The first route is we can make choices based off of what society expects of us and what other people expect our life to look like.

The second route is this deviation from the norm where you can live your cloud nine life by making the decisions and choosing what is most inherent inside of you, what is really lighting you up and then making those choices that are more aligned with your heart and your gut and your intuition.

You have to appreciate the things that you have, like having a business in a home and being able to get up whenever you want and get to your office when you want.

So, it’s about thinking about that one moment as a part of the cloud nine day and ultimately, this cloud nine life that you’re constantly living and enjoying.

Make sure it is in alignment with what you want and be intentional about getting it.

What society expects can differ from the path you are supposed to take. Key components can lead you.
