us smile, songs that bring us back to our heart, quotes or poems that create a feeling of harmony or meditative exercises that help us find a sense of silence and calm. We encourage you to visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and tranquility.
