How to Simplify Your Life

What do you think about when trying to simplify your life? Simplifying your life can be much easier if you plan your life according to what matters the most to you. For me I have a family of my own, so family comes first in my life. My kids matter the most out of everything else that's going on, so that is my number one priority. Everything that I do in life reflects on my kids later in life. When I do things, it’s done to make sure that my family will have a better life. Finishing what I started, such as getting an associate’s degree in Medical Office Administration is something that I have always wanted to do, so I try to make sure that I have time set aside to complete the task without hindering my family and never giving up because as I look back on when I first started, I can truly say that I have come too far to give up. My goal is to finish school so that I can start a career in the medical field, which I feel will be rewarding to both me and my kids.

I have eliminated a lot of things that I was doing when I first started school, because some of the things I feel had no value to me or my kids. Going out was one of the things that I put on the back burner, because to become successful, I feel that some things have to go in order to accomplish goals that I have for myself and kids. My focus is not on that scene anymore, it’s on the things that I can do for my family. I have lost a few friends on this journey because they don't look at things the way I look at them. I feel that if I would have kept on trying to make others happy, then I would lose out on a lot of things for me and my family. The time that I spent out is time that I now spend on my family and my school. I now feel that since I have let certain things go in my life, my life is much simpler and easier than before. It still gets hard at times, but I wouldn't change it for nothing because once it’s all said and done, my kids and I will have the life that I dreamed of having before I committed to bettering myself. Even though I have chosen the things that I do in life, no matter what I do, I still have to remember that family is first above all.
