Do You Settle?

How much is enough?

I would be the last person on earth to answer this question. I for one have never had enough. Not enough money or time, or friends, or opportunity. I seem to have an insatiable nature. Now don’t think that I’m unhappy because I may just be the happiest person on the planet. And don’t think that I am poor because that is definitely not the case. And I am sure we all have a full twenty-four hours in a day. And don’t think I am friendless because I have many great friends and many people don’t even have one great friend. And don’t think for a moment that I am not grateful because I am eternally grateful for all the opportunities I have been given even if I never receive another.

What I am saying is my soul has spent my whole life searching for something it has yet to realize. But I have always been optimistic I will find it. I have been told that all great people have a similar disposition. I hope you have one too!

Every great mind in the world’s history was honored with the same voracious appetite. If you desire great success then you too know of the craving that I speak. As a recovering alcoholic I always thought that the compulsion I felt was a symptom of my disease. Today I believe alcoholism is my souls need to fulfill its destiny of which alcohol stifled instead of appealed. Craving is a natural sense of need. When we can meet that need without the seven deadly sins; greed, lust, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy and pride, we achieve our ultimate potential.

Whether we are passionately climbing the ladder of success vertically or traversing a horizontal path as I have, all itches must eventually get scratched. I know I won’t be an old man sitting in a nursing home somewhere sadly trying to wish my life back so I can do it over. I want to get to the end of the road never wondering if by chance I may have left an opportunity on the table. I don’t want to even think that I may have settled for much less than I was capable. My dad once told me, “Son, you can do it right or you can do it over,” and I have never forgotten these words of wisdom.

I have had many jobs in several career fields all of which I utilize today in my occupation. If I would have settled anywhere along the way I may have ended up with a respectable job, making respectable money, in a respectable little town in Somewhere U.S.A., only to feel victim to dishonor and disgrace. Today because of the way I have lived my life I get to end everyday with
something worth more than all the money, popularity or security in the world; I get to live with integrity. It is what my soul has actually craved all along. Remember...

Your Life is PERFECT!
PAY ATTENTION!!!

Love,
Randy Ek

Re: Alternative Divorce Franchise? Re: Alternative Divorce Franchise? - As I see it - the difference here is that there is a support group around the couple. This team helps negotiate and settle their differences before the vultures start circling... I meant lawyers... not vultures.
My Daily Routine My Daily Routine - I'm usually up at 6:30, have a quick breakfast and get an early start to work. It's nice to have an hour or so before the phones start ringing. I'm maybe a little to addicted to my Outlook as I'm on it all day creating and responding to emails. Things tend to settle down in the afternoon and I get most of my tasks done in the morning so I can use that time to research, browse for ideas, and post on this forum! How about you Jen?
Re: October 17 Triple Crown Leaders Re: October 17 Triple Crown Leaders - Depends on the writer. Stan Prokop is put number one author and is always in the top five every quarter and article writing for us is a big part of his marketing strategy. For others authors, if they're new, they usually upload their entire archive of articles that maybe they've used for newsletters in the past and then they settle into a slower regular rhythm. It's often why we see names appear out of nowhere for one quarter and the fall off in future contests.
Re: How Do You Really Estimate Search Engine Traffic? Re: How Do You Really Estimate Search Engine Traffic? - This is a very good tip, but you need some budget to start this project. Some keywords will cost more than other from the very start, it depends which keyword you are targeting. I do agree it is the best report you can get on your keywords performance, but if you don't have a budget, you can settle for less. If you are a big company and have the funds for a big PPC campaign a 30 days test si the best investment you can get.
Re: What would you be willing to do for a million dollars? Re: What would you be willing to do for a million dollars? - Hi members, Like others have said, yes a million dollars would be great but do I 'need' a million dollars then no. I would settle for enough to pay of my mortgage and have a comfortable life style going into future years and I suspect most people would feel the same. It's an old expression but a true one that the best things in life are free. Good health, happiness and your friends and family around you, all other things are a bonus. regards, Mal.
