Yes, it may be ironic but after spending a great part of my childhood and youth "preparing for life" I ended up being a girl without any kind of futuristic practicality.
I simply relied on the value of my profession, and it was the first mistake living in a country like mine, besides I didn't have the slightest gift to visualize opportunities, and that made me lose the best physical years of my body to build something.
Here people don't build, they only care about surviving.
Luckily, the blows teach and so do the needs, and that same luck will be conditioned if you want something important to happen in your life.
It was hard for me to understand that I had to diversify, and that the extra effort has its benefits? And even if some are less ambitious than others in their life goals, it is something that always stimulates the desire to live.
But, I am not satisfied with what I have achieved, and although age sometimes worries me it is still not a limiting factor to continue advancing.
Why do I do it?
Because I want to live in a decent way, because I need to experience what it is to really live, because I want a better future when I can no longer be worth it.
How am I doing it?
With discipline, without losing my way...persevering, calmly, and with a lot of desire.
Maybe I didn't make it when I was 25 or 30, but when I'm over 50 I can also build a new life.
People want to be rich, to have enough property, to live in luxury and abundance...I just want the freedom now to work for myself, and to secure a better future for my family in a different country.
It speaks highly of a person who can evaluate and find better ways forward and it means there's more likelihood of a better future. Sure, there's always setbacks but by the evaluation, planning and execution of new plans those setbacks can be mitigated and turned into positives.
I like your last paragraph. I think that living and enjoyable, fulfilling and meaningful life doesn't require a lot of materialistic things.
Thank you.....
I also know that the day I achieve my main goal my mind will find new goals and needs....es normal, right?
My dear little sister arrived a few months ago to USA and she tells me that she will not stop working until she is a millionaire...I make fun of her every time she does it, but deep down I am very proud and happy because I know she is doing well, and that is the most important thing.....
Have a great Thursday!
Yep, resetting goals is important.
I hope your sister attains her goal and that you can also get yourself into a new scenario/country as well.
One day, it will be.
Thanks a lot.
