Gratitude Wednesday

Gratitude WednesdayGratitude Wednesday

There is only one downside to this great financial independence community.  Everyone is just too damn accomplished! While safely setting aside my own insane jealousy, it’s impossible not to be awe-inspired by the creativity and talent of this great group of people.  This series of posts is called gratitude Wednesday posts.  This gives me a chance to recognize/promote individuals who have knocked me off my feet by engaging, writing grade A material, or being extremely social media savvy.  I would die for the skills, intelligence, and downright friendliness of the writers highlighted today.  I will purposefully focus on what I think of as emerging blogs.  Everybody already knows about the websites that garner millions of page views a year.  I will focus on the future movers and shakers.

Auditing Myself

Have You Read Her Latest Post: Simple Switches Set 2

In Her Own Words:

Looking at corporate financial and accounting reports by trade has set me up with the knowledge base to look at personal finance through a slightly different lens. Don’t worry I won’t be too technical when writing about my own personal experiences with WEALTH.

In order to fully enjoy the wealth aspect of my life I think it is very important to live a healthy lifestyle. I am excited to have you join me as I explore wellness to strive towards having optimal HEALTH.

Wealth and health are two factors of a myriad of factors that go into a fulfilling life.  Follow along as I dive deeper into other factors such as relationships and balance to find HAPPINESS.

I believe that all three are very overlapping and all dependent on each other. On this blog, I want to share what I have learned through taking a look inward, so you can do the same. You might say I want to share what I am learning from auditing myself …

In His Own Words:

Work overtakes our lives and begins to define who we are. Think about the last time you met someone new. How long did it take to mention what you do for work as if that is the thing that defines you?

I’ve been there and I’ve come to the realization that life can be something more. Life shouldn’t be spent working 40+ hours a week inside cubicles and doing reconciliations.

We need to regain control of our lives.  Happiness needs to become a key component of life.
 
And it is never too late to get started on the path. Whether your career crisis comes at 25, 35, or 55, there is still time to take back your life from the “9-5 till 65 world”.
 
Financial independence can be the path to get you there.
 
And I’m here to help guide you on your journey.
 
You ready?

Bottom Line:Escape The Cubicle.  Discover Life
