Truant uses the same example in one of his blog entries. It’s a great post that points out the fact that money is not what people want. People don’t want the money itself and the things money can buy don’t really make anyone happy. At least if people are being honest and true to themselves. People have asked me why I want to make the million dollars [...] [...] Johnny B. Truant uses the same example in one of his blog entries.

I've never been more miserable and stressed when chasing money, and more fulfilled and chilled out when I'm chasing the things I just enjoy. From work to play to the people I spend time with. You only have one shot. True true true.

Kim, "The Wordpress Chick" mentioned that your blog is one that she keeps up with (or not), so, I figured that I'd take a peek. Really glad that I did. I tend to be a bit "tongue-in-cheek" myself generally. With the saying, "Life is too serious" in my hip pocket and the finger for those who blow me shit about it, I'm happy to see that it looks like you've got some solid advice to give. Granted, its not for the faint of heart (language, not content. Well, maybe some content too.). From what I've read so far, the only thing that seems to be missing is THE CALL to action. That action being : Stop right now, right where you are, and really LOOK at where you are in your present situation and compare that to: 1: What you've been doing that got you here in the first place. 2: Is "THIS" where you believed you were headed? 3: Is this what you "WANTED" in the first place? 4: Were you "CLEAR' enough to "YOURSELF" about what you wanted or too vague? Blog posts like yours also make me wonder what everybody is being taught anymore. Movies like "The Secret" and so on, only half answered how things possibly work in our reality, but it seems that if it's promoted by Oprah, it's gotta be Gospel. QUICK, let's go get some!!! Bottom line: If where you're at ain't where you wanna be, change your mind - change your life. Nuff Said Just for ha-ha's, when it's finished, I'm going to send you a copy of my new book, "The Human Mind - An Owners Manual". Hell, somebody had to write the thing and I wasn't involved in anything too pressing at the time, so... First time here.
