1. Get in touch with your aspirations. Keep a running list of ideas for things you know you want to do in life, adding to it continually, and then brainstorm concrete steps toward bringing your dreams to life. Don’t let anything stand in your way — you can do anything you set your heart on.

2. Schedule more time for what’s important to you. Validate your commitment to doing what you find most satisfying and fulfilling by actually putting those things on your calendar. Being busy with work and play doesn’t have to mean neglecting your own cherished goals and desires. Make the time to pursue the things you know you want to achieve in life — whether it’s starting your own business, writing the book you’ve had in your head or running a marathon. Whatever it is that makes you feel great about your life, schedule it!

3. Take steps toward your goals. Follow what inspires you by taking small steps toward even the biggest goals in your life. If you have a career goal, sign up for a class or workshop in the field to increase your knowledge and expertise. If volunteer work is what inspires you, join a cause or start your own drive to support what you believe in. If you thrive on learning something new, take up the instrument you’ve always wanted to play, watch online tutorials or enroll in online learning for that language or subject that expands your mind and horizons.

4. Treat yourself boldly. Explore all kinds of new tastes to find treats you absolutely love, and that bring you joy, just like the new Dove Chocolate Bars. Beyond the classic Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate varieties, you can try exciting new flavors inspired by the latest culinary trends, from the innovative Bourbon Vanilla Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Blonde Chocolate to the sweet and rich Raspberry Rose Dark Chocolate and Almond Brittle Milk Chocolate. Choosing pleasure never tasted so good.

5. Fill your life with great experiences. Your life is an adventure, so don’t wait for it — encourage yourself to make it happen! Get tickets for that concert you really want to attend. Visit that beautiful scenic park with a special friend. Go to that amazing new restaurant or art gallery you’ve been hearing so much about. Be bold and plan that trip to the one place you’ve always wanted to go.

Now is a great time to recommit to your own personal goals and aspirations, whatever they might be. Finding not only your sense of purpose in life, but increasing your sense of satisfaction in daily pleasures makes life so much sweeter. If you want it, go for it! Choose pleasure by centering your life around what you most want and desire.
