Earning a Living vs Making a Life

The term, "Earning a living," is a telling statement in and of itself. Life is your gift from God or if you insist the universe. Keeping it viable is however sometimes a lot of work and hard cold cash.

Earning the money to survive can be done a lot of ways but you do not need to earn the right to live. You got that at birth. It is not earned, and it can not be taken from you lightly even if you refuse to work. The means to live in our society can be obtained without working a day in your life. I don't recommend that style of life but it is attainable.

Some of us are even born with the funds in place to live in style without working a day in their life. I have known a few poor bums, people who don't work at all and are experts at avoiding that wicked four letter word; work. I have also known a few rich bums, people who lived off their parents' wealth for a full lifetime.

This blog assumes you want to make your life more valuable than just having money will accomplish by itself. If gratification for you is just in ownership then find another author to be your guide. I neither want the job nor do I feel qualified to tell you anything about living that way.

I am qualified to help you become an entrepreneur. I have helped start businesses or rescue them for over forty years. I have learned a lot during that time and even remember some of it. This blog is my way of sharing that experience with you.

If what you want to do is discover who you want to be in the event that you grow up, even if you are in your eighth decade of life. If you find that you want to change the world starting with yourself, then we can go on this journey together. Let's wander around exploring possibilities together for a little while and see what happens.

This blog is designed to stimulate you toward adopting change as a way of life. It will also offer you ways to change your life. I have learned to find change enjoyable. Perhaps you will too, that could be entirely for the best. Change will come whether or not we want it to or are ready for it to take over our lives.

Life is about change, not money or power or ownership! Let us change ourselves. In learning to change ourselves we will change the world around us in gratifying ways.

Surfing on the waves of change is a fine art and a powerful experience. It is worth learning how to do that and feeling the exhilaration it can bring to our lives.
