Comfort is wonderful. But sometimes it is easier to find a stronger connection to life and living when you strip away all the luxury in life. Get back to basics and live with just the essentials of life. Some will find it exhilarating, others will see it as scary and still others will find it necessary. Embrace it once in awhile.

Too Little Time
No matter how much you have, it often seems we have too little time. Whether it’s a trip you are on, a project you’re doing or life itself, you really have to prioritise because time is your essential, expiring resource.
All In Good Time
Things don’t always go to plan. And some things take longer than you’d want them to. Things such as having a flat battery, traffic accidents on your route somewhere, or delays to aircraft or buses. Take it all in stride and find a positive reason for the delay. You might just find one: or two.
Keep Moving
A little movement can do a lot. Don’t stall. Keep moving. Things will work out alright.
Play
Play is powerful. It allows you to relax and be distracted. It’s fun. Play as often as you can. The world is your playground and its people are all potential playmates. Have fun!
Life Is Fast Paced
Do try to keep up!! Even when you’re resting, it’s moving at incredible speed. Take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and get back in there!
Some Things Flow Well
Sometimes you’ll notice how well things are flowing, like traffic, an airport, or even your thoughts. And other times you’ll notice that it seems like you’re swimming upstream, going against the flow, or struggling to get traction. Aim for flow, as a producer or consumer, because everyone will benefit.
Stamina
You have more than you think you do. When something is important, you can push harder for longer and withstand greater adversity than you ever imagined you could. Test yourself. Really go for it!
Non-Standard Items
There seems to be a tendency to do things our own way, as individuals, or in companies. This makes things unique and interesting. Though it can also make things inefficient and difficult. Non-standard items such as electrical plugs, rail gauge and forms could be addressed soon, for efficiencies sake.
Customer Service
Yikes. Some is terrible. Though some are really great. Today, however a bank/credit card company and a car rental company have been so very painful. I don’t recall ever being engaged for so long and walking away with such little progress. Some companies need to be reminded that our time is more valuable than their cost efficiencies.
