The Habitual Worrier

There are days when you have to step back, take a deep breath and say "Thank You". The human mind is a crazy instrument. It can deliver thoughts that send us into the heavens but, also make us feel like it's the end of the world. The last few days have been anxiously spent worrying about a situation that had a very simple solution. One phone call, follow up in a few days, problem solved. Why do we overreact? It's because we can't maintain a state of presence. Living the moment. Thinking rationally, realizing that there are no circumstances that aren't solvable. A complete waste of time, energy and productivity. Not to mention ruining a whole day! My overreaction taught me to keep a proper perception of all the things life throws at us, both good and bad. The next time I'm feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, the solution is STEP BACK, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND SAY (at the top of my lungs) "THANK YOU"...

When I originally started blogging, my intention was to have a private journal to capture my  feelings, opinions and general ramblings. The idea of publishing didn't enter my mind. But, as time went by, the excitement of writing posts and having people actually read my musings was something I wanted to try. Being fairly new to this, I would like to join the community of bloggers and participate in the forums, follow my favorite blogs and attract my own following. This is my invitation. If you enjoy what I have to offer, lighthearted advice about life, general observations and opinions, please join me, The Survivalist!
Your support is wholeheartedly appreciated. I'm a huge foodie,a fitness nut and greatly interested in the art of living a purpose-driven life.

The Struggle - Staying Positive

Man, It's really tough. The world's a mess. The economy sucks. And, my life is, well, in suspension. Emotions are "rollercoastering". Keeping a positive attitude can be a challenge. But, I have my ways. The first step is putting a smile on my face, sometimes having to force it. Next, take a very deep breath and realize the end of the world is nowhere in sight. I've been through more difficult situations before. Living on unemployment is something that gets to me. My pride is bruised because I've always been successfully employed and provided for myself. But, this is an opportunity to, not only, reinvent myself but also my life. My motivation is to never have a "normal" job again. I want to be the boss/owner of whatever venture is in my future. A strong belief that this is meant to be keeps me driving forward. Experimenting with different business models, to this point, hasn't produced any positive results. But, I refuse to give up. Internet marketing, MLM, and Affiliate marketing haven't worked so far. I'll find my niche but I'm living on borrowed time. Finances are very tight and I realistically have until the end of the year. That's the scary thing!
Tomorrow's another day. The sun will rise and I''l do my thing, hoping to stumble on something fantastic.
I KNOW IT'S OUT THERE. JUST HAVE TO FIND IT.............GOOD NIGHT!
