I used to reach material goals and just say to myself, ok, I've got it so now what? In the end it was fun to have what I worked for and wanted, but the gain of the material soon fell flat. It is about who you become, what you learn, who comes into your life, your relationships. It is ultimately about who you become and what you learn in the process. We all know now it is not the material that will satisfy you and make you happy it is inside of you where the joy is. It is in helping others. It is in contributing to making the world a better place.
Use books and seminars and digital products related to personal growth, encouragement, meditation to learn about what you need to practice and take action on to develop every area of your life. Be prepared to spend time in developing yourself. This is a process and a practice. The time spent doesn't have to be all consuming. What ever time you put towards this practice will reap you great rewards. You can do great things in your life with even just a half an hour a day. How much time do you spend sitting in traffic. How much time are you in the car anyway? You can plug into some great mentors while you are driving. Time well spent. Do you know if you spend 30 minutes in the car per day just 5 days a week that equals 2.5 hours in a week. That is over 3 forty hour work weeks per year. I'll bet you spend more time than that in the car.
Keeping your home and office free of clutter will go a long way in your mental clarity. The mess confuses the mind and drains your energy. For me clutter control is an evolving process. This is not just about the clutter that you can see I am also speaking about the junk drawers and messy closets and bureau drawers. If your stuff doesn't have some organization you will spend more time looking for stuff. Organize and save time in the long run. This doesn't have to be done all at once. Just do one small section everyday or pick something on the weekend. The point is to just begin. When you start to clear the spaces of your home of the extra stuff you will feel lighter. If you have trouble with this, engage a friend and help each other. Hire someone, there are people that offer this service in their business.
