Finish This! 21st edition

I've missed a couple of these over the past month....But I'm back!  And as always I am linking up through these lovely ladies:

Let's get to it!

I can change the world by:  This is a HUGE statement.  I honestly do not know the answer to this.  But perhaps I could share something I saw a few days ago on a Church sign:  "A kind word could change someones entire day".  THIS I feel could change the world if we all did this.  I am also a believer of smiling at people.  :)

The best career advice I ever received:  "Fake it till you make it"  YEP!  I remember someone telling me this when I gave real estate a try a few years back.  I was struggling with having to know all this information and I will never forget them saying that.  The thought behind that statement would be kind of like being confident even if you are unsure of yourself.  And boy was I ever unsure of myself.

I first fell in love:   When I was about 15!!  SO YOUNG!  Then again when my daughter was born.  

Now it's your turn!  How would you answer these?

Prompts for WEEK 41– October 15
I feel like a bad-ass when
One thing that always cheers me up
The quote I live by

Less is More

This statement always makes me think.  I guess it's a good thing that it enters my mind a lot, but what does it mean really?  Some people may relate this quote to recycling and the less we throw in a land fill the more land (Earth) we have.  While this is also a good thing, it's not the first thing that comes to my mind.

I have heard this quote many times in the past while visiting different churches (while trying to find the one where I fit in).  Less is More.  Less stuff, less possessions, less technology = a more simple life to serve God.  This really is what I am reminded of when I hear this quote.

So in today's world of technology and information at our finger tips (literally) how does one do this?  I am honest when I say that I love the technology that surrounds me.  I have my (smart) phone with me at all times.  I have a laptop, a Kindle Fire HD and other things to make my life "easier".  The thought of unplugging scares me!  Yet "less is more" sounds like the way to go when you think about it.

Perhaps it might be the way we live in our homes.  I have lots of stuff.  Clothes that I don't wear, things that I have collected over the years but can't part with (or so I think).  I was having this conversation with my co-worker this morning and as she reminded me "we can't take it with us".  True.  So I think I will start thinking of the "stuff" I have and come up with a game plan to try and live more simply. 

Could you benefit from "Less is More"?
