This quote from author Karen Lamb has helped keep me motivated during a busy end to 2008 and start to 2009. May it inspire you to do the things that matter most to you.
"A year from now you may wish you had started today."
I've been thinking lately about how we complicate our lives. We often create our own barriers to happiness and success. We could do worse than following Helen Nearing's advice.
"Loving and Leaving the Good Life" by Helen Nearing:
1. Do the best you can, whatever arises. 2. Be at peace with yourself. 3. Find a job you enjoy. 4. Live in simple conditions; get rid of clutter. 5. Contact nature every day; find the earth under your feet. 6. Take physical exercise. 7. Don't worry; live one day at a time. 8. Share something every day with someone else; help someone else somehow. 9. Take time to wonder at the world and at life; see some humor in life where you can. 10. Be kind. Share your secrets to successful and happy living.
