We are rebooting our life and starting over. Starting last April, we began dismantling our old life piece by piece. We sold everything we owned, sold our house, changed up our work, and made three million micro-decisions to choose to Work Live Play differently. As part of our constructing a new life, we are building a new house. We symbolically refer to the house as “new construction”.
Imprinting the walls with words of life
We are constructing a new life and a new story. Yesterday, we used Sharpie markers to write words of life onto the 2×4 wood frame walls. We want to imprint words into the frame of our new home. We believe that words reflect our beliefs and set our intentions. We believe words are the soil in which we grow our lives. Words are the vocabulary we use to create a pencil sketch of our future.
Why don’t we write on the walls?
We put up inspirational posters at work and in sports team’s locker room, why not apply them to the structural frame of our home? We wrote these words inside the walls to make them become a part of the environment we live within. Just like an Olympic athlete performing visualization exercises before they step into the arena, these words are helping direct the future story of our life.
Here are the words that frame the story we want to live in:
