If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
Buddha
I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.
Julia Cameron
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thoughts from Jim;
Are you ready for a quiz?
Here are 4 statements, which one is true.
Living in unusually tiny homes;
(a) Is advisable only for poor people in Third World countries.
(b) Is advisable only for people in the US who lost their homes or jobs.
(c) Is not much better than being homeless.
(d) Can help everyone break away from the debt trap that makes work, not fun, the central focus of our lives.
The answer is “D”
Think about it, living in a tiny house, small home means a radical reduction is expenses; i.e. no mortgage - heck in most cases your 20% down payment will pay for the Tiny House; you would own your home instead of the home owning you - which would free up your time to really do what you have been dreaming of doing. And think of all the others bills that would be reduced, heating, cooling, groceries, and so much more.
Think about the space in your home that you heat and cool and hardly, if ever use it. Take a formal living room, it may occupy 7% of your total home space and yet you may use it less than .005% of the time. Yes, I know, it is still nice to have, and yet when you start adding all the other costs associated with keeping that room up, and your energy expended caring for it, wouldn’t a person rather pursue what they really brings them alive. So, is this a wave of the future, like the airplane that everyone scoffed at, or the computers that people thought on a few would have?
