The KISS principle

KISS - Keep it simple silly

After 46 years of life, I've found the KISS principle something that life should be centered around.  It's most recently been referred to as minimalism however, this reference is more towards items in our lives than just relationships.  What I want to talk about today is just that.  

Relationships. 

Take a moment to step back and start fresh, like a blank sheet you are given a fresh set of markers to remap what is good for you.  When you do this, I want you to apply the KISS principle.  

Draw yourself.  Describe what you hold important, NOT what you think others should see you as but what is important to you and relationships.  Here is an example;


Honestly, Integrity, Courage

Positive reinforcement, Healthy choices

Now take a look at what's going on in your life.  What causes you stress?  Is it financial, is it relationships, is it work?  Then ask, is it worth it?  Do you feel valued, were the decisions you made the thoughts that keep you up at night?  

Cut out all of what gives your heart ache.  Make a choice to KISS it away.  Don't put the pressure on something, someone or even yourself right now to have more, do more, make more.  Life is so extremely short and we are NOT given the chance to choose when it is done for us.  Do NOT give into the feelings that aren't about you, the feelings that do not make you happy and that rob you of the most valuable commodity, time.   

I sit here, lucky to have been surrounded by some amazing people, breathtaking opportunities and second chances.  I refuse to allow negative energy in our lives.  I will do my best not to give that most valued commodity away when I'd rather be living a happy life.  

Stop giving what you have to everyone else and start loving yourself first.  Trust me when I tell you that everything will fall into place when it's time.  Just keep it simple silly.

All my love to you..
