Discover the Love You Deserve, How to Align Your Life with Your Heart’s Desires
By Gina Maier Vincent
February isn’t just about romantic love—it’s a time to rediscover the love you deserve by aligning with the dreams and desires that truly fulfill you. Many successful professionals feel something is missing—that “something” is their “More.” Pursuing it isn’t selfish; it’s honoring your truth and creating a life authentically aligned with who you are.
5 Ways to Discover Your “More”
Reflect on What You’ve Sacrificed for Success
Success often comes at a cost. Take a moment to consider the dreams or joys you may have left behind. What did you love but let go of? These sacrifices can reveal what your heart still craves.
Tom, a client of mine, had spent decades building a successful career but felt adrift as he neared retirement. Together, we uncovered his desire to rekindle the spark with his wife and reclaim his health. Today, Tom is thriving—taking pickleball lessons, planning adventures with his wife, and embracing a deeply fulfilling next chapter.
Identify Your Unfulfilled Dreams
What excites you but remains unpursued? Whether it’s travel, a creative passion, or a personal goal, your “More” is waiting.
Celeste had given up traveling during her marriage because her husband didn’t see its value. Post-divorce, we reignited her passion for exploration. Within a year, she took her daughter to the Caribbean, her son on a mission trip to Guatemala, and recently returned from a family trip to Europe’s Christmas markets.
Move Beyond the Work-Life Balance Myth
Forget trying to separate work and life into neat compartments. Instead, aim for integration, where your career, relationships, health and passions coexist harmoniously.
Sara, a burned-out journalist, came to me exhausted and sick every few months. We identified her “energy leaks” and prioritized what nourished her. She reconnected with old friends, rediscovered hiking with her husband, and returned to her passion for horseback riding. Today, Sara’s life feels vibrant and aligned, with each part supporting the whole.
Use Envy as a Guide
Envy can be a powerful clue to your suppressed desires. Instead of feeling guilty, ask yourself what you’re envious of and why.
Lisa envied a college friend’s interior design business. After some reflection, she realized it wasn’t about the business itself—it was the freedom and creativity she longed for. Inspired, Lisa began offering weekend design consultations, and now she’s building a passion-driven business.
Permit Yourself to Dream Big
Your “More” is unique to you, whether bold or simple. Stop minimizing your dreams and allow yourself to imagine the life you truly want.
Julie came to me disconnected and stuck in a well-paying but unfulfilling job. Together, we uncovered her love for storytelling and authentic connection. She’s now writing her first romance novel and launching a wedding content business, creating a life that aligns with her purpose.
Your “More” isn’t a luxury; it’s your birthright. By honoring your desires and taking aligned steps, you can create an exquisitely aligned life—a life where your heart-centered dreams become your reality.
