For the past few years I have been a fan on an amazing blog called Apartment Therapy, Maxwell its founder have given great advise to people on living on simple but meaningful lives. So I share w you his words on a daily newsletter he sent yesterday.
"While the daily financial news couldn't be more dramatic
(is someone writing this stuff?), and here in NYC there is a palpable sense of disbelief in the air, I have no doubt that the fall out from this crisis will touch every one of us in some way. But, unlike many, I think this may be a good thing.I believe that we're being handed a tremendous opportunity to refocus and rise to a new challenge, for as horrified as folks may be, there is no one in the financial business that I know who is surprised. These problems have been coming down the road for a while now and, if nothing else, it's a clear signal that it's time to change our style.At AT, we've long believed in the value and
gratification of getting your house in order, living with quality (versus
quantity) and creating a home that supports you in all of your roles:
professional, personal, spiritual. Now, then, is the time to slow down, work off debt, de-clutter, simplify and pare down to those things that are most important. It's a time to focus on happiness and spend more time at home.It's a time to buy flowers and to start cooking again.If you remember, we went through something much more devastating not long ago in 2001, and people's response to that crisis here in the city was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life."
PS-that is NOT my room
