As an adolescent, did you have dreams of how your future was going to turn out? Do you remember the excitement of growing up enough to get behind the wheel of a car, because that meant you were soon going to start making those dreams become reality? Now, ten years and a couple of kids later, you are still no closer to your dreams than when you were are youngster? You need to learn the art of living your dreams, and there is no time like the present.
Of course, over the years maybe your dreams have changed. You love your children, and you would not trade them for the world, but life is still not what you hoped it could become. You no longer dreaming of traveling the world and going to a gala event every other night, but you have a desire for a better job, more money in the bank, a nice car, and maybe a dream vacation.
Did you know that your view of life is usually a predictor of how it will actually turn out? If you constantly dwell on what is wrong in your life, how will you recognize when something right comes along. If you have an attitude of "I can't", you cannot discover that you in fact can accomplish what you desire.
For example, what if you wish you had gone to college after high school. Dwelling on past perceived failures, you might miss a golden opportunity. You see yourself as too old or too poor to go back to school. How do you know? What if you changed you mindset and started to believe in yourself. If you did, you might discover income sources or scholarships for non-traditional college students especially set aside for parents who want a better future.
How many times do you lament over not having enough money? Instead of wasting another day on empty wishes, you need to learn the art of living your dreams. Expect life to get better; develop a habit of thinking positive thoughts, and looking for opportunities to make things better. The key is: you need to learn to expect to find them.
No, it does not necessarily mean what you want will simply drop in your lap or be left on your doorstep. You will have to be an active participant in living your dreams. But, the point is, if you have the will to believe that good things will come your way-they will. Why? You will be expecting to be blessed, you will not just wish it, and lament the opposite. You can learn the art of living your dreams.
The Art Of Living
Without a doubt Vivre is the embodiment of luxury living, from clicks to mortar this ?ber luxury shopping website and catalog typifies the Art of Living. Vivre is the vision and creation of Eva Jeanbart Lorenzotti, entrepreneur and founder who launched this unique luxury-lifestyle, multi-channel retail concept over ten years ago. As a media darling, Eva is often featured in the pages of fashion press from WWD, Elle, Departures, Vanity Fair, Vogue, In Style and many business publications such as Forbes and Business Week. Hailed as the "mail-order magnate" by Time Magazine and "one of the most stylish women in fashion" by Vogue, Eva has redefined luxury shopping both in direct mail and e-commerce.
The Catalog: The concept of Vivre and selling luxury brands through a glossy magazine-style catalog was visionary when Eva launched Vivre back in 1996. The luxury market was virtually untapped in direct mail and Eva revolutionized the catalog industry as a place where luxury brands mingled between beautifully styled pages. With the emerging dynamic of luxury shoppers and the need to emotionally identify with the shopping experience as well as the actual product, Vivre filled the void with ease, elegance and style. The Website: As the dot com era came into play, Vivre capitalized on the strength of the catalog business by launching the Vivre website in 2001. Vivre.com catapulted the business growth into multi-channel segments allowing existing customers to shop via a new alternative method and in addition Vivre acquired an entirely new segment of online shoppers.
Today, Vivre presents an inspirational shopping experience through the format of a high-glossy, magazine-style catalog with a unique luxury-lifestyle focused website which contains over 150 luxury brands for women, men, children and home and gifts including luxury brands such as: Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam, Etro, Lela Rose and Geoffrey Beene. Luxury is synonymous with excellent service and Vivre provides complimentary personal shoppers to assist you, review the collections and act as a personal assistant in the selection, purchase and delivery of gifts for mementos and special events. International shipping is a breeze and with such a global customer base shipping is available at every destination. So with world-class shipping, expect world-class customer service from special orders to one-on-one consultations.
In April this year Eva brought the Vivre concept to life and opened its first ever boutique at The Cove, Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The aptly named store Escape by Vivre offers a tightly edited collection of luxury merchandise such as swimwear, caftans, accessories and handbags, exquisite items that Eva has explored the globe to find. With Escape by Vivre underway Eva is considering opening the next resort destination store in Dubai, The Palm, with a future flagship on a high-profile urban avenue in either Europe or the U.S. to follow.
However, if shopping in Paradise Island or Dubai is not on your annual shopping trip list, no worries, Vivre is close-at-hand, either flick through the glossy catalog pages or click your way through the website. Luxury, Style and shopping are right at your fingertips!
