There is a wonderful freedom in owning less. It is wise for each of us, from time to time, to stop and evaluate our lives as we seek to make the most of them.
We should start choosing our thoughts like we choose our clothes for the day. Be content with what you have but do not become complacent about who you are. Don’t slip into mediocrity by living your life based on popular opinion.
Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show. I
filled my life with great stories to tell. Now no-one listens anymore they are
too busy with faces in their phone….
Complaining is almost never a positive reaction to our
circumstance. Is offering advice about how to complain less really just a way
to complain about other people complaining?
Some needed adjustments to our life habits are painfully
obvious. But there are other, equally valuable life improvements available to
us that fly a bit under the radar.
May we, as those who seek to live intentional lives, break
free from the selfish tendencies and instead, choose to err on the side of
generosity. May it be expressed in our gift-giving and may we be generous in
our gift-receiving as well.ps/smoh
