Today, Rob reflects back on how the writings of Henry David Thoreau has impacted him throughout the course of his adult life.  He reflects on a life that is busy vs a life that is full, and how that impacts a balanced and simple life.  Rob also shares how he was able to gain clarity on how to achieve a simple life through taking steps to achieve financial peace.What would your life look like if you really had a simple life?  Perhaps we, like Thoreau, could take time to savor the beauty of nature around us and to smell the fresh roses of everyday life.  "Simplify, Simplify"  "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller    Proverbs 30:8-9Financial Peace UniversityAll Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)   ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at allaroundgrowth@gmail.com~ Notes:N/ASupport the showBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth
