It’s only the rest of your life!




               The future, its big, its unpredictable, its scary and its exciting! No one knows what the future will bring to them! They could win the lottery or they can lose their own version of the lottery in one day and it would change their life forever! So how do I go about making my own best possible future! I’m starting to realize that the best way to ensure you have an amazing future is to live in the moment! You may have noticed that the people who are late are always much happier than the people that have to wait for them. That’s because those people have other things they are doing, things that keep them busy and they are LIVING their lives. Or at least that’s part of it, one way to think of it.
                I have always known that I’m happier when I’m busy and things are happening around me. This is partially contributed to the fact that you have less time to focus on the negative when you have other things that you need to be worried and fussing about. Also, something else I find always brings me joy or maybe even a sense of pride at the ability to look back at the things that you have achieved. Especially if those things you look back on also benefit those around you!
                All this brings me to the real dilemma that I have in my life! What to do with the rest of it. I have been blessed or maybe rather cursed with the belief that I can do anything that I want, ANYTHING is possible and finding the thing you love and turning it into a career is more than a possibility. Loads of people in this world get to do their favorite thing every day and get paid for it! My problem is, I don’t really have a favorite thing. I have lots of things that I like and I always find myself analyzing them to see how I could fit a few together to turn into some type of business. My latest is a high end movie theater; you know the ones with cheese platters, that you can get a nice glass of wine and a refill at intermission. The lobby is full of great books and especially the ones that are coming soon to theater! Also some great art and deco things that are on display of course also available for purchase. Sounds great right? I think so. It is just an idea though and I don’t have a clue if this would really make me any money! LOL…… which is kind of the point.  I also know that the financial planning thing is a very real idea and maybe I just need to get after it and do the dog breeding, wine making, book, art and deco selling on the side? Although I also like the idea of interior design so maybe I should become a real estate agent and sell my deco services on the side….. I think you are starting to see why I don’t even know where to start!
                So for now, I think what I’ve decided is that I’m going to spend some more time writing my thoughts down and sharing them. That way I have them to reflect on will also get a little feedback, which ultimately will only make me a better person and lead me towards a better future… or so I can hope. Call it my new hobby! Oh side note: I’ve also been thinking I would like to maybe take up jewelry making.
                And who knows maybe I'll just turn out to be one of the most interesting people in the world who never find out what they are going to do! You know the ones that never grow up!
