Why You MUST Simplify Your Life


In an article by Marc and Angel's Hack Life, 30 Simple Ways to Simplify Your life, the author describe 30 sure fire ways you can simplify your life. They provide a short and long list. 

From the short list, I find the following essential to simplifying your life: 

Identify what’s most important to you. -A must do. How can a person expect simplification in their life if they have no idea what they can live with and without. Often when we start creating this list, if we are honest with ourselves we usually will create a very short list! 

From the long list, I find the follow essential to simplifying your life: 

Resign from a commitment you’re not passionate about.-Something I have tried to live by for the past 10 years of my life and have found that is something that we should commit to doing. Otherwise, we lead a life of potential misery and will end up chasing a dream but never living it! 

Enjoy life’s simple pleasures.-Definitely self explanatory. Why would you not? 

Don’t worry too much about what other people think about you.-Worry leads to illness, illness leads to unhappiness, and unhappiness often leads to a premature DEATH. So we all need to work on lowering our worry meter if we want to live life fully. 

Pay off your credit card debt.-You made it, you pay it! Often what we by with our credit cards we do not need and the unpaid debt causes unnecessary stress in the long run. 

Make mistakes, learn from them, laugh about them, and move along.-Mistakes lead to growth, a necessary road we must take in life!

Legacy-Do You Know What Your Imprint with Be from the Grave?

In an article entitled, "Leaving Our Legacies Mindfully", the author discusses how we should think about what our legacy will be and do so mindfully. In a culture filled with selfies, I often wonder how many of us actually care about what our imprint on the world will be when we take our last breathe.  Three things resonate with me from the article: Passion, caring, and living authentically.  When we are passionate about something, we are invested and willing to go beyond the call of duty. Feelings behind our passion are often our reward for the work that we do.  When we care about others, we say to them that their lives matters. One thing that has taken a back sheet to our selfie culture is our ability to truly care about others. This can be how we treat each other on a daily basis and most definitely how we step up in a person's time of need. From caring, grows empathy, grows compassion, and ultimately leads to real change in our lives and the lives of those we come in

Reflection: How We Treat Each Other?

Image
 As I reflect on the past two years, I am reminded about how we treat each other truly reflects who we are. In the past year, so much pain, disruptions, and loss have occurred but one thing should remain strong: How we treat each other in a manner that uplifts. Lately, I am wondering how this got lost for some and stronger for others. As someone once told me, how you treat someone is something they will never forget. Although we may forgive, most never forget. Because the byproduct of a bad interaction can last longer than we think. Its ripple effect can come to revisit, over and over again.  So as we move into the late quarter of the year, I do hope we up our game in the following things: Empathy,  Compassion, Communication Be Kind, and Be Presence.
