The Illusion
I thought I was getting involved with WA to make money. I would create a website. I would then link it to affililiates. Then the money would start to flow. Then I would be happy.
What I found instead was that the critical part of my new journey was not the money but the relationships that I have developed along the way. I have met people from all over the world. I have met people with an endless variety of interests. I have met people who unselfishly help me when I need help in developing my website, Google+ account, etc.
I have a new purpose for my life. This purpose is to create value in the lives of every body I interact with every day. Whether it is here at WA, at work, or with my family, the most rewarding thing is when I give to others. When I give unselfishly to others, an incredible thing starts to happen. My life starts to work perfectly. Everything flows just as it should. Bottom line is that when I give, I get back double in return.
So the illusion is that I thought I had to make money first in order to be happy. The truth is that happiness comes from serving others and I know, if I do this, wealth will follow.

Awesome...I always tell friends to give and it will return back to you...I stumbled across this site and really do want to make this work for me even though I may not be the best with trying to figure out all this computer stuff....I hope someday to help others on WA.
There are always ways to help. Just look around and there is always somebody in need that you can help even if it is in a small way like giving feedback. In fact I think giving caring feedback to others is the most important thing you can do to help others on WA
Hi. What an excellent blog - covers what a lot of us have found out, but maybe don't put into words as well as you! Regards, Jan
You've a wealth of proper thought. I drove that same road not too long ago. I think that realization takes a load off. Cheers Doc.
Napoleon Hill made a list of what it meant to be rich and money was the last thing on the list.

How cool that you figured this out, David! The destination is only a way station for rest and rejuvenation in the journey of life; the journey is really where it's at. After youve reached one destination and you've rested a bit, then it's time to set up another destination. At least that's how it usually works for people with active, forward-looking minds. Here's my favorite line from the Beatles' lyrics: And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Good stuff. Carol
The Beatles were right. Thanks for the feedback.
