Whole 'nother planet?

I had 

a conversation with someone this week

and during that conversation

I started to

see

in this persons

eyes that they had no idea where

I was coming from.

They listened politely

but

I could tell

that

this person wanted to know,

but
 was not

"ready"

to hear how I had achieved

a certain level of freedom and happiness.

It was kind of weird.

Most likely she went home and had

a

"She has gone crazy"

conversation .

I guess what I am trying to say

is that for some of us

being truly

happy

may involve some risk taking and

going against the traditional grain of things..

Giving up the safety of 

what society says we should have

to be

NORMAL.

 Leaving my regular paying job

to try something on my own

was very scary...

it has NOT been easy.

I can say there have been times

when all we have honestly had in

our checking account is $5 .

We have family that loves us ,

friends that love us ,

and somehow

things keep working out.

I am happier than I have been

in a very LONG time.

But is it

work? YES

Is it easy - NO.

Was it worth it?

YES

I forced me to work through

some issues I kept putting bandages

on in my personal life.

It sparked another side to my creative self that

got pushed to the back of the closet years ago.

I guess what I really wanted to say

was that you 

Choose

what is important to you.

If you keep doing the same things

you get the same results right?

No change is easy

but

you will never know the possibilities

unless you try.

If you really want something bad enough

you will do whatever you can to make it happen.

  Happy Day!
