The Perfect Life = A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”  Seth Godin

I love what I am doing.  I could sit here all day long blogging, writing,  exploring places that I want to travel too, and how I am going to make it possible to live my dream.  I love it so much so, that at times I have to force myself to step away,  to interact with friends.  I guess the pull is so strong because for years I was miserable doing “all the right things”.  Things that friends and family expected of me, and was more the norm.

I’m not going to lie. I have moments where I think I may be crazy, because my new life is going against the way I have lived for years, and I wonder if I will make it.  But, I am happy for the first time in years, and that seems rather priceless to me right now.

Money and your material possessions can be taking away from you, how you feel inside can not.  Isn’t it time we started focusing on what brings us joy,  start working our passion, and creating the lives that we want.

Creating my “just right” perfect life…


Love is Blind

Love is Blind is a saying that we all know and understand. When our vision in restored, we wonder how could we’ve missed all of those signs!  The really scary part is that we seem to go through life, with blinders in place in all areas of our lives, focusing on only what it is that we want to see.  This focus becomes our reality, missing out on the good and the bad of what’s around us, skewing our perspective and leading us astray.

What’s the real reality around you?  Take a moment to look at your life as if you were watching it from a different angle – may be like you would a movie.  What you didn’t see before, should come into focus.

Creating my “just right” life


The Roller Coaster Ride of Contentment!

Aristotle says that without desire the world would die of inertia.  Eastern Religions believe that our perfect peace comes from wanting nothing, and I believe, in my Golidlocks way, both to be true.  As I see it, when we acquire more things, or reach our goals, or find our love, our desires tend to rise at the same time.  We seem to always stay at the same level, of wanting more. We have the house and now want the perfect furniture.  We have a love, and now we want more time an attention. We have our dream job and now want more recognition.  Then when a tragedy strikes like the loss of a job, or loss of property, or loss of a loved one, we plummet emotionally wondering if we will ever rise back up.  We work so hard to have more and more, and then we think, if I just didn’t want anything.  If I hardened myself to not want the love, or the house – I wouldn’t hurt.  So we self protect ourselves into not fully living.

I think our perfect lives come from not only having and reaching for our desires, but to fully appreciate and be content with what we have today.  To be content with the journey – the ups and the downs.  And, that is the peace of wanting nothing – contentment with what you have right now.
