Joyful Efforts

Seth Godin cooks dinner for his family every evening. 

Ariana Huffington sleeps 8 hours every night. 

Bill Gates drives his kids to school twice each week. 

All of these successful individuals make time for things that are important for them AND achieve amazing things in the world. They are just three of I'm sure a huge number of individuals who have figured out how to be successful in personal and professional lives, which I hope means they are happy too. 

I'm heading into my fourth week of being back at work after our 8 week honeymooncation. For the most part I think I've been true with my intention around setting my own pace. I feel myself slip every now and again and the anxiety creep in from somewhere, but I'm usually able to right myself again.

It's actually a very surreal experience when I know I'm in that flow. I can feel that my feet are walking on the path they are meant to be on. I know that I'm producing a lot and still getting home to bake muffins, make supper and spend time with those I love. I'm focusing on the right things, instead of the things that can just make you feel busy. I've had the courage to let things go and not feel guilty about it. I can feel the love is overflowing in my heart and it's given me clarity. I know that even if I stray a little that I will be able to find my way back here and now that I've found  this place I'll try hard to keep it.
