Alone But Not LonelyWritten by Denni Gill
In today’s fast paced society, we’ve become accustomed to filling eeriness of silence with fluff. We turn to many distractions as a means of escaping feelings of idleness or boredom. But main thing we wish to elude is loneliness. Solitude does not have to alienating or lonesome. In fact, solitude and loneliness are distinctly separate. The death of a loved one or inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling isolated. Webster’s dictionary plainly describes loneliness as “being without companions.” It’s natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance. Loneliness is therefore an emotive state that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone. It was Geoffrey F. Fisher who said, “In cities no one is quiet but many are lonely; in country, people are quiet but few are lonely.” We tend to fill loneliness with all types of distractions. For example, some single women would rather spend a Friday night with a man they have no genuine interest in, than spend night alone. They long for a way of killing time while they await man they are actually seeking. Then there are young adults who are involved in cliques where they can’t really relate to their companions. However, they would rather feel accepted on a superficial level than risk feeling outcast. So what is it about being alone that scares us?

Steps to Financial Freedom, roadmap to financial freedom, achieve financial freedom… Financial freedom seems to be current buzzword in world of self-improvement. This has spawned a new industry, and alongside it, some curious schemes and fantastic claims of how to achieve financial freedom in months.Financial freedom means different things to different people. For some, it means freedom to spend, as they want without going seeing red. For others, it means freedom to do whatever it is they really want to do without finances having to dictate what, how and when. Financial freedom encompasses both, and more... I have found that enduring financial freedom only comes about by discovering your talent and developing to mastery level. At this level, you skill commands resources effortlessly if you know how to market yourself, or get an agent to market you. You will not need to depend on questionable schemes to make you rich in months. You will get to top and remain there if you do not go to sleep. You can go distance because it is something you love. You make money while having fun. If you do not have a clue what your core talent is, and go about chasing money, you will jump from one scheme to another, pursuing a mirage. Even in event that you finally land something that makes you money, you will not last. For instance, if you are not salesperson material, and you join a network marketing organization, you are useless to network and to yourself. Some promise, "no selling/recruiting required". I wonder if money will drop from sky. If you do not know who you are or what your areas of core competence are, trying to make money online or offline is a waste of time, energy and resources. You may manage some here and there, but frustration will soon set in. If you are a fish, water is best place to be, and if you are a bird, take to sky. Do what you love.
