2/2.20 ^^^Freedom to choose and freedom to act

I won in tennis today 6 - 4.

When I look at my life now, I feel a sense of gratitude.  I am on the right track.  It may not be much to others but to me this is a dream life.

It cannot get better than this.  Everyday is a vacation.  Cukup makan, cukup pakai (enough to eat, enough to wear).  So this is what Voluntary Simplicity is all about.  The river is flowing steadily downstream and I am just enjoying the ride.  Everything is reduced to the minimum.  With the exception of the watches, shoes and clothes, I reduced everything.

It sure feel good Sarah.  I have no risk whatsoever.  No hurry no worry.  Everyday I look forward to writing the blog.  Today I wear the Army Variation.  That means I am relaxed thinking about what to plan for the week.

I think tomorrow I wash the car.  I want to walk KL but I don't want to unnecessarily spend my money.  I had been planning to wear my new shoes a[s] (and) go for a run.  I think this month I spend a few days running the BU 2 Park.  Then I alternate going up Bukit Kiara.

Gosh, it feels so good.  Can this be true?  That I had crossed the finish line?  This is life at 55.  No debt and some cash in the bank.  Not too rich, not too poor either.

Of course this feeling of wellness is compounded by the sweat I had this morning.  It is true then that to be healthy all I need is AHAD and OMAD.

Now it is about getting in action.  Tomorrow I run.  I may run slow but the point is I must run.  I said I wanted to be a man fully functioning.  To do that I must run.

It's not what you do once in a while that's matters.  It's what you do on a daily basis that shape your destiny.  If I want to be a runner, I must run.  No question about it.  If I want to be thin I must withstand hunger.

Come to think of it, I firmly believe I got to choose isolation.  The main benefit is I save money.  On top of that I don't contaminate my thoughts with the herd mentality.

How much money do I need?  What if I reduce my spending?  I don't need much.  I can still eat well.  I still dress well.  If I can contain my lust for buying, I will be very happy.  Less is more.  The less I spend the happier I am.

BJ need RM10 k a month to stay afloat.  That is to set his baseline at zero.  I think if I am earning a living now, I will ended not being motivated because I am not keen to earn a living.

What motivate me?  None other than to do nothing.  The price is I don't have much money.  I recalled the kind of life Norlia is having.  What a shitty life.  That reminds me, look up for inspiration but you need to look down for satisfaction.

I had come a long way.  I had many role models that inspired me.  However nowadays I no longer need inspiration.  There is a price for everything.  No need to envy others.  No point in comparing.  I should envy myself.  I have a sweet deal here.

So it doesn't matter if this year I don't get any money from Munek.  I can manage.  I make a point to give my mom some money this year.

-----------------

Food is a concern.  I need to eat OMAD.  I should not eat sugar and I should go easy on starch.  Most of the time, food is the cause of illness.  What nourishes me destroys me.

Why do I like blogging so much?  That's because I write what I like to read.  No doubt I like to read.  Now what is better than reading what I write?

This song is on air:

I had salmon and salted egg for lunch.  I told you I have a good life honey.  The only thing is I don't have much cash.  Other than that it is quality living for me and my family.  This I got to thank Lizzie.  She is a genius when comes to managing the household.

What more do I need?  I got Lizzie and I got you.  I am set for life Sarah.

Now if I can only run.  That is the single most wanted dream of mine.  If I can run I am a man fulfilled.  So tomorrow I must run,  Doesn't matter how long and how slow.  I got to start running.
