Insanity!

I'm at an age when the reality of life is facing me every day. It seems like every time I turn around a new person in my life is dealing with really hard times. From financial, to personal, to relationships. We are all in a very hard time in this country and I have come to realize that you grow in these times or you end up defeated. If you fail, learn and grow you have not been defeated.

Looking at my personal life I have had my share of financial issues from credit card debt, to home foreclosure. Those were some nasty punches but, instead of complaining and pointing the finger at somebody else I have taken responsibility for my actions and learned from them. I'm renting a home I can afford instead of buying a home I can not. I'm no longer in a job that makes me feel stuck because of how much I make. I make less than I did before but I love what I do. I'm still dealing with some CC debt but I'm paying it off and not adding to it.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

This is one of my favorite quotes and it is one to live your life by. Don't wait for the change in your life, be the change in your life.
