Misalignment in relationships takes place if there is not sufficient time for them to grow.

Behind every scar lies a story that is a useful learning experience for personal growth.

Stewardship is not some mathematical formula or list of do's/don'ts. It's about the heart.

The simple life aims at healthier relationships. What hindrances need removing in your relationships?

Is God in the background or foreground of your life?

We should make financial decisions not b/c it will improve our situation but b/c it will benefit someone else.

Do you have a personal mission statement for time, money, and relationships w/ God and others?

We can't escape the fact that nothing else really matters in life if our relationship w/ God isn't what it should be.

The simple life requires flexibility. Since life isn't static, go with the flow!

Focus requires us to see this big picture. This means we understand that all financial decisions are connected.

Approach errors as an opportunity to learn, grow, and further define who you yearn to be.

The first step in the simple life is the determination to move forward with a few clear and concrete action items.

Movement means that we try again. And if we fail, we try again.

The simple life means that we sacrifice self for others.

The simple life is hindered when we focus on the material rather than the relational.
