Making Life Simple - Starting Simple
I have been repeating to myself over and over for the past few years that I wanted to make my life more simple.
Spending the better part of my life as many others have done, on a mission to get ahead, make more money, surround myself with stuff, having the newest and latest thing.
Sound like you?
As an entrepreneur for most of my life, having interest in many areas, has in some ways been a good thing and in other ways maybe not so good. Some say I did it because I am not a happy person, some say good for you, some say I wish I had faith to do so, and others call it lack of commitment.
I say, its because early in life I had a desire to taste life in all aspects. But whatever the reason, it has led up to now, “To Just Live A Simple Life” and enjoy everything I can.
I have been blessed to have been able to travel in my life, I have seen wonderful places, lived in great locations, and met most interesting people. I have ventured into places where most people would never get to in their life.
My motive early in life was the same as most anyone. Make a good living, getting a head, and having stuff. But now, at age 51, I see that if I had followed another path, even with all the things I have encountered, if I had spent more time within my spiritual side, the cause and effect may have been a different story.
I have owned several types of businesses, some really good ones, some not so good. But during the time of each of them I had a drive for getting ahead, pushing over anyone, and never looking back. The duties and responsibilities associated with maintaining that lifestyle has cost me dearly. Perhaps in the way of family, friends, and my own passions.
Even now, the business!
Work, yes, we have to work. But dissatisfaction, being miserable, having no breathing room? Nope I don’t think so.
The way to have a more Simple Life, that is what this series of postings is about. It may not be for everyone, it may not work for you, but this is my story. This is how I will go about approaching the lifestyle of simplification. I will write about it in this section, how I find that place in my mind, in my life, in my home, and my work. In return I hope it helps someone else.
Let the spiritual issues surface that have been poking at me over the years. Bring my family, my friends, and my passion into the picture again.
Committing to God, and counting on Him.
Too late?
I think not, I am still breathing, and God has kept me here for a reason. I have a purpose here as we all do. I have a gift as we all do, and I have goals. I will share mine with you, the projects, the success, the not so good ones, this is my approach to a “Life Made Simple and Blessed”.
