Live on your terms! You will be happier than you can imagine!
The reason I write this today is because I feel that so many people out there still don't know what it means to live on their terms. A lot of people that I walk into and meet everyday don't live on their terms. A lot of them don't even understand what this means.
Living on your own terms does not mean making tons and tons of money. Look, I know we are all here in WA to make some sort of income that gives you freedom to please what you do. The reason this is a step forward in living on your own terms is because it doesn't have a boss.
First, what happens to a lot of people? They go to a job they don't like, they hang out with friends they don't necessarily like and worse, they don't have a meaning in their life. They don't have any sense of purpose in their life.
That's why making money online and learning affiliate marketing is a great step forward. At least, you are not hanging out with the wrong crowd. Affiliate marketing allows you to truly do what you like.
So, whatever your long term goal is, you can surround your website around that. You can become an affiliate in those products so that not only will you get paid, you will also learn more about it. Hence, helping you get closer to what you want.
Life on Your Terms in NOT just making money. A guy who makes a million dollars a year could be miserable. He works his butt off in what he is doing, but if he is truly not enjoying it, he will soon find that money motivation will go away.
In fact, motivation for materialistic items soon fade away! Because it works in a hedonic treadmill. If you've always wanted a house and you get it, you will soon not be happy with it anymore. Then, you might want a villa. Then, that won't be enough anymore. And then you'll want bigger villa.
We, as human beings, have the tendency to always compare ourselves to someone else. That's why you can never be satisfied with materialistic items. Because in all honesty, there will always be another guy who has more than what you have. If you have this as your goal, you will lose for sure.
You will never live your life on your terms. In fact, you will live a life on someone else's terms. To live a life on your term, you are focused on the bigger cause. And if you use affiliate marketing as a tool to live your life in your terms, you will be happier than ever. And you will get a nice income out of it as well.
This is what it means. And I hope every single one of you reading gets to a life that you want. I hope WA will give you a tool to get to that higher purpose in life.
Please comment below on what your bigger purpose in life. What kind of life do you want to live?

Thanks Parmi!
You remind us all that our goals should be bigger than just surrounding ourselves with “stuff”. My 91 year old Dad says he spent the first half of his life trying to get stuff and the last half trying to get rid of it!
I’m happy where I am and would just like to replace my part time income and work from home. This doesn’t translate to a whole lot of money but would give me the freedom I desire.
Well done!
KyleAnn
Oh that's a beautiful example KyleAnn. Yes, I think at the end of the day, you don't care much about the stuff that you have. It is the important moments and how much you serve others that you remember most.
It's great to hear that you're happy with where you are at. That bit helps when working online. The money that you will make completely depends on you and how much work you're wiling to put in. But, if you're enjoying what you are doing, it doesn't even matter right?
Wish you the best success KyleAnn!
Well said and what a wonderful attitude and I believe you have put it in a good perspective! My hope and prayer is once I have acquired my financial freedom as I hope to here, is to be able to manage it responsibly and be generous in my giving back to others as far as I am able to. Thanks for your thoughts.

That's great to hear Marcia! Yes, that's the whole idea. Knowing that you need to get rid of the old is the first step and you will soon find your new I'm sure. Best of luck to you!

I live on my own terms but hopefully, WA related income can help me to help some more people in Laos to get a good school education
Wow, seems like you have a solid vision Tommy! Laos sounds like an awesome place to be in. I used to have a friend from there and he always told me how peaceful the country is.

You're so right Debbie! Authentic self is the best thing there is. I think being that helps one find their true meaning behind life. Wish you the best with figuring yours out and also wish you the best with your business online!
