The Struggle to Engage

"Everyone of us is different. We either have different likes, dislikes, or styles. We approach things with our distinct viewpoint. And for the most part, we need to celebrate those differences. Who wants to be a carbon copy of the next person? There is no fun in that! 

But there is one way we are all just exactly alike – we all struggle from time to time. Sure, the specific struggle may be different, but we all still have them. You may struggle with balancing a schedule, budget, or a family. I struggle finding writing ideas, avoiding the Shiny Object Syndrome, or holding my tongue when I really want to speak my mind. 

Delving into the unknown can be one of the biggest struggles we have. An opportunity is presented. It looks intriguing. You and I are inexplicably drawn to it. But then, we start to question it. We call it playing Devil’s Advocate – which is a way we can express the negative side of it in order to test the viability and strength of the opportunity. Unfortunately, we all too often allow the negative side to win."

One way delving into the unknown happens is when we consider making significant changes in our lifestyle.  Listen in to find questions to ask yourself and learn helpful tips to get you started on your journey to making a shift to living a Simple Life.
