Continuing to ask me what I want in my life
I’m wondering why I asked myself if I was doing all the things I wanted to do in my life as now I can’t get it out of my mind.It’s become my newest obsession and I’m really surprised as I always thought I’d completed a lot of things I always wanted to do that is, before my own expose.Then it came to me as I’m sure it will to you; we tell ourselves we’re alright with our lives however, in reality there is much we dream about in secret not daring to venture forward for fear of defeat...
Then I looked up the word defeat and was surprised to see failure, baffle, and the word losing describing what it meant to be defeated.Now I’m really motivatedand convinced I’ll not go forward doing more of the things I want to do and the only way to accomplish this; establish my plan of action.Plan of action what the hell does that mean and how does one go about accomplishing such a task?I’m not one to accept loosing and I’ve been known to never give up,so why when this is so important to my personal life wouldn’t I move forward and change just a few things for me.Thus here is my plan after reading my dam article again:
Yesterday was a wonderful day when I heard the news from my doctor “a clean bill of health” what more could anyone want…?
I don’t have a doctors appointment until November that speaks volumes…So yesterday was a day I planted my feet on the ground and decided to dig into my day job selling apartments and commercial investments all over the United States.It feels great and hopefully I’ll have a successful year.
My hair is growing back and as you know; the PET scan came back clear of Cancer.I can’t believe how good I feel emotionally.It must be I didn’t realize how scared and depressed I was inside.You get through the days and nights and quietly pray there will be more years to breathe life.
All right, I love life and heaven knows I wasn’t ready to let go, so when everything turned out great I felt the dark clouds around me peel away.I sense I could begin enjoying living again.This combined with the unusual feeling I had the other day regarding Karma makes me want to buy lottery tickets.Which by the way the mega lottery is over 118 million dollars.What would you do if you won the lottery?I already have a plan…
Everyday in the newspapers there are reports of economic recession… there is no respite from the tumbling stock markets across the country. Nowhere to look and nowhere to find comfort.
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.
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.When my 401 envelope comes I throw it in my file cabinet unopened (I am in no way suggesting you do the same, but personally I can’t stomach reading it.) I’m thoroughly convinced the only way I’ll be able to retire is by winning the lottery.The main factor in putting off retirement is maintaining health insurance coverage. It seems that at a time in life when health care is of prime importance the availability of decent insurance coverage and providers is lacking. I’ve several friends in the same boat, staying in the work force longer then anticipated. In 2007, almost 39% of the labor force was over 55 years old and over 10% of people 70 years of age and olderwho are not institutionalized are still working. The only saving grace for me is I enjoy my job and have Grammology.com where I can vent my frustration (aren’t you lucky?) Furthermore, with the wonderful news that I’m FREE from cancer I’ll be writing more!
