Spotlight: 10 Ways to Simplify Your Life

I begin with a question today, how many of us want to simplify our lives?  I recently read a blog post by Ryan Sonnenburg with advice on how to simplify your life…it was a great list and it made me think.   We are all so busy, with jobs, school, children, spouses, elderly parents, pets, friends….How do you keep life simple?  Here are my top 13:

LET IT GO

TELL THE TRUTH

LOVE MORE

LAUGH

LIVE WITH LESS

APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE

LEAVE WORK AT WORK

LISTEN

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

DON’T LOOK BACK

NO IS AN OPTION

TRAVEL MORE

Life lessons from me to you.  Life is short, and my philosophy is to be happy and live life to the fullest.    Can you have it all?  Yes, emphatically YES.  At the end of the day, do you need to have it all to be happy?  What I’ve learned….you don’t need to have it all (wealth, privilege, luxury cars, luxury homes, big bank accounts, VP title, spouse, 2.3 kids or the white picket fence) to be happy or to have an extraordinary life.   Life is what we make it.  Simplify your life.
