The blog in the link above has me thinking. The bottom line is ask yourself: What do I really want out of life? and, What can I offer to the world that no one else can? Basically an intersection between what do I want and what can I give. Most of the truly satisfied individuals in the world are more about what they give than what they get. It has me thinking. No answers, of course, which is what you'd like. <br /><br />Also, the way I see it you earn your time to write by giving up benefits; others earn benefits by giving up their time to pursue their interests. A matter of economics. Finite money. Finite time. We are lucky in this country to have the choice. (I'd rather have time, but with a family, have to have the benefits.) I think the ideas in the paragraph above might have some merit...finding the _intersection_ of what you love to do and what you uniquely can provide to others (through this you find means to earn what others are willing to give up which in many cases is money.)Ellen D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17941596839062612373noreply@blogger.com
