LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE

- Terrie V. Gutierrez DEPUTY EDITOR

That’s a phrase that’s bandied about frequently on social media these days – live your best life. I’ve often thought about that phrase vis-a-vis my own life. Am I living it the best way I know how? What does “best” mean anyway? Certainly, in the context of this publicatio­n you’re reading, the phrase would imply that people having access to the luxuries we feature here are living to their fullest. And in a sense, they are. I mean, wouldn’t you rather travel in a Bombardier G7500 than fly commercial? Stay at the Capella Ubud rather thank bunk in a hostel? Flying private gets you to your destinatio­n more well-rested and in a better frame of mind and staying at a good hotel will infinitely be more comfortabl­e, which I think is what it’s all about really. They’re not really about the luxurious things per se; it’s more what they give to the person who has them – the luxury of time, a good night’s rest – are in themselves simply the best things in life. And that may be what the phrase is all about.

So live your best life. It’s the only one you have.
