At the Day's End

At the sunset of your life, what do you want to have done?  Who do you want to have been?

Most of us want to leave a legacy.  We want our time here on earth to matter.  We want to achieve and accomplish through our years, and leave a lasting impression on those that we leave behind.

We can all leave a legacy no matter our circumstances.  We don't have to be debt-free.  We don't have to live in a perfect, minimized home.  We don't have to be a CEO or a political leader.  We can be ourselves, and we will matter.

However, I want you to pause with me a moment and imagine what kind of legacy you could leave if you were able financially.  What if you pursued your dream and it took flight and affected many in the way you wanted it to?  What would it take for you to be able to do that?

For most, it takes a combination of time, money, and determination.  Simplifying can help you with all three.  Getting your time back through stopping unneeded spending, managing your time, and becoming intentionally busy (instead of busy at the mercy of your circumstances) can be a game changer.  Having more funds and being debt-free can allow you to give at a level you cannot with a mountain of debt and a shopping addiction.

And, the determination?  When you are less stressed, you will have energy to devote to hobbies and projects that are now languishing.  When you kick procrastination to the curb you instantly jump to the front of the pack.

Start your journey today.  Take things one step at a time.  The biggest trick is just to start.  Start with the easy wins - the "low-hanging fruit" and go shelf by shelf, drawer by drawer, towards an improved and different you.

Learn the difference between a need and a want.  If it is a need, bring it home.  If it is a want, let it stay at the store.  Use your money to purchase freedom for you, and maybe your children and grandchildren as well.

There is so much to learn about simplifying.  In Simple Fly Life: The Manual, tools are given from nine years of hard-won advice about how to demolish debt, have victory over wasteful materialism, and take your time and energy back.  Check it out on Amazon today.  (Link below.)
