Personal growth

For the last month I have not been active on Wealthy Affiliate or on either of my websites. My personal life interfered and the energy nor motivatition was there.

I am finally back with more energy, motivation and determination. I was however positively surprised that my websites had pretty much been running on their own with visitors each day on both.

It makes me think how much further I would have gotten if I had but the effort in but also very thankful for the work I have actually accomplished so far, I mean they have been running by themselves, still making little pennies. No big ones yet but I have also come to realize that perhaps it is not just about the money. It is about creating something for yourself and if you love the work you are doing that is a success on its own.

The motivation behind it cannot, in my case, be the money because then I will get to focused on the goal and I will completely miss out on the journey that I am now on.
Perhaps this is just wisdom recently gained from turning 30 or perhaphs I have just come to turn with some things in my life and choosing to enjoy each day in the present instead of focusing on the future.

The only difference between a dream and a goal is a timeline.

When I have been writing articles I have rediscovered my love for writing and I have actually taken the step towards writing the book I have been dreaming about writing for years.

Sometimes I wonder if perhaps this was the reason I discovered Wealthy Affiliate, just to get motivated and start writing again. Sharing the things I have learned in my life as well as sharing my imaginary world in the form of fantasies printed on paper.

I guess only the future will tell.

I am however extremely thankful for everything that has happened in my life over the past year, good or bad.

"Just the past ten years has brought so many adventures and opportunities - Trips, people, moving, Thailand and Australia. I have gained some friends and outgrown a few on the way, I have loved and lost and then both loved and lost again. Trying to find that perfect fantasy which I have now come to realize is just that; a fantasy. I am not seeking this anymore. I want compatability and laughter. Being happy for the little things.
I have lost people dear to me but I have gained an extended family. I have turned my dreams into goals and I have realized I am rather happy alone than miserable with someone else. I have lost my beliefs but yet gained wisdom. I have without a doubt jumped headfirst into every, single, opportunity that life has given me and I will continue to do so. Of course there are things I would have perhaps wanted to do differently but maybe if the option was given I would end up making the same decision anyway because everything has brought me to here and now. Life does not come with instructions and to be honest, if it did, I don't think I would follow them anyway. Thank you to everyone who has been and still is a part of my life. For good or for bad. Thank you for the joy you have brought me or the lessons you have thought me. All the things leading up to today has created me and who I am today and I kind of like me. I do not need a lot to be happy merely adventures, my family and animals.
I am closing the door on my twenties and I am opening a window and welcoming the refreshing breeze of thirty. "
