I seriously envisioned myself a millionaire by 30 years old. <br /><br />The humorous part of our story is that it is not over! And life is full of twists and turns, with every choice we make. And the glory of life is experiencing the bad & the good. I know the cliche response is to "Put it all into perspective"... but the fact is, there is such a humbling truth to that advice. <br /><br />Recently, I have been working on a personal, creative project that has been on my mind/heart for years. Everyday, I try to work a little bit on it. It is exhausting as I find it hard to stay motivated and focused on the details. Lacking motivation, I vented to a friend and he gave me the best feedback; "If it were easy it would have been done before."<br /><br />You are amazing. You know that. You know your potential; as you dreamt of accomplishing those many goals in your 20's. You are now wiser, more resourceful, and free to take on any new challenge. You are ready, so don't give up seeking it!<br /><br />This is my new routine:<br />- Every day give thanks for one thing<br />- Every day treat yourself to something<br />- Find a group, network, or friends that you can meet-up with on a regular basis & share similar goals to find positive support amongst each other!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
