Living a quiet life
Today Scottie and I tackle the thorny issue of what you can do if you feel you can’t follow your chosen vocation full time for any reason. If you’re stuck in an unfulfilling job, and you know what you want to do, how do you cope? You think smaller.

As it is the middle of the year, Scottie and I are thinking about the goals we made back in January and how we’re going with them. The point is, it is just fine to change your goals if the situation changes, or even if you find that you set the bar too high. And of course, if you set the bar too low you can change that too.

This week, Scottie and I talk about asking for help. It’s a strength, not a weakness. It’s good to use our strengths to help others, and ask for their help with the things that don’t come so easily to us.
How do you give and receive help? Let me know by emailing ruth@ruthamos.com.au or on Twitter @aquietlifeblog or on Facebook at Ruth Amos Author.
Today Scottie and I talk about breaking the big jobs down into chunks, and the example I’ve used is the way that I am now cleaning my house. Small jobs with really low energy requirements can encourage us to get the whole job done.
The episode that I talked about in the intro is Ep 100 Start small, but START

This week, Scottie and I discuss two big questions that I learned from the Christian Coaching Institute: Where are you? and What do you want? I start on the surface and Scottie immediately goes much deeper.
I also give some feedback I’ve received on previous episodes.
