Moving in a new direction with this thing.....

Lesson 1!  

Some day I would love to be a motivational speaker.  This is probably a good forum to determine whether or not I am actually motivating. But, let's move on--the new purpose of this blog is to provide lessons on how we can actually cut through the bullshit in our lives.  Each day (I know, I know, blogging everyday might eventually become a chore. We'll see how long I last) it is my intent to discuss something trivial in life that doesn't need to be.

Clarity=Simplicity=Good Decision Making=Clarity=Simplicity

Today's discussion will begin with a basic lesson of the term, "value." The idea of value is something that will be re-visited over and over in the coming weeks and months.  It's important.

Value, in a business sense, is what you get for what you pay.  For our purposes, value has a positive connotation. Some things have value and some things don't. The ultimate goal is to fill your life with items that provide value. Everything else should get the boot.

Here's a good example:  Think of friends and acquaintances in your life...Are each of these relationships balanced?  For the amount of work you put into these friendships are they giving you the same effort, nurturing and guidance (or more) in return?

We'll discuss this more tomorrow.
