My Personal Karmic Lesson - Courage and Momentum

I think I have a karmic lesson to learn in life. Its about assuming control of my life and not being controlled. Sometimes the best thing in life is right in front of you.

I have been doing my internet business for a while now and frankly I haven't really put in the effort recently that I needed for it to really take off. Sure I earn some money, but Im not where I want to be.

So, I started a new 'job' recently in an area that I thought I was passionate about, thinking I could earn better money and giving me the life balance that I wanted through being an independant contractor. I figured I could do this work part time and continue with my other passion, WA.

But now, 6 months into the new job i have found that I have no time, not earning the money I thought I could, forever glued to the telephone, talking at all hours of the day and night, and working with people who are constantly destroying my passion. I have no time to do work on my websites and have set myself back months.

It takes courage and commitment to step out and do something that is not mainstream.

Having an online business, whilst being more accepted these days, is still not considered mainstream work. And people judge you for that. I have been called lazy, I have had people say I am wasting my time and energy.

Yet these same people think it is great that I have a JOB now, that is sucking the life out of me. Because I am conforming.

After a career in management, working long hours and earning 6 figure incomes, I just dont want to do this anymore. I am tired of conforming and want to be the master of my own destiny.

Its time to regain the courage and stick to my guns and expand my Wealthy Affiliate based online business. I CAN earn money online, I CAN have the work/ life balance that desire. I CAN work do work that I am passionate about. I am good enough.
