So, what's on my mind?. Today I took a break from the computer!. Yeehaaa lol. I am the type of person who well how do I put this kindly, get's a tad obsessed, about following a certain path. Obsession = not always good. Some days I feel like I am getting so much done, other days...well....I am wading through mud. I have to say though, the whole internet marketing, online business opportunity thing just gets my mind excited!.

I have two passions in life.......personal freedom and creative expression. Of course I love my family dearly, my two daughters have been with me through the good and the bad, they are the reason, I think, that I understand that freedom is a non negotiable, because if I can achieve that, I can give that to them, and that is a gift that willl serve them for life. But I can't bulldoze my way to success. Damn that right!. I think if it was that easy I would have it done because I have a lot of determination, I suspect I really could move a mountain or two.

What is success though? Really, what is it?. Is it knowleadge and skill?. Not really because both those things are awesome but not acted upon they are pretty much useless. Is it action?..well not so much either, because action is often misguided and leads to dead ends and frustration, you KNOW that's true just as I do. Is it a goal? Geez, what is a goal, what is an action plan.....paper, graphs, points to be followed....NOTHING. None of this equals successs.

Success, for me anyway = passion. If I feel excited about life, I am successful. If I love what I do, I am successful. If I dont give a crap about what anyone else thinks of me because I KNOW I am the person I want to be, I am successful. I cant expect to find my happiness from anyone else in my life or any situation in my life..,,I learnt that when I was living in my car and I realised that even though I was homeless i could still be happy,

I do have the right people in my life now that are such a joy to me every day, that's a gift born of freedom. They are not there because I need them, but because together we can share so much and grow. I dont compromise on how I want to live these days, and so far that is working out. Yay!. But there is a long road ahead and who knows where that will take me. But as long as I am living from my passion, I kinda feel that it will just fall into place : )
