Doing What 'You' Want

" There is no set path............
Follow Your Heart!"


Sunday Morning Sunshine comes to you after the sun has set.    A long week followed by a really nice late into the night visit with a good friends to set me straight. 

Have you ever caught yourself constantly talking of what you "don't want?"  I had this pointed out to me most recently.  I have spent a lot of time finding what I don't want. In fact, I was told that I need to stop saying what I don't want and start saying what I do want.

It makes sense too.  Change your view... sit at a new window.... or in the opposite chair......put the shoe on the other foot.  This is what I will do.  I have always written it down.  My focus is going to change because I have been positively focusing on the negative of want.  I have been focused on what I don't want instead of focusing on what I do want.  So to let you know what I have so far...  I want to be happy,  I want joy, and passion in simple everyday things.

So I am writing my list to keep it clear for myself of the things I want.  I am also accepting the joy of knowing that life will just keep pulling one closer to their rightful path everyday.  One just needs to "let go accept where life is taking you!  It is when we take control  (like in down hill skiing ...and try to stop when going really fast) that all the problems begin!  Go with it and move with the mountain.  Go where it is taking you....(in skiing and the like) be mindful of any cliffs!!

LOSING IT!!

Quote: 
"I have lived long enough 
to learn how much there is I can really do without... 
He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things."  
~SOCRATES 

Have you ever been asked the following question: "Have you completely lost it?"  Well, this might be exactly what is needed in your life.  I don't mean go off the deep end and walk away from all you have.   What I do mean is take stock in what you have and how it is serving you.  What purpose dose it serve?  Is it serving you well enough to hold onto it, or is it time to let it go?  If there is something in your life that is just wasting your time and keeping you from having the enjoyment you deserve   Then maybe you need to walk away from it?

We are constantly being confronted with time wasters.  Life is the journey not the destination.  Take your time and enjoy the journey doing what you love!  If you are not enjoying your life, that is on you.  You can try and blame someone else, but everyday it comes down to the decisions you make.  If you want a different life, then start living your life differently.  It starts with you.  What do you want?  Take stock in what is important to you and who is important to you.  Design the life you want to live one step at a time.

The way I see it....YOU don't need a lot to be rich.  It isn't quantity it is quality that is important.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone ~ Henry David Thoreau

Let go of the things that waste your time and take you in the direction you do not want to go.  Start taking steps everyday to live the life you desire with those you love.
