Ideal Life

What do we really need? You say, "stuff costs money and there is always food and shelter". The Essentials. But beyond that what is there? What is it I really need? Contact. Love. Laughter. Me. A blue sky and green trees. A blazing sun on a summer's day. A warm fire on a cold night.

 

I run at a different speed than this modern world. I go slowly. I need space. I like to smell the roses as often as possible. Everyone else is scrambling around trying to Do something, Be something, Make something. Of course we always need money. Most say it is only a means to an end. But really I think they get a little carried away sometimes. Many times I have found myself teaching others how to slow down, take a little space. Watch the clouds go by. Sit in the sun. Contemplate who you are. Veg out man! They always say, " Wow, I never do this." And I think, "Geez, I do this all the time." This should be life.

Books to read...

To help you on your journey to the ideal life, I strongly recommend the following books:

Conversations with God: an uncommon dialogue. book 1, vol 1 - A really interesting book that will change the way you look at life and perhaps how you live it - even if you don't fully buy that it is God talking.
Conversations with God: Answers to life's great questions. Creating your desires, facing life's challenges, making relationships. book 1, vol 2 - In this book we begin to get into how to apply what was explored in the first volume to your personal life (what we need to be happy).
Conversations with God: Mastering everyday life: Defining your values, making money, staying healthy. book 1, vol 3 - In this book it is explained how to apply what was explored in the first volume to the mundane life (what we need to survive).
