I'm on a journey. A very public journey.
From having never written a word before December last year - I am now writing (hopefully useful) comments and articles every single day!
Despite always feeling that I had a 'book inside me' - I have probably written three or four books worth of information in less than a year.
Just shows you what you can do if you really set your mind to it!
What about you? What would YOU like to achieve in the next year?
There is a very fine line between positive and negative...success and failure...happiness and despair.
Whatever impression I may give - my life is certainly no 'bed of roses'. I have those negative moments, experience setbacks with sometimes alarming regularity - and perhaps haven't achieved as much as I would have wished when I first started out.
But...
I have found out that every experience I have is a learning experience. An opportunity to push myself to cope...push myself to acheive success in my life despite what happens to, or around, me.
I hope that you are enjoying the ride. :-)
In the days of 'get-rich-quick' with an army of (sometimes very well-known) 'sharks' trying to relieve you of your money - it becomes increasingly difficult for someone like me to make as big a 'difference' as I would like.
Too many people expect something for nothing - and have yet to find out that they will get nothing unless they pay 'something' - whether in effort, money, or time in return .
So - don't let the chase for money cloud your development. I have lost at least the equivalent of $50,000 in income in the last year - but money cannot buy the lessons that I have learned - and the satisfaction I have from doing things 'my way'.
I can't put a price on how important it is to be able to take Katie to the cinema after I pick her up from school or...
How important it is just to spend an hour in a coffee shop with Lesley or...
How necessary it is for me just to be 'around' to help when Connor gets ill (again!).
I haven't abandoned the 'chase' to be a Millionaire - far from it - but I know that, whatever happens, I will achieve my goals on my terms.
And so should you. Time is too important to waste otherwise.
