| Are You doing what you really want in Life? |
Are you really doing what you want with your life?Even grandmas my age have regrets. In fact recently I’ve spoken to my friends and most of them would have changed several things if they could go back in their lives. Of course, we know that’s not possible; so forward you proceed. However, is there something you can do to make your life what you dreamed it would be? Would you have to quit your job? Move out of your neighborhood? Go to school, or retire. There are many things that have a profound impact on your happiness even when you’re old. Often it’s overwhelming when I think about what I would really like to be doing. Yes me, I’m far from where I’d planned to be at this time in my life, and frankly my time is short-lived. So I’ve read some books and been seriously thinking about what I need to do to change my course and asking myself what is really important to me right here and now. As I ponder I wonder if I’ll be surprised at my answers so let me know some of your thoughts as well, because we all know misery loves company. Even more intense, as I go through this will I have the courage to make the changes? You read books, watch talk shows which give advice and experience where the objective is to help you move forward in a different direction. As I mentioned in other articles there are no reruns in this world. You get one chance and that’s it so with this in mind…I’m thinking. What’s my next move? Will I be making a transformation which ultimately will make me happier? Or will things remain status quo. Most of us think about what we missed or secretly dream about what really would make us happy and ultimately achieve our goals. So for my New Years resolution, and yes it’s early I’m going to think and dream about what I haven’t done which I really would like to do. So here are some of my first thoughts... Win the lottery or make a windfall of money with my career. Spend more time with my siblings, cook together, shop together, and just be together. Some how some way get the message out on our blog about how grandma’s really want to be in the family. Sharing our wit wisdom and experience become the safe harbor for the family. With my windfall take a family vacation with all my children and grandchildren. Consider where I would spend winters while it was cold in Take more time for personal meditation, spas, and self focus groups. Take a cooking class. Have group get together with my dear friends who I rarely have time for. Make a commitment to those who have less in some way, via church or a group. Yes these may seem like silly trivial things however, to me they are important and I’m going to start doing what the book The Secret claims you need to do….Think as though these things are already on the calendar, spend the money and reserve the time… What are you going to do?

I may be tired from working hard lately but I’m exhausted from just keeping up with what is happening on Wall Street it’s disturbing to see the mismanagement and greed we’ll have to pay for.
