Home!

Your place of tranquility, peace of mind, rest and safety.

‘Where are you talking about?’ It can be a place in your mind and heart you resort to in turbulent times…a place no one can enter where you can just ‘be’ and contemplate next steps.

It can also be your physical house or dwelling where you close the door and only you and yours can be together to rest and plan and inspire one another.

I suggest it also needs to be a place of beauty…not meaning flowers all over but needs to be tidy and welcoming. How does that happen in my mind? It can be kept tidy and welcoming also. Close the door to thoughts you don’t need to concern yourself with. Leave space in there for growth and development of the good things you want to accomplish. You can’t entertain every thought or video or movie coming along. Listen to good music to help keep mentally sound. Read good books about struggle to victory.

It can be a form of relaxation to putter around your dwelling, keeping things in order, rearranging and revitalizing the look. Figure out what you like, what works for you, what helps you become a better person. So many things sound too simple and insignificant, but the little things grow and either build you up or tear you down.

It’s your home. Take care of it. Make it welcoming to you. Make it your place of refuge, tranquility and hope.

Plan Your Life

Yes! You plan your very own life!

Examine your life, your needs, responsibilities, wishes, dreams, family and begin to plan how to do things better. Consider how to grow and learn about what you are already doing and how to do things better.

Time yourself in your daily tasks – not so they can be done more quickly, but so you can expect how long it will take in your daily routine.

Think about:

  • What do I want to do right now?
  • What do I want to be doing tomorrow?
  • What do I want to know more about?
  • What do I find interesting?
  • Where would I like to volunteer and help?

How can I do better…

  • with my family
  • organizing my house, kitchen, bedroom, desk, car
  • keeping up with day to day at work, at school, with homework and personal studies

These may seem like insignificant items, but they are clues how to manage your own life for your good.

I don’t believe living our own life with our own values, likes and dislikes should be hard to figure out. It becomes hard when we begin thinking how other people think we should live them.

Plan a good life for you and begin living it!
