Working at home THE U-BEND of life

My husband gave me an article to read this past weekend that I found very meaningful and amusing.  The title of the article is: The job of growing old (or why life begins at 46)
and is from "The Economist" December 2010 issue www.economist.com.

I remember people telling me when I was a child to enjoy myself as this was the best time of my life.  There is a lot of truth in that statement but only in that joy of not worrying about cost of time, just enjoying yourself and the people you are around.  I was fortunate in that matter as I had a large extended family, who believed in spending time with each other and sharing life while growing memories for future reference.  Where the saying was flawed was that someone else was driving the vehicle and I was just a passenger.  An so I grew up, got an education, a job and worked for someone else for many years.  During this time, I surely enjoyed myself, met my husband and overall, did well, but there was still that missing factor that kept creeping in my mind about life and the best part of it.

The key to the secret is (and yes this is another saying) when you love what you do, you will never have to work another day in your life.  That is the KEY my friends!!!!
I looked around me for years and saw those that hated working, their surroundings and complained to anyone they could.  That got old quick and I made a hermit of myself getting my work done and out to my home to stay up and content.  The idea kept revisiting me and I finally took a look at my life and surroundings and just found that there was so much missing from what made me happy.  It took me a while to find the right vehicle and get the map to where I wanted to go drawn out, but once I saw how simple it was, I got in the vehicle, took the wheel and have not looked back since.  I found something I believed it, started using it, saw the benefits and started sharing it with my friends and family.  Over a period of a year I took a few hours a week and just kept sharing this information with people in everyday discussions, over e-mails, at events and just whenever it was appropriate, and well, now I am doing this full time having left that work that was so controlled by others.  Granted, it was not a miracle or was it easy in the making, but a few hours giving up TV or computer gaming sure paid off in making my way from beginning to where I am now. 


I started out giving up two hour weeknight and grew it into a few weeknights and occasional events that brought me the relationships with others that were of like mind.  Not everyone wants to be in control of their life.  It takes courage in yourself and the belief that you can do something.  All you need is to want it, and surround yourself with people that are positive, supportive and that believe in themselves.  Too many of us are surrounded by others that like to suck the life out of you by dumping their self imposed problems on your lap as if you are responsible.  You don't have to run, but the key is to redirect the issue back to the person that created it, them!  Truth is a strong tool to use and once you have it in your arsenal you are on your way to success in life, business and happiness.


Is your glass half full or half empty?  Only you can determine that.  But if you are looking for a good way to freedom, then lets talk and maybe the road is in front of you already.  You will never know unless you take that first step.

Health is a matter of learning to be healthy and using your doctor and insurance as a tool not a crutch.  Learn to be healthy and have the quality of your life in your control all the time for a long long time.  Five minute video on daily detoxing without any taste, side effects.  If you take the garbage out daily, why not take it out of yourself daily and let your body heal itself.  There is no doctor or medicine that can heal you, only your body can heal itself.  Take the stress of toxins from pulling your resistance and burdening your body.  Only you can do it for yourself.
