Ten O’Clock last night became 11:00 and I think I slept while driving home.  Work was easier for me today when I fired the narrator in my head who said I should be doing something else.  Since I have been self employed most of my life, it is most challenging to be accountable to someone else for every second of my shift.

Life says it is time to STOP. Stop the stress, stop the debt, stop the world from worry.  That stop begins with me.

Picture this,  you are driving and approach a busy intersection where you note the light is red.  You don’t stop……Bang, crash bang,  The cars who had the green light hit you,  The car in back of you hits you,  it quickly becomes a major pile up.  You are killed………done for gone from this planet.   People surrounding you are injured…..

Hello,  it is the same with debt, the desire to buy for others, the longing for a big house and stuff.  I influence the opinions and actions of others.  You influence the opinions and actions of others.  I am influenced by the actions of those who are close to  me  Like the car crash,  my choice, your choice becomes a factor in the outcome of those around us.

Broke?   What will you do?   What will I do? Perhaps I will  search for a job,  use all credit cards, accept all credit offers,  take money from friends, family, borrow from friends, family,  get angry and become a victim. I will be powerful and take whatever jobs that enable me to step up from the hole I am in and see freedom.  Stop means to stop digging  hole and start living in the moment.

You can be a victim or powerful.  You can’t be both.  I may choose to be a victim or be powerful.  I can’t be both.  Today, working a job I don’t like but appreciate having is allowing me to move toward the foundation for a house that will be affordable and paid for within 5 years!   Amazing!

Will your home be paid for in 5 years?
