The truth about the easy life.

ByJowi Witt

Hey Reader,

Last night was rough.

Our son woke us up in the night.
Which happens to all parents, I know.

He cried.
He was hungry, so we gave him a bottle of milk.

Just when I was about to fall asleep again, he cried again.

At some point, he fell asleep again.
I didn’t…

My mind was wandering around.

How nice would it be to have an easy life?

  • Sleeping through the night.
  • Sitting up rested.
  • No commitments during the day.
  • Just whatever I want to do.

Do you also wish for an easy life sometimes?

It would be so nice, right?

Nope, probably not.

As much as I wish for an easy life,
I understand that it would be boring.

There would be no more drive to share.
No stories to tell.

There would be no hardship to learn, grow and improve.

I wouldn’t even know how to cherish the good times in my life.

I wouldn’t know how to really enjoy the good blessings in my life.

There is a difference between owning $1 million and being a millionaire.

The lottery winner doesn’t know what to do with all that money.
Whereas the millionaire has the character strength to know how to handle wealth.

As much as I enjoy the idea of an easy life,
I remind myself that success and blessings are only cherished by understanding the lack and hardship that would be the opposite.

If you’re dealing with hardship right now,
I want to encourage you to look for the blessings you have.

​

Cherish them and grow.

Your Jowi

    Broken Families break Society Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods. My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing. We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall. Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

  • Make Your Business a Habit

    ByJowi Witt

    I used to rearrange my to-do lists at least once a week. The issue was that I kept planning my perfect week. I kept making elaborate plans. This is what productivity has taught me: I need to plan for efficiency. But the truth is even more simple than that: Make building your business a habit. I write this today as I have just reached a pretty big milestone. I have published 100 newslettersconsistently. What was overwhelming in the beginning now feels like a normal thing to do. Writing my…

  • Are you present or just around?

    ByJowi Witt

    Being a dad is more than bringing a paycheck home. It’s more than paying all the bills on time. You are actually the leader, caretaker, and playmate too. You can teach your kids many lessons. They learn how to have fun while also living out their strength. There is a requirement to all of this: You need to be present. You can’t be absent. It’s not just physically being in the room but also showing your full attention and focus. This is the first side of the Present Provider. When it’s family…

    Business is not a One Time Thing. It is a lifelong journey. Many believe that they can win in business fast. At least when I look at their actions, they work like they are done in one year. That’s also how I got started. Thinking I just need to post 5 videos to YouTube and it will go viral. Then I create one product for $100 and I’ll be rich. Those were the three steps I thought would be what business was about. Now 8 years later—I learned it takes a lot more to run a successful business. The…

  • Build With Leverage, Not Burnout

    ByJowi Witt

    There is a limit to the work we can do. We all have 24 hours in a day. We might have a different energy level to start, but in the evening, our energy will be spent. The only way to do more is by building with leverage. It used to be that we needed to lift the heavy stones by hand. Then they developed the crane. Now one person could pull the rope and pull up the rock alone. We can have multiple levers. When I was younger, I rode my bike everywhere to school. There was a limit to how fast I…
