Being “CONTENT” Is No Longer Content

January 12, 2015

I realize today that I’ve lived a life of striving to be “content”….. Content with my income. Content with the stuff I have. Content with my lifestyle. Content with my free time.

I justify it using things like, “Well, at least I’m not as bad off as that guy getting arrested on COPS!” (remember that show?) or “Well, at least I get to go on vacation once or twice a year” or “Well, at least I have memories of experiences that I had a long time ago, when I had more free time; when I wasn’t locked into an 8 hour a day job”… Things like that….. Do you get what I’m saying? Have you said these things to yourself as well?

Here’s the problem…. I’ve also had “tastes” of something else…. Freedom!

For example, as a realtor, I worked hard…. (some times…..( just being real, here) )
Not having a boss and being my own boss let me experience what it’s like to “own my day”. I could choose to work, choose to play, choose to relax, choose to play video games, choose to …… well, just about anything I wanted.

It’s nice to have choices…… I’m “grateful” for everything I have now….. my family, my friends, my income….. but I am no longer content with just being content about everything.

I am getting my freedom back. Whatever it takes! I have a plan and there’s room on this boat for anyone……. I’m talking about the kind of freedom that comes from a plan…. A plan that let’s you condense real work…..the work that makes you money……into a much smaller package. My plan involves working less and making more……

What’s your plan? My plan works, as long as you work it….

Peace and love,

Chris
