Life is very interesting; it gives opportunities for growth everywhere. While I was listening I heard a comment being passed on a person and the perception was that the person was chasing rainbows and wasting their time. ‘If only they would focus on this rather than chase, their life would be so much better’ was one comment expressed.
We are interesting creatures, why is it that some of us believe that we know what is better for someone else? Do we really know what keeps that person going? Do we really know their circumstances? Do we really know what they want? Can we just love them and allow them to be who they are?
I remembered a story that was told in my presence. The story related to a dog, this dog was running in and out of bushes, seemingly stupid behavior to anyone watching on the sideline. What the lookers on didn’t see was the rabbit the dog was chasing.
Are you chasing a rabbit?
Are you being told that what you are doing is wasting your time?
Are well intentioned people looking into your life and giving you their opinion on what would be in your best interest?
The important thing is, are you chasing a rabbit? Does it give you a zing; does it make you want to get out of bed in the morning? Does your rabbit give you a purpose?
What does your life feel for you?
To me it is fun chasing rabbits; it allows me the full gamut of experiences, the exhilaration of the chase, the annoyance when the rabbit gets the better of me, the regrouping, the learning experiences I can put into my wealth tank, the recalculating the chase path and going off again. This time with more knowledge, a better game plan, is it going to work this time, maybe yes maybe no, the fun is in the journey, in the chase, in the exhilaration, in the new experiences, in the knowledge that I can keep going and creating life’s experiences every day.
Financial Planning, life planning, is an exciting journey. Your life is a journey, every section studded with learning experiences, go and chase your rabbit, have fun with it, you never know you may be the sparkle that put a light into someone else’s life.
Have an interesting day and enjoy all your experiences.
