JJ!
Wow, so glad to hear you’re still around! After you stopped writing for a few months I was seriously wondering what happened to you:(

I hope you recover 100% and after your whole experience you more than any of us will realise how fragile life really is.

Make the most of life and I hope you still have many happy and healthy years left:)

Al the best

Hey Diggy, Your post really hit home in many ways, I am back to blogging after being away for awhile because of a recent near death experience. You said in life we have 2 choices the right way and the wrong way after coming out of the hospital I realized that I had to take time off from blogging for several reasons but then I was nervous with the feeling that if I didn’t start right back into posting I would lose all that I had worked so hard for to achieve. I also new that I had to take the time off for my health reasons but in the end I realized that I took the delayed gratification way …I think. And am all the better for it, as you mentioned we have to put maybe years into work or whatever our goal is to see our satisfaction so even if I had started right in posting I would be no better off especially for my health. Thanks for making us think Diggy good job as usual. jj

Hey Veronda!
Welcome! Nice to see you here!

Mmm, so you’re a slave to doing things the right way are you? I wouldn’t say that is a bad thing, at least most things you do will not come back to bite you in the butt later:)

Until next time!
Keep well!

Man, I can never get the quick fix or way out of anything… only the hard way for me; choice or not.

Stephen!

Yes, now that you mention it, there is of course the other extreme like you say, the ones always suffering now to be happy later. Happiness in right now:)

Keep well sir!

Diggy, this is so true. There is no free lunch, you have to pay a price for everything, etc. However, the other extreme to wanting a free lunch is to always be working towards the future, always suffering now for a better tomorrow. There are plenty of people who do that too and it’s just as bad. It’s all about balancing the short-term and the long-term. Thanks for the stimulating thoughts!

[...] There are so many people I want to thank that I’ve resorted to linking to their latest blog posts in this sentence; in fact, I even extended it to fit a few more in. It’s not just bloggers I want to thank though, it’s everyone. Everyone who is subscribed to the feed, everyone who has ever left a comment (good or bad) and anyone I’ve connected with in the past year. [...]

No I mean that in the middle of your journey you will enjoy mediocre results that will give you courage and rewards. For example if your goal is to make 40k/month, there will be a time when you’ll make 5k and 10k. That will give you the courage and opportunity to continue. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Oscar!

You mean that the reward will not be as great as you had expected it to be? And that after years of work and effort when you finnally get your reward you think to yourself

“this is it? all this work and this is what i get?” ?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi John!

Yes, so sad but so true, there are of course other ways to make money, but lots of people take advantage of the quick-fix seekers by selling them what they want to buy, only it does not give results.

Thanks for stopping by!
