Who we are and how we got here! Episode 002

In today’s episode, Chris and Debbie sit down for a fun conversation all about what’s brought them to this moment in creating the podcast.

They discuss the turning points in their lives that caused them to make some dramatic changes to their lives.

They talk about:

• The impact of Debbie’s health on the course of their life
• Why and how they decided to invest in rental real estate
• Reaching financial independence
• Chris “retiring”
• The unexpected lessons of leaving traditional, W2 employment
• Their future plans
• And more

They leave you with this thought:

If you knew that your art would support your life, how would you live? What if your whole life was a work of art, your masterpiece?

“When I say be creative, I don’t mean you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.” —Osha

We choose our life, no? (The majority of us adults with the ability to download and listen to this podcast, anyway.) If you aren’t choosing your life, designing it in a way that makes your soul sing—makes you feel truly alive—then who is? Who or what are you allowing to be in charge of your days, if not you?

Here’s the thing, to the best of my knowledge, we just get one of these, a life that is. That’s not sad or scary if we’re living that life from our place of power, by our design. It may not be possible to completely rewrite your life from one day to the next, BUT it is certainly possible to make one small change/choice/decision each day that brings you closer to the life you’re here on Earth to live. What’s the one thing you can do today that would bring the life you’re called to live one step closer to you?

DO THAT! — Just one step closer, one day at a time.

May you make art of your life today, friends. May you get lost in the flow of the creation of your own unique purpose. May you stand so firmly in your own power that you take just one step in designing the life you’re meant to live. May you begin to take back the paintbrush if you’ve lost it in the realization that you’ve got just this ONE LIFE. Now go and truly LIVE IT!
