is relative.
A few days ago a group of teenagers drove past my husband and I in a new Land Rover -- we live in an affluent area -- and I said, "I don't have any idea what it is like to grow up rich. I wonder what that is like for them."
He then said, "compared to millions of people in the world, you grew up extremely rich."
Then yesterday morning I walked out of one of my client's homes and just stood in her yard, admiring all of her land, her pool, her casita, and the luxurious feel of it all.
My silent thought was, "if I had this, I would sit out here everyday and soak it up. I'd create so many peaceful moments. We'd have so much space to run and play and be."
Then I took a moment to pretend like it was my home, and all of my chores and tasks were behind me in the house, as they would be if I lived there.
Immediately I understood that it wasn't more luxury that I wanted. Luxury I already have.
It is peace and being that my soul craves.
If I don't experience that now within the parameters of my gorgeous home and the luxurious lifestyle that I have the means to live by now, I don't know why I would with more space and more things.
On the other side of that thought was this one:
Life is a luxury.
I made up my mind in that moment to set up my life + my home to facilitate more joy + laughter, more presence, and more gratitude.
TLDR; I can and I will experience more completely the rich and the luxurious life that I have. Now.
And you can, too.
What are some ways you will create more physical and mental space to FEEL the gift of this luxe life you have been gifted?
Let's share some of our ideas, I'll go first (in comments)
