The truth about the easy life.

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

Last night was rough.

Our son woke us up in the night.
Which happens to all parents, I know.

He cried.
He was hungry, so we gave him a bottle of milk.

Just when I was about to fall asleep again, he cried again.

At some point, he fell asleep again.
I didn’t…

My mind was wandering around.

How nice would it be to have an easy life?

  • Sleeping through the night.
  • Sitting up rested.
  • No commitments during the day.
  • Just whatever I want to do.

Do you also wish for an easy life sometimes?

It would be so nice, right?

Nope, probably not.

As much as I wish for an easy life,
I understand that it would be boring.

There would be no more drive to share.
No stories to tell.

There would be no hardship to learn, grow and improve.

I wouldn’t even know how to cherish the good times in my life.

I wouldn’t know how to really enjoy the good blessings in my life.

There is a difference between owning $1 million and being a millionaire.

The lottery winner doesn’t know what to do with all that money.
Whereas the millionaire has the character strength to know how to handle wealth.

As much as I enjoy the idea of an easy life,
I remind myself that success and blessings are only cherished by understanding the lack and hardship that would be the opposite.

If you’re dealing with hardship right now,
I want to encourage you to look for the blessings you have.

​

Cherish them and grow.

  • You Always Have a Choice

    I just read a post from somebody complaining how bad his dream job is and how the system is responsible it’s so bad. This seems like it’s so acceptable today.Everything is responsible for you not thriving or getting where you want to go. The other day, I heard a young man say that he has issues with girls because of his mother. When we don’t have one person to blame, it’s so easy to just blame the system. In my humble opinion, those are weak excuses. You make everyone and everything around…

    Introducing “The Trail Notes” – Newsletter Yesterday I shared with you the thoughts that guided my last 10 years. I wanted to find the best way to start and lead a family.

I call them my BFFs – because it’s Business, Faith, and Family. I love all three and focus on them since they’re all eternal games – I can’t win or achieve them. So all…

    I used to think shortcuts don’t actually exist. I was wrong. In online games, there are shortcuts. I was mostly playing free-to-play games.They had however one specific element that free-to-play games live on:a balance to pay-to-win games. There was always a slight shift.A game started as free-to-play.Over time, they started introducing more and more extrasthat you would need to pay for. These perks were something like a cheat code.You could speed through the game.The upgrades were making…

    I finally have it figured out!So I thought—when I entered the blogging space 4 years ago. It was amazingly simple. I just need to write blog posts on my website and Google will bring traffic to my page. All I need to do is sit and wait for people to rank my articles. A lot of people in the blogging space were making $4,000–$10,000 a month with 100 blog posts on their website. A lot of the income was coming from display ads they placed on their website. 90% of their traffic came from Google….

  • More knowledge is not the answer

    ByJowi

    I do like reading books. There is something about reading a book on the couch that is relaxing. It is a lot slower to read a book than to watch 10 YouTube videos in 2x speed. We live in an era of endless information. We can find an answer to every question in 1000 videos. Yet we keep looking for the golden shard to build our sensation. The one missing piece that will make the rest fall into place. I am also a knowledge junkie. I like to be informed before I take action. I have spent years…
