Simplicity

There is so much i want to change in my life this year, none more than my career. But it's important to make sure there is focus in all areas, so that there isn't an imbalance of perspective - which i am definitely suffering from now.

So if career is number 1, what is number 2? Of equal importance I see health, finances, and adventure.

I want to feel stronger, fitter, healthier.
I want to feel like we have financial freedom, eg no debt...
I want to travel, and see other countries.

Mostly, I want to simplify my life. I feel so caught up in complications all the time, and feel like my attention is constantly spinning from priority to priority - with nothing making any headway, and I'm still achieving nothing.

Today is the first day I vow to give up coffee. I no longer want to blow $30 a week on this habit/ritual. And it's hard - and it's gonna get harder...

I see it not only as a health benefit, but a step in the right direction to simplifying my life. I realise that I don't hold money in high regard, it isn't one of my values, because I believe you can have a wonderful life with less, not with more.

but yet day to day i struggle because i can't afford to do anything, and i feel like i'm further behind from my dreams because my bad finances hold my back. i have no freedom because of my obligations...

and i have to work hard to remove the obligations so i can have the freedom to do nothing. it just doesn't make sense.
