What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

People talk about “having it all” like it’s some shiny finish line—career, soulmate, house, dream vacations, picture-perfect mornings with green juice and no emails. But for me, having it all means something else entirely.
It’s not about checking boxes. It’s about alignment.
It means living in a way that reflects my values, not my fears.
It means creating work that heals, not just hustles.
It means having space for real connection—with God, with myself, with a few people who know the unfiltered me.
It means freedom. The kind that lets me choose what matters and say no to what doesn’t.
And it means holding both joy and sorrow in the same breath, without needing to explain or apologize.
Is that kind of “all” attainable? I think so. But not the way the world defines it. It’s not a destination. It’s a rhythm. A quiet, sacred one.
Some days, having it all looks like a creative breakthrough. Other days, it’s a nap, a whispered prayer, or a single sentence that lands deep in my soul.
I don’t need everything. I just need what’s true.
And I’m learning to let the rest go.
