![]() You know that feeling when you make a decision and suddenly the weight you didn’t know you were carrying is lifted off your shoulders? The burden of big decisions is heavy, which is why figuring out how you’ll feel after you’ve made a decision is so important. Which is a fancy way of asking, will this route make me happy? When I think of making this decision, does it feel light or heavy? These decisions forced us to pursue those big goals, one step at a time. Why buy an RV? So we could visit all fifty states. ![]() Why start a software company? So Heath could be a CEO of his own company. Why start a blog? So I could write a book. A quality of life decision aligns with those big dreams and pushes you closer to them. Does this align with other big goals in my life? We start by asking ourselves a few key questions: 1. Will this one decision help me make many more decisions? ![]() Will I have another opportunity like this? Would this open me up to do more things that I love?

Moving into an RV was making the decision that answered “Which path is going to give us the best quality of life?” What is going to make me the best version of myself? The #livingmybestlife (and insert other cliches here). We would live the life we’d dreamed up together. We would finally start a business (or go broke). And we knew if we stayed in Austin, we would end up continuing to work jobs we weren’t thrilled about, living in an apartment, and complaining about the traffic.īut the RV would thrust us into an adventure. But we wanted to start our marriage living a life of adventure together. Those were contributing factors for sure. When we first decided to move into an RV, it wasn’t to see the world or to escape the 9 to 5. This was exactly the mental process we used to make our big decisions put into a phrase that made sense. Once Heath and I heard it, something clicked in our heads. “It was a quality of life decision,” they said of why they started RVing. The same process we used for deciding to buy our first RV, to RV abroad, to start our first (and second and third) businesses, and to start a campground.Ī few years ago, at our first RVE Summit actually, Eric & Brittany Highland were sharing their story when they said a phrase that I didn’t know I needed to hear. ( Like this one!) And today we’re walking through the process of how we make those big decisions. ![]() Last week, we talked about opportunities, which ones we say no to, and which crazy dreams are worth pursuing. This month on the blog we’re talking about doing big things and chasing big dreams.īecause it’s the end of the year and with the end of the year come more responsibilities, more pressure to have life figured out for the next year, and lots of decisions to make. How do you make big decisions? And what is a “quality of life” decision anyway? ![]()
