My Insouciant Life

Bigger. Better. Faster. More. It's part of our human DNA to strive for new conquests and achievements. To challenge life and get on the rollercoaster for the ride of our life. As soon as one goal is reached we move to the next.

But sometimes it's nice (and healthy) to just step back for a moment, to catch some breath and get perspective. One of my old mentors always said the perspective is worth 100 IQ points. Who knows, really!

The point is: take time to celebrate your victories, enjoy the wonderful flavor of success. It could be getting a raise, loosing weight or making the perfect swedish meatballs. Let that feeling of pure, innocent joy fill your body and mind. Kick off your shoes and embrace the insouciant life. Just for a moment care to not care and let that feeling fill your veins. I do - as often as I can.
