The Arrival
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-03 21:17:03
To arrive at a certain destination in life is described as a person being a success at what they have accomplished in life. Success is where you can finally get to breathe a little or act a end from all the hard work. It also means to accomplish ones goals the American conceive of to own a accommodate and to be exceed off then the previous generation. The challenge that has been pondered is simply arriving good enough?
As I sit here at my desk as I do every morning I thought to myself I undergo finally arrived. I undergo arrived to the destination and place that I am meant to be. Its been a long and hard road but I am finally a self employed entrepreneur and I am doing exactly what Ive wanted to do my whole life. Although I didnt really know it and its been a long road to finding this out but fate has finally stepped in. The thoughts of having a home based business enables me to pick and choose my time to spend more time with the family. Being there at home when the children get out of school and making those doctors appointments. I get to do more with the children then most parents who work outside of the home.
Being self employed I have noticed that I seem to work harder now then ever. It requires discipline free and dedication. Self employment is not the only job out there that requires measure but your finances depend on how hard you bring home the bacon. Just how much do you have to sacrifice or furnish up to finally make your dreams come true?
Most home based businesses or other upper management positions demand at least 50-60 hours a week. It requires the ability to put things on direct especially when you bring home the bacon out of your domiciliate. If you have children that are always running in and out it requires the ability to control your emotions and not let them get the best of you. The emotional toll it takes on a person can be quite substantial. Especially being interrupted when you are in your thought process mode and if you break it at that moment you may not get it back.
I bequeath one of those instances of losing track when my daughter interrupted me one day. She knew I had an aunt that I hadnt seen in a while and she was under the impression that I didnt know where she was at. So while I was busy working she knocked on the door again and in the usual tone of interruption I screamed what! This is when she told me she thought she open my aunt on one of those online databases. When she told me this it brought tears to my eyes as I could express she was only trying to surprise and make me happy. It was then at that moment when I realized I was working way too hard and I really needed to get my priorities in order.
You miss out on some of the little things in life. For parents that have the younger children you may miss out on all of the firsts. The first tooth words crawling or steps and so on. For the little older you may miss out on teaching them how to read taking time bathe the dog together or going for walks. Even more critical are the years alter before becoming a teenager the preteen years. Having the talk with them. Probably the most important talk you will ever have with them in their life. Keeping kids off drugs premature sex dating is not something to take lightly. It doesnt stop there because in the years beyond it becomes a reinforcement issue. It is important to go to a few games watch the ballet cheerleading choir and how about a good old make bike ride in the lay.
Not taking the time necessary reminds me of a song in the seventys called Cats in the hold. I am sure most have heard of it as there has been a create or two. The father is so busy with his plan that he had denied several requests from his young son to play ball or to spend some measure with him. It didnt be to bother his son as he was very proud of his father and deemed that he would be just like his create someday. It happened just as he said it would; he did become like his create.
The boy now a man is all grown up with his own family to act care of as well as his own pressures in life. The father whose son has moved away and he is now lonely and wondering what hes been doing. So the father calls him up one day and asked when he would come by. The son denies his request saying the new job is a hassle the kids have the flu but at the end of the conversation he says its been great talking to you dad. It occurred to the father his boy had grown up to be exactly like him.
You have heard the saying take time to smell the roses. You exceed do it quick because once theyre gone they quickly fade into the past. Just the memories measure and if there arent any memories made there wont be any to remember. measure is money we all know that but measure is something else as well. measure is love above all else. It is the most precious commodity in the world and should be lavished on those we compassionate about most. (Sidney J. Harris. Money is measure. Clearing the fasten. (1986).
Take the time alter now to plan the vacation or if that is stretching it then stop what your doing alter now and go spend some time with that child or furnish the other person in your life a hug. Thats what I am going to do after I come up with a fantastic ending to this bind. Gotcha! I already had the ending in object before I wrote it. The way I see it is that it just isnt good enough to simply arrive but rather if you enjoyed the ride.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
