In today’s world of fast moving demand and expectation many have and are faced daily with the need to keep up, to deliver and exceed expectations of family, friends and employers.
Many are starting to question this never ending search for more and take a step back, re-addressing the basic issues of what really does go into making up a successful life.
With the “GFC” hitting hard, tough times have come, with people beginning to look for and find new benchmarks to be able to live their lives by, while still having a good quality of life.
Strangely, as pointed out by Whiteaker, many of the values which have stood the test of time are again becoming important. An interesting and very salient point! They are all coming back into vogue!
Basics such as fresh air, fresh vegetables (grown in your own patch), walking instead of driving and once again learning the art of self-reliance, let alone a good night’s sleep, all become essential to being able to lead a life of which you are back in control. Tried and true values are also the key to making a change; not only in your own lives but that of community and friends.
Looking at the spirituality or lack of, which underpins your life, is also a key ingredient to taking back the responsibility of your lives. Addressing such issues as laughter, friendship, kindness, loving, forgiveness and dignity, to name just few all go into the rebadging, if your new way of life.
To become rich in today’s world of struggle and high expectations is to take stock of your own lives, accept there is no quick fix to be had, look for ways you can find to help others come to accept that the philosophy of less is more is on the ascent, settle down to enjoying what is already there for the offering should you choose to seek it out and enjoy a rich, fulfilling life.
Whiteaker offers to all a new take on the old themes, a great guide book of inspiration, a road map of redevelopment and an open door to so many of the simple things in life that perhaps, in today’s hustle and bustle you have overlooked.
If you are genuine about re-examining your lifestyle this is one book that will become your very own personal guidebook on the road to rediscovery of all the truly good things in life.
