Do you wish that you had a blueprint for a rich, fulfilling life? Many of us mistakenly think that if we were prettier, smarter, had less obligations or a fulfilling romantic relationship we would, at last, be joyful and content.
Oh sometimes it’s hard in life to try not to keep up with the neighbor next door. I know that I do it often and have to take a step back to think about me and what I truly want in life. Jessica got a new car and mine is reaching 120,000 miles so it sounds like a good excuse because I want the new car too. However, I LOVE my car and actually am not ready to give it up.
I try to be a great housewife and make sure the house is picked up and that three meals are day (I am lucky that Cory gets to be home for lunch everyday too) are served hot to my family. This can get exhausting and I hit a wall, which I am currently in. I begin to not care and it takes a kick in the rear to get me out of my funk. If I wasn’t trying so hard from the beginning and kept the mantra in my head slow and steady wins the race than I would be better off to begin with.
Sand To Pearls was a huge help in reminding me of this. It made me stop to think about my choices in life and does it really matter. I could be spending more time with my kids if I didn’t care about vacuuming four days a week and would it kill my family to eat a sandwich for lunch once in awhile? I know that I was put here for many things and having to be perfect and keep up with somebody else is not why, I just need a reminder once in awhile, Sand To Pearls offered this reminder. I will be keeping this book on my shelves for a long time for when I need a quick “refocusing” moment.
