Continued from page 1
And that’s when it hit me. I have really high expectations of myself. •Instead of seeing successful things I’ve accomplished, I see things I didn’t accomplish. •Instead of being proud of fact that I brought in enough income to pay our bills and have a little spending money, I think it wasn’t good enough because I didn’t make enough to pay off a credit card bill in full. •Instead of realizing I was able to take my kids to school, bring them forgotten assignments, meet them for lunch, and do countless other things with them—because I work from home—I think of what I am not doing with or for them. •Instead of enjoying free time I have, I feel guilty because time isn’t being used to pull in more income. And that’s when I realized I desperately need a change! When did I get like this? When did this shell of a person become me? How can I have a successful, growing home business, and feel as though I am not meeting some standard? And whose standard am I trying to meet anyway? Surely not one I set for myself when I decided to raise a family and have kids. If I remember correctly, I didn’t want to be a millionaire. I just wanted to make enough money and work a business that allowed me flexibility in watching my kids grow up. If you find yourself wound so tight you can't enjoy simple pleasures of life, it's time to take a look at your own life and make some drastic changes. Remember, we only have one life to live--live it well!
