“Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.” —

of us have filled our days full from beginning to end with time
commitments: work, home, kid’s activities, community events, religious
endeavors, hobbies… the list goes on. When possible, release yourself from the
time commitments that are not in line with your greatest values.

Your Goals –
Reduce the number of goals you are intentionally striving for in your life
to one or two. By reducing the number of goals that you are striving to
accomplish, you will improve your focus and your success rate. Make a list
of the things that you want to accomplish in your life and choose the two most
important. When you finish one, add another from your list. 4.
Your Negative Thoughts – Most
negative emotions are completely useless. Resentment, bitterness, hate, and
jealousy have never improved the quality of life for a single human being. Take
responsibility for your mind. Forgive past hurts and replace negative thoughts
with positive ones.

luxury today to enjoy freedom tomorrow.

Your Words –
Use fewer words. Keep your speech plain and honest. Mean what you say.
Avoid gossip.
