New at Wealthy Affiliate

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make my first Blog and let everyone know about my progress here at Wealthy Affiliate. I have been a member at Wealthy Affiliate for 7 years. But don't let that number throw you off. I really have been absent for 6 years and 11 months. Thanks to Kyle and Carson, they have kept me on the email list all of this time. They did not close my account or boot me out because there was no activity. And I am grateful for that. I started back on April 21st 2021 and I have been going strong every day. My ranking was 330,000 when I started in April, and I am now at 324. I usually welcome everyone here at Wealthy Affiliate, as much as they are sent to me. As in my bio, I have helped many people throughout my life. I get a charge out of helping others. It is what gets me up every day. It has been a huge struggle during this Covid-19 Pandemic. I love to give big hugs, and have not been able to give my big hugs to people like I want. In North Carolina, we have just released most of the Covid restrictions, and we will see how this plays out. I am a little nervous about the sudden down play of the situation. But I continue to wear a mask myself, as a precautionary measure, until I can get a better handle on what is really going on. I do look at the long range situation, I think that it is part of a good goal setting program. Although our goals need to be smart goals, we all need to dream big and look at the future as though we are looking through a pair of high-powered binoculars. We need to bring our thoughts and visions that are out of reach, just a little closer, so we can focus in on a clearer picture of the direction we want to travel.

I know most people have a main job, so this is probably a side gig for a lot of you. It has been six months that I have been out of work, do to a work injury from a patient that was out of control. I work in the Behavioral Health field, and a lot of patients become agitated and unhinged at a moments notice. So you have to be on your toes all the time. It is a very stressful and rewarding job, but can be invasive at the same time. I look forward to getting onto the Wealthy Affiliate website. I have jumped in with both feet and became a premium member on my return. While turning 60 years young this April, I decided I wanted to go out with a bang. Maybe I have had my mid-life crisis a little late in life. So I need to make every day count. The future is here, and we need to make the most of it. I want people here at Wealthy

Affiliate realize that anything is possible. There is something called the Secret. It is a movie about the law of attraction. What you think about and what you believe to be true in your life, is exactly what you will attract to yourself. If you believe that you are entitled to have wealth in your life, then you will bring those opportunities to your life. If you believe that you are not worthy of heath and good fortune, then you will bring those negative realities into your life. What we can invision and dream in our mind, we can achieve in our lifetime. It was a dream for us to put a man into space and have him walk on the moon. A crazy thought in the 1950s. Yet only a few years later, we accomplished that dream. If you put your mind to this at Wealthy Affiliate marketing, there is no telling where you will and up. If I had kept up with this throughout the past 7 years, I am sure I would be rolling in some pretty substantial dough right now. Remember the story of the turtle and the hare. The rabbit may have jumped out of the gate with blazing speed, but the turtle crossed the finish line first. Slow and steady always wins the race. I am confident that if you put the time and effort in this project, you will come out a winner. Good luck to everyone.
