Life is full of opportunities. It is an all you can eat buffet, just waiting for you to feast.
The last couple years of my life, have been amazing. I risked it all & jumped, knowing that I could lose everything.
I am so grateful that life pushed me into a corner & made me feel like I had no other choice.
In less than 2 years I have completed 2 of my 4 financial goals.
My goals:
to get my home to pay for:
*Itself- (house payment, utility’s )
*My life- (food, gas, insurance, incidentals)
*Expanding expenses- (cost of room renovations, home property improvement, home expansion.)
*My retirement*
This has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever done. It feels good knowing, that I could walk away tomorrow and sell my home & my business for twice its value ( If I needed or wanted)
I am so proud of what I have accomplished on my own, in such a short period of time. With that said, I have to confess. Some of my biggest lessons in life, have been a lesson in Ego.
The hardest thing for me to say is,
“I am not Super Woman!!! I can not do it all myself. ”
Oh how I wish this were not true. I wish I was stronger & faster. But alas, my body and my life are telling me different. I must admit, I am human & I can’t do everything. There are only so many hours in the day. If I want to do things right, then I need to prioritize and evaluate.
what I am doing right
-vs –
what I am doing wrong.
The quality of my life has to be as important as the quantity. I can’t be happy, if I don’t feel like I am doing a good job.
Each time I expanded my business, It takes more time & effort to operate. In order to maintain a healthy existence, I need to balance things. If I give to much energy to, too many things. I will eventually lose quality, in EVERYTHING I do. My entire life & everything in it , will suffer.
Growing pains are a good thing!!! They mean you are evolving. I am feeling these pains on a daily bases. I realized that if I want to continue to be happy & succeed, I need to make a few changes.
I need to take somethings off my todo list.
With that said; I am taking the summer off writing a, weekly, blog. I am sure I will still post things, when I have the time or the desire. I want it to be that things I do, because my heart feels compelled to do it.
My blog, was started to keep me motivated & strong. It will always remain a source of strength for me. It will always be one of the positive things I do, to stay focused.
I invite you to Spend the summer, reaching for a better life, for you and for others. Don’t sell yourself short.
Be brave, Be strong, Be kind, Be compassionate & be willing to work hard and sacrifice for the things you believe in.
Get up and reach for the rails!!!!
