The Journey

Okay... so wow! It's been over a year since I last wrote. Unbelievable... Well, I guess you could say there's been lots of changes, I'll go into that more later, and in a lot of ways everything is the same. I originally began this blog to not only motivate myself and others, but more so to focus myself on overcoming my financial woes. I figured if I bared myself to the world I'd somehow overcome all of this a lot faster. Boy was I wrong. I was going to give myself a year and with all the fierce  determination and soul digging I could muster, I'd conquer the world. Oh so not the case. In the time since I began this journey I have learned one valuable lesson. We will ALWAYS be on a quest to Tackle the Elephant. It's not a matter of fixing and overcoming, its a matter of rolling with the waves of life and being ready to face those curve balls that life throws at us. It is in fact a life journey and one that if we are fortunate, we will learn day by day how to live better financially and with wisdom that can only come from up above, to live a life of purpose free from the chains of materialism and the idea that money determines our success and status in life. Something that I've measured myself to for far too long.
Thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend I am refocusing my thoughts, goals, and purpose for this blog. I plan to share with you my current struggles, how I plan on attacking those issues, and hopefully to give you some encouragement and support for you to tackle those things in your own life that are keeping you from living comfortably, no matter what your income is.
I know that one of my biggest struggles at the moment is what I will call the Sick Cycle, a dizzying and frustrating carrousel that offers no enjoyment for anyone. I will write more about that tomorrow. For now, I would like to welcome back those who were with me in the start and invite whoever is interested to come along. It's going to be one hell of a ride but I am ready to once again pull up my sleeves, dig my heels in, get down to business.
Who's afraid of the elephant anyway?
