Dear readers,
Very recently many things have changed. I don't work for a tyre company anymore, I work in the agriculture business. Huge change. Tough decision. In early 2011 I did what I never thought I would do..I quit my job.
That shall always remain monumental to me. Shifting from the comfort of knowing what to expect to " ohhh God did I make the right choice?". Concerns normally surface, mostly they are based on financial reasons. You know, the how do you pay for this now, the bills and and and. Then it occurred to me how easily we are bounded by this chain of materialistic dependency.
For example, ok so you still are servicing a high loan for that fancy car you bought, but you can sell it and buy a smaller car just to get by. You don't need Astro cause its just repeating the shows anyway and plus you can just go to the nearest internet cafe and spend not more than 5 bucks to spend more than enough time to watch your shows on Youtube. You might, have trouble when it comes with the house rent or monthly installments, but nothing that a discussion with a bank of default forwarded payments can't handle.
In short, there are temporary solutions. Yes, you have to get up on your ass and find a job after that and yes that might not be easy. But you can start a business. Go to a bank and ask for a loan to start an enterprise. Maybe. The options are endless. The point is there are options and they come with risks. But what is the point is also that your comfortable 9-5 job you so take for granted of having now will always be at risk. And nothing is written in stone that you will live life as is forever.
And thus here I am. Yes I got a new job. I don't know what its all about but time and effort and hopefully hard work will help remedy that. So, we move on.
Thus the thing about concerns is...its nice to ponder on it, waffle on it, sleep on it, make gracious love on it if you want but then just take an action on it. And look not back but the future. On that point comes as well our concerns..2012. Will the end of the world come? Would Israel wage war on Iran? Would we go through another huge depression? Is the dollar stable? Would I get married? Is my health ok? I say lets build on factors we can influence and just do it. And here is a list:
1) If the world ends 2012 - Decide to live or die? To live, study what are potential forms of the earth's destruction and figure out best survival measures. If it means going to Tibet, to higher ground or build a ship then do it. Or if well, accept death then just maintain status qou.
2) Would there be a world nuclear war? - Maybe, if so build a survival bunker.
3) Would there be a financial depression? - If so, start saving and learn to cook. Cause selling food is always good business regardless.
4) Is the USD gonna stay up/down - Maybe not then start buying tangible things that can be used for barter trade later like gold.
5) Would I get married? - Maybe not but doesn't mean you can't build a life that does matters to someone, join charity. If its getting laid/sex is of your concerns than, depends on your religious views, there are available options...hehe won't suggest here..go figure.
6) Is my health ok? - Maybe not, than take small steps to improve, change your diet, stop smoking and drinking too much alcohol and and.
These are just examples and are ment to highlight the fact that life is about choices we make and not PhDs or Nobel prizes. Thus live life people. Live it to the fullest. Concern yourself not of what can't be done, and lets embrace what can be done...
