Best Tool For the Job

This is the seventh in a series of 10 articles that give suggestions meant to improve the over-all quality of your life.

7. Go outside. If you don’t naturally spend time outside, make it a point to do it more. There’s something about the expanse of the sky that will bring out your inner philosopher. Consider this passage from Tolstoy in War and Peace as Andrew lies on the field of battle at the point of death:

…how differently do those clouds glide across that lofty infinite sky! How was it I did not see that lofty sky before? And how happy I am to have found it at last! Yes! All is vanity, all falsehood, except that infinite sky. There is nothing, nothing, but that. But even it does not exist, there is nothing but quiet and peace. Thank God!..’

Outside is where ‘real’ stuff happens. Read Lonesome Dove (read it outside of course) and you’ll know what I mean. If you paint, do it en plein air. If you write try writing on real paper outside. While you’re out there, count the bugs. Become a bird-watcher, catalog the plants you see. Learn the constellations. Everywhere you look outside you find things the the combined human knowledge can’t explain–so many mysteries, so much to discover.

If one looks on search engines they will find many ways of becoming debt free. There will be a listing of many companies which provide debt management credit tutorials. Generally the first step, don’t apply credit card. Following this closely is credit card debt consolidation. Even though most people do credit card consolidation with applying for new credit cards and transferring all the debt to that one credit card, but that is not the best choice. Once the person is debt free they can spend money on more important things like insurance, such as holiday insurance and can hire real estate agents to manage your assets properly.
