Time For Spring Cleaning - Declutter Your Life

It's that time of year when we think about spring cleaning. I am not just talking about cleaning your house, I am talking about cleaning your life. Sometimes we may need to reduce the amount of commitments we have and reconsider the routines that may be hindering us. Excessive clutter in your life can be a sign that you are trying to do too many things at once. Many of us have lots of extra baggage we don't need, why not clear out some of the cobwebs to help us accomplish the things we really need.
 

1. Make a list of things that you love in your life.
2. Make a list of things that you want to accomplish this week, this month, this year.
3. Make a list of things that will help you get closer to you goals.
4. Read your goals every morning when you wake up and at night before you go to bed.
5. Get rid of the things in your life that are getting in the way of you accomplishing your goals.

The purpose for helping you make these lists is to help you prioritize the things that are the most important in your life. By reading your goals every morning and night it will make an impact on how fast and how willing you are to make your goals happen. By reading these goals you are putting more ideas into your head on how to accomplish your goals. As you accomplish your goals you will be adding new ones. Sometimes it may help you to have a friend you can share your goals with so that you can support each other in your efforts.

LOVE is The Greatest Power

The greatest power to overcome adversity is LOVE. When dealing with the things you hate in your life concentrate on the people and things you love. Thinking of the things you dis-like will bring more negative feelings and more of those things you hate into your life. LOVE is stronger than hate. Negativity cannot exist in a world of love. The Secret is one of the greatest tools you can use in your life. LOVE can change your life.

There may have been a time in your life when someone did something that hurt you and you held a grudge for a long time. The person that the grudge hurts the most is you. I learned a long time ago that you must forgive and move on with your life. Life is too short to hold grudges, and there is more power in love. By having LOVE in your life you have more appreciation for the things that you have and you will attract more things that you LOVE to your life.

Hard Times = Pay-it-Forward

We have seen the economy collapse in many different states, our country has been in a recession these last few years. Good jobs may be hard to get especially for someone that is older. Now more than ever we have the middle aged worker competing for the same jobs as teenagers. Families are struggling to make ends meet. Most families are not able to make the same wages they once did as of 5-8 years ago.

It is my commitment to help educate people to improve the quality of the life they live. With that knew knowledge that everyone receives I hope they are willing to Pay-it-Forward to help someone else. This does not mean that you need to give money to those that need it. There are many ways we can help each other, using the best of our talents to help someone else that may need something we can help them with. Maybe do things for a neighbor or friend as a trade. I think that if everyone was willing to Pay-it-Forward it could make huge changes in our communities where we live. To Pay-it-Forward is a simple act of kindness passed on to someone else with the promise that they will Pay-it-Forward to someone else.
