Recently I have felt a desire to slow my life down, to look inside of me and search for the things in life that really make me happy. Up to a couple of months ago I was working in an office for 40 hours a week, working in front of a computer screen 8 hours a day; I was a credit controller and I felt I wasn't quite following my heart call...making sure I hit my monthly target didn't give me any 'spiritual reward' and spiritual happiness has always been very important to me.
At no point whilst being a credit controller had I stopped doing the things that truly inspired me: I completed a life coaching course, a counselling course, went to conferences and inspirational workshops during the weekends; I wanted to keep stretching my mind. I have always been a curious person, curious to know everything about Life.
By focusing my intention into looking for ways to enhance my life and be happier I have finally left my full time office job and am now working part-time from home. My new-found happiness certainly makes up for my lower income. I am constantly filled with an unbelievable sense of gratitude for managing my own time, my sense of freedom is limitless...and yes I caught myself thinking 'I wish I had done it before'!
Reality is that money is not the answer, it's a big help but you could be a millionaire and be miserable or have half of your original wage and feel you are living in heaven! trust me.
I have more time for my walks along the beach ( I love the sea!), time for reading, time to spend with my boyfriend, time to be inspired by the wonders of life.
I am reading a great book at the moment which I would like to recommend ' Harmonic Wealth ' by James Arthur Ray.
Love and Blessings to you all
