I know this isn’t always the easiest thing because it requires a complete reversal in attitude. But I can promise you that it’s a great thing to do for your own peace of mind. If you get mad, try to bite your tongue and resist the temptation to react in anger. Instead, take some deep breaths, calm down, and try to think of reasons you’re grateful for that person. Find something, anything, even if it’s something very small. Then focus only on that reason to feel grateful. Slowly your mood will begin to shift away from anger toward a more empowering state.

When I left my corp. job I also left behind my company car. I opted to do without a car for awhile and it's been one of the best decisions I ever made. I walk so much more, I met neighbors who were previously just a blur as I rushed in/out of the driveway - and I notice flowers blooming when I walk. I even enjoy food more because now that I work at home I cook instead of rely on fast food. It's quite a different world I live in now than just a few short months ago.

It's not that your life always looks perfect - it's just that however it looks, you'll still be happy." ~ Marci Shimoff ~ One of our “Thought for the Day” quotes last week really summed this up beautifully for me:

I was just on your blog and it is looking so good. And yes, simplifying might take some work in this complicated old world, but the rewards are well worth the effort. I truly hope everything is excellent in your part of the universe! Lance my friend, how great that you stopped by. I was just on your blog and it is looking so good.

To an expert like yourself it may seem a bit simplistic, but between the <a href="http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/more-thesis/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Thesis</a> theme and <a href="http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/more-scribe/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scribe</a>, my relationship with google is now exceptional. I think SEO gets ignored by a lot of bloggers and that is not a very wise game plan. Appreciate the offer, I’ve been using Scribe for about a year and a half for SEO optimization.

I am especially focusing on embracing simplicity in my life. And what I'm finding is that it frees me up to focus more on what really matters. And...there's lots of enjoyment in that!! Love this list, Jonathan!!
