The things that matter to your peace of mind.

Ha! How our priorities change as we go through life…

Today's post, I'm afraid, holds no marketing value - but instead is a very selfish one.

I have thought about this topic often lately - in fact ever since we moved to live in Spain. When I first arrived in the UK about 9 years ago, all that was on my mind in terms of my work life - was a HUGE CAREER. I wanted to be a very notable and successful business woman. I didn't know how I'd achieve that or what line of work I'd be doing…

Fast forward 8 and a bit years and you get me sitting in my bikini (in the middle of November I might add) on our roof terrace typing away, and feeling incredibly humbled by the view in front of me. Without tempting fate and simply with gratitude - I am now thinking that the things that matter the most to me now are my family (including Andre and the cats and of course mom, dad, brother and so on), my friends, and the people we meet.

Of course I matter to me too, and that's how I have changed so far - I now care more about how I use my time. I care about who uses my time, where I am using my time, and how much fun and appreciation goes into whatever I am doing.

In short, be precious with your most precious commodity in your life. Spend your time doing the things you love most, with the people you love most in the places you love most…

Easier said than done?

NO - you just have to be conscious of this 'rule' and you'll see how soon everything changes to fit in…
