remove work from your life．When you focus on simplifying your life，you free up energy and
time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here．

re．evaluating how you spend your time，or choosing to spend your money in a different way．
It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy．Life will reward your best effort．
Create priorities．It’s easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets
your attention，instead of intentionally using the time，energy and money you have in a way
that’s important to you．Focus on getting rid of the obstacles that get in the way of you making
sure you are honoring your priorities．
Reserves．A great life is the result of having reserves--reserves of things，time，space，
energy，money．Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences，and that
allows you to make decisions that are based on what you really want instead of what the fear
decides for you．
Eliminate distractions．Look around at someone’s life you admire．Ask them how they did
it．Find ways to free up your mental energy for things that are more important to you．
Thoughts．A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and
allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! People who have specific goals
look for ways to achieve them．Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you
meet with year after year is really important to creating a life that you love．
Start．There’s the old saying everyone’s familiar with”a journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step．”There’s no better time to start than today．Today，right now，is the
right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart’s desires．It’s what you do
TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow．

On Monica & Hitesh’s wedding day, Monica’s mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook(银行存折) with $1000 deposit amount. Mother: “Monica, take this passbook. 1 When something happy and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it’s about next to the line. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you’ve had. ” 2 This was what they did after a certain time:
----- 7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

-----20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Bali
----- 15 Apr: $2000, Monica got pregnant
-----1 Jun: $1000, Hitesh got promoted… and so on…
3 They didn’t talk much. They regretted that they had married the nastiest person in the world....
One day Monica talked to her Mother: “Mom, we can’t stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can’t imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!! ” Mother: “Sure, girl, that’s no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can’t stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. 4 ”
Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record.

Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.
But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!
