When is Enough, Enough?

I grew up playing Monopoly with my family of 11 siblings & parents. 

During the wintertime, some of us played this game in the afternoon & early evenings.  Every one of us had the desire to win the game by having more cash, property deeds with houses & hotels than anyone else.  Whoever won the game had the title of being the Monopoly winner until next time it was played. 

During that fantasy time, in a dream like -childhood concept, winning & having everything you every wanted-wow!  Tic-Tock-Tic-Tock-time has flown by & I am 50 years plus.  Now I ask the question again in my life-when is enough enough?

  We have many things the Monopoly game has to offer, such as cars, boats, dogs, wheel barrels, house, irons, etc.

 So, I am wondering when you say you have enough.  Consider this:

Do an inventory on your stuff & “monopoly goods.”

Share the list with your loved ones & have them help you complete the list. 

Gather together and discuss what you might want to keep & sell, or throw or give away. 

Ask the question “are my needs & wants met?”

Simplify your life.  It may open the doors to grow with less … but more energy & time to do something other than “collect stuff?”

Now…. Tell me how you have said enough is enough. Share your story here….

Plan to Fail/Fail to Plan : News about My Program

 We have heard or read this phrase many times over in our lives.   

Plan to Fail –Fail Plan-Plan the day, plan for a new home or remodeling project, plan for your money, plan for a vacation, plan for a new business, plan to keep the federal government in operation, plan for a wedding. 

Plan-Plan-Plan-we know about planning because our communication broadcasting center such as social media & resources & a variety of tools & books provides us an opportunity to strategize, organize, take action on the word plan.

So, what will it look like if we took the time to plan our lives?  What does that look like regarding the limited amount of time one might have being alive.  Well, let’s take a common sense approach regarding this concept about a life plan. 

 1^st, no one ever escapes death regardless who you are in this world-time is a precious commodity as you age.

 2^nd, no one else has your DNA any-where in this world.

 3^rd, you are unique human being & no one will ever be like you. 

4^th, time is a non-renewable resource & yesterdays are history. 

5^th, what time you are alive-guess what? you are with you- 24-7; so, why not take the time to be the authentic you & plan for a healthy & happy life.
