What should we give up to get what we want?

Slow down, work less, live more…

This is so easy to say… We all want this.

The big question is not how much i would love this way of life, how much happiness i could get from it.

The big question is: What am i willing to sacrifice in order to get what i want?

It comes down to this simple question for everyone.

It is easy to let go of things i don’t like.

It is harder to let go of things i like in order to get things i prefer.

Want more time and work less?  Then accept having less stuff, making less money, keep the old car, eat at home, skip the vacation at the beach during march break, etc.

The same goes for a lot of things.

Want to be fit and lose weight? Then spend 3 evenings per week at the gym and miss time with your family.

That’s the way life goes.

We simply cannot have everything we want… It is just a question of what we are willing to give up.
