I Have More Important Things to Do – The Gentle Art of Ignoring

Photo by jasoon

At the end of the day, most people who have big projects on their plates also have big to do lists on their desk. Each day, this to do list will have a few things crossed off, but more will be added for the next day, and then it the list is never actually done. So how do we remedy this? How can we get more done with the same amount of time we have each day? It’s often a matter of ignoring large chunks of our list.

Ignore my to do list?!? You must be insane!!!!!  Read more... (1154 words, 1 image, estimated 4:37 mins reading time)

Get Less Done for a Better Life

I know this title may seem ludicrous, but I’m not suggesting you stop doing, and I’m not suggesting you stop achieving.  What I am suggesting is that you take a break from all the stress of life and start to just enjoy your life just a little more.  Take more time with your kids, your lover, your friends and enjoy this life.  You only get this moment to do once, so use it wisely.  Get the most important things done first, then enjoy some time doing what you love, after all, that’s why most people want more money, more time, more things, to do and have what they love.  Read more...

Make Someone’s Day Today

Standing in line at the grocery store today I noticed that everybody just goes through the same motions while checking out.  They nod to the cashier, say hello, answer any required questions and generally move through each line like zombies.  I realized that in most of our day-to-day transactions, most of us do this exact same thing.  We move through life like zombies, feigning connection with other people.  Read more...

Push Your Limits, Face Your Fears

Photo by pinksherbet

Ask some of your peers what they have done new and exciting lately, and most of them will say no, ask them when they faced a fear last, and they probably won’t know.  In fact, when was the last time you purposely broke up your routine, did something new, or pushed your own limits?

It seems we all get stuck into a routine and that’s the life we live until something shakes us up and we start to explore, but aren’t the people we admire most in this world the people who seek out adventure?  Aren’t they the Entrepreneurs who took a chance and stretched the limits?  If we admire people like this so much, why aren’t we stepping out and stretching our own limits?  Read more...

Attitude of Appreciation

Photo by amahra58

No matter who we are or where we are from, there is one thing we all have in common.  We all seek happiness with everything we do in life.  No matter what we are doing, we do it in order to gain pleasure, happiness, or avoid pain and avoiding pain is just another way of seeking happiness.

In our current culture of achievement, it seems that everybody is always setting goals and doing more in order to get more.  It’s always about more more more.  We set goals, achieve them, celebrate and set a new goal.  Read more... (559 words, 1 image, estimated 2:14 mins reading time)
