My Wife and I Love Cruising.

Great Destinations

It wasn’t always that way,  

I had never been on a cruise of more than two hours in my life at all, if you can call a local ferry a cruise that is.  We went on our first cruise for 35 days in 2013 around the pacific and Hawaii.

I could never handle traveling even in small boats, the instability did not set well with my stomach.

Changing one’s thoughts.

Before the cruise I decided to change my attitude to how I felt about cruising, so I changed my whole beliefs about cruising.   By the time of the cruise, I walked on the ship feeling really great and looking forward to the weeks ahead.

 We were on the ship for five days before we got to our first stop and the weather was fine and calm great for me to get used to the ship.   The whole cruise worked out to be amazing.

What will encourage you.

We have had three cruises since then, but we are finding it a bit harder to finance the next one we want to do.   At this time of COVID19 another cruise may be awhile off.   This is one of my big wants for the future encouraging me to make the effort to build my own income online.

There are lots of things in our lives that will act as great encouragement to drive us to do more but for our family and Cruising has been a big one.

Yet we don’t have to look far back in time to remind us of the things gone bye. Things we could have gone ahead with if finances had not been a problem. House improvements, A more reliable car, one we could only afford at the time.

Personally. 
At this time my wife and I don’t have a home of our own and we are full time House sitters. We have been doing this for the last six and a half years.     We have over 90 sits behind us.

COVID 19.
What a change in this world at this time, So unexpected! Cruising has taken an extreme step backwards at this time.  Along with a tumultuous world fighting back from this virus.
We still have to look forward to where we are heading and where we want ourselves to end up.

We still have our dreams and some of our goals may have changed but the important thing is the direction you want to head in.   We still love cruising and in a couple of years we will I hope go cruising again.

What are your ambitions?

What are the things that will drive you to take the next step forward, to accomplish something that could get you the success.   That success that you may have been desperately seeking through many hard times.   Some things that would have been out of your financial reach in the past.

Decision time.

Now its time to step out and make decisions that will make all these things you have only dreamed about come to life.  With Wealthy Affiliate you have everything you need to make things happen for you and your future right at your fingertips

Do it for the family.

Family Benefits.

You are ultimately the one in charge of your own life, what you make of your life is up to you. Each step you take in life is a decision that you yourself make. Nobody else can make you move unless you allow them to.

It is ultimately your decision to either hold yourself back in life, or run ahead and accomplish all the wonderful, amazing opportunities that you want to accomplish in your life.

Your choices or theirs

Do you go with your own decisions or do you usually go with the crowd. I love walking and I find that you can discover many interesting places when you take the least worn path.

You may find new obstacles that you have to negotiate to be able to continue on the track, you may enjoy putting your body to the test and eventually you find your way to the end of the track.

The benefits you receive are knowing that you have succeeded and know that all the effort you had put into it was all worthwhile.

Go! Go! Go!. 

it is always very enjoyable to be there and watch the reaction of someone who has just passed the finish line of a race in first place, the exhilaration on show as they realize that all their effort has paid off.

Most likely we were not there when they were struggling up hill at one point in the race, when in their mind the obstacles of negative thought crept in and they were not feeling very positive about their position in the race at all at that time.

Where to start.

We all want to succeed as a family and that means financially as well, so the planning and goal setting are much the same, there is a starting line, and a finish line.

There are always obstacles that we have to negotiate around, or we may decide to go strait through like a bull at a gate.

It would be unrealistic to say that it is possible to find a race, a plan, or any sort of goal that has to be accomplished that have no obstacles between the start and finish line.
Obstacles could be competition, Not knowing the trail that you are competing on, your health, your shoes, we could go on and on, and on.

Encouragement.

Your Family can be a great incentive and encouragement to make something special happen like helping you to change your work circumstances or change your work completely.

You may be working long hours with little pay and want to try an online business working only two maybe three hours a day. I know what I would prefer.

A family unit has to rely on the breadwinner or breadwinners who are in some instances constantly maneuvering finances to help keep afloat.  They may be working four or five jobs between them, all short hours and with very minimal pay.

Even with these incomes they still fall short of their financial maintenance goals, they may have a very nice home which they bought through a large loan at very low rates which they could handle very easily at the time.
Now a few years later interest rates have gone up substantially and they are now paying much more than the monthly payments that they started the loan with.

Turning the grindstone.

Are we constantly going to stay in these situations and continue working ourselves to death and still not winning the battle.

We all enjoy our successes, even when you think they may be few.
