Keeping the Sparks Flying: It's the Little Things That Count

Keeping the Sparks Flying: It's the Little Things That Count
In the intricate dance of marriage, it is often the seemingly minor missteps, rather than the significant falls, that can lead couples astray. The essence of a strong, enduring marriage is not constantly tested by catastrophic events but rather the small acts of inconsideration, the minor neglects, and the everyday oversights that, over time, create a divide where there was once closeness. Through the analogy of a garden, marriage requires daily attention and care – watering with kindness, pruning with respect, and basking in the sunshine of appreciation – to prevent the growth of weeds of discord that can lead to disrepair.

The strength of a marriage can be profoundly influenced by the seemingly insignificant moments – a gentle word, a shared laugh, an understanding nod – these acts serve as essential nourishment, much like the morning dew to a garden. These lifelines have the power to revive a wilting connection, demonstrating that love is either nurtured to flourish or neglected to fade through these small, daily actions. It's the consistent whisper of small, loving acts that truly makes a difference, emphasizing the importance of saying 'thank you,' 'I appreciate you,' and 'I understand' through all of life's moments.

Committing to cherish the small moments, celebrate minor achievements, and seize every opportunity to contribute positively to our marriage turns the journey into a joyous, vibrant, and fulfilling path. It's about choosing to walk together, hand in hand, nurturing the gentle whisper of love's needs every day. This approach ensures that the spark remains alive, powered by the myriad of small gestures that, collectively, weave a strong and resilient tapestry of togetherness.

In a world that values external achievements, it's important to remember that true success comes from looking inward. 
Society often defines success based on material possessions and recognition, but we must take the time to discover our own definition of success. By peeling back the layers of societal expectations and listening to our inner promptings, we can align our actions with our values, passions, and purpose. Creating space for stillness and asking ourselves powerful questions helps us gain clarity on what truly brings us fulfillment and what impact we want to make on the world.

Learn to Live Differently with the Power of Discipline
Today we explore the transformative power of discipline in unlocking your best life. Contrary to popular belief, discipline is not about punishment, but rather a tool that empowers you to make conscious choices aligned with your goals and values. By embracing discipline, you gain control over your life and become the captain of your ship, steering it towards success and fulfillment.

Discipline plays a crucial role in achieving goals, fueling personal growth, overcoming challenges, and managing time effectively.

How I started to Live Differently

 
I was at a crossroad in my life when I learned to Live Differently.

It was several years ago that I was an investment advisor for a large regional bank.  I loved my position, my clients, the work. I was sure I was going to retire from this position.  Then one day the bank changed it's business model, didn't need as many investment advisors and my position was cut.  I was let go!

I did not have a plan B and felt like I was stuck in the muck.  What was I going to do now?  I knew that I didn't want to stay in the financial industry.  I didn't want to have my friends, income and career taken from me again.  I wanted to Live Differently.

For many years I was interested in natural products and how nature can help to support my bodily systems.  I completed a master herbalist certificate. I completed several master Reiki certificates and I knew that this was a direction I wanted to go in.

That's when I discover the essential oils of Young Living and their Seed to Seal promise.  Knowing about herbs and natural products I was thrilled to finally find a company that got it!  The products are only as good as the way the plants are grown, treated and processed to get the best results.  That is what Young Living does.  I also was very impressed with the way they combine essential oils into a wide variety of products for home, personal care, immune system, and event pets!  I had never discovered a company that does all of this and give you the opportunity to create an income simply by sharing the products.  I was hooked!

But that just started my journey to Live Differently.  I knew I wanted to get my Reiki practice started and there were so many internal stories I was telling myself about why this was not going to work!  I felt defeated until my good friend handed me the Aroma Freedom Technique book and asked me to join the certification class.  This technique blew me out of the water!  It helped me to turn around my internal narrative and self doubt I had to changing the way I saw myself and the world around me.  It showed me a way to use the essential oils I loved to improve my overall mental state.

So I was on my way.  Still I felt like I didn't have enough traction to really make a difference and that is when I found Oola.
Finding balance in an unbalanced world is exactly how I felt and that is what the Oola book talked about.  It showed me a simple framework to change the lifestyle I had to the life I really wanted to live.  It also is a whole community of like minded people that want to continually improve themselves and the world they live in. Now I had all the pieces that I needed to Live Differently.   

The best part is I get to share this with everyone who wants to Live Differently.
