Effortless

 

Effortless

 

I mentioned earlier that I’ve spent a lot of my life figuring things out.  One thing that I’ve been working hard to figure out was simplicity.  How do I live a simple, relaxed, and satisfied life?  Truth be told, its is easy.  It is so easy, its hard to believe, and even harder to achieve.  We just spend so much time over complicating things.

 I’ve been writing my thoughts down on paper since I was a young child.  It mostly started out as therapy.  I would write down things that I could never say.  I would throw them away.  I started writing poetry and songs.  Most of it was about love, and frustrations.  I’ve spent considerable time writing about inspiration, affirmations, and love.  These days a lot of it is about deep emotional trauma, personal freedom, and social injustice.

 In 2019 I was ignited to take action on writing a book that would be published.   I took a book writing class.  The instructor asked the questions, “If your book could do one thing, what is the one thing you want it to do?”   When I truthfully answered the question, I knew exactly what I had to write about.  In that moment, I needed the book to improve or advance my mortgage lending career and result in more closings.  Buy a copy of   Credit Made Simple

As soon as I knew  this one thing, what the book needed to do, it poured out of me.  If you are wanting to write, publish, or speak, that is the most important thing to start with.  Who will your message serve, and what will it do for you? When you can answer those questions, the rest will be effortless.

As I wrote Credit Made Simple, Dollars and Common Sense, I was reminded why I chose my career as a mortgage loan officer in 1999.  I was also reminded, why I stuck with it for 24 years.   I wanted to help people get security. There is so much financial safety in homeownership.  It is something I worked hard so very hard to personally experience myself, so I know how powerful it is for people.

After I wrote the book and published it, a few things happened.

• I realized that I had so much I wanted to share, and that I’d be writing until I die.
• I realized I had created a time savings explanation tool and resource manual.
• I realized that it was a credibility and marketing tool that opened several doors for new relationships and public speaking.
• I realized I should have written the book 10 years ago.

To date, I’ve published 4 books.  Three of them are about finances and our relationship with money. My next book will be about my personal experiences in life and will be a message from my inner child. All of them are my lived experience, which makes the immeasurable and precious. The important thing is that I now know I have a voice and  have the power to use it for the good of others.  Doing so is now effortless.

Living a simple life is now effortless for me.  I’ve chosen it. It hasn’t been easy to choose, but I’m grateful for the beauty and simplicity that is my existence.  It’s a soft life.  Its  simple, its full of common sense, and effortless.

Ask yourself what you truly want, and do the things that produce that.  On the other side of what you truly desire, should  be a soft effortless satisfaction.  If its not there once you get what you really want, you chose something you thought you wanted, but not the thing you actually needed.  Choose again.  Keep choosing until you live a simple effortless life.  Is the best, and there is not greater joy.

 

Abundance Always.
