I’ve been thinking about this blog and what I’d like it to grow to.
One day I think I have it figured out, the next day, I’m changing my mind. I know that eventually something will click and I’ll know what’s right for this space. But until then, I’m looking for inspiration.
What inspires you?
What gets your creativity buzzing?
What gets you energized?
What topic do you perk up with anytime you read about it, hear about, or talk about it?
That’s what I’m looking for. The problem is, I’m also an overthinker. And when my mind is noisy, there’s no room for me to hear, see, of feel those inspired flashes. I miss it. I hope you can be patient with me, as I try to sort through my thoughts. I really want this space to be meaningful, not only for you, but also for me. I would like this space to be worth visiting. I would like this space to be a resource. I would like this space to be a source of inspiration.
Until I can narrow things down, I will keep posting. This is serving as somewhat of a journal for me as I try to take steps on this journey. Where am I going? What is this journey? Well… my goal is to retire in 3-4 years from my day job. I’m ready for this next part of my life to be a little less stressful and separating from my day job will definitely do that.
I’m also very pragmatic and know that when I retire, our income will be greatly reduced. What’s been bugging me is how to make supplemental income for me and my family. This time right now and the 3-4 years I have is the perfect time to build a supplemental income. I have ideas and curious about a certain industry. But, I feel my self-sabotaging ways kicking in before I can even start. It’s a struggle and a pattern I’m trying to better recognize.
For me, right now. I feel like I’m forcing inspiration to come to me. I need inspiration to break away from my fear patterns. So… I’m trying new things. I’m stepping out of my box to get my creativity flowing. I’m trying new things to give me energy. I’m hoping the zap of energy will clear the noise so I can hear what Inspiration is saying.
Wish me luck!
I hope that with each future post, I can share progress. Or perhaps a more focused post. Something.
Don’t be surprised if I switch things up with this blog again. Trial and error. That’s where I’m at right now.
Thanks for being here. If you’re in a similar situation of trying to figure things out… hang in there and don’t feel like you have to take huge actions. Sometimes a little baby step is all it takes to make a difference.
