Yesterday I wrote that I made an important decision that would change my life. Throughout the day I felt so sick that I could not eat even though my body was hungry. My mind could not calm down and my emotions were off the charts. I really did not know what was happening.
Slowly gathering the pieces over the past few days, I realised that this life changing decision was actually the wrong decision for me. Not everyone needs to be supper dupper wealthy. Some people are quite happy living a simple comfortable life. I so happen to be one of those people.
I'm not a quitter, but at the same time, I will not ignore my body when it speaks this loudly. Debbie Shapiro with her book "Your Body Speaks Your Mind" says that there are reasons behind the way our body reacts. I figured out what was mine.
I sent in my cancellation letter and almost immediately I started to feel better. Yes, there are still some left over after effects, but as the day progresses so too do they disappear.
The realisation of me not wanting huge wealth and just wanting a simple comfortable life filled with fun was ground breaking. This may seem so simple to some. I just have to ask, how many of the people out there remember this when they go about their daily lives. How many remember to find the joy in what they do, no matter how simple the task is, like pouring a cup of tea for some it may be coffee. The sound of the soothing water as it pours into the cup, the smell of the tea as it brews. The warmth of the cup as you take it into your hands. How many people out there enjoy the simplicity that life has to offer?
In a way, Sunday did change my life. If I had not taken that step I would still be chasing my tail in the pursuit of happiness, when it has been around me the whole time.
