You know I just realised that I’ve become the sort of person I used to be jealous of. Its sort of crept up on me - an evolution - not an overnight thing. 

I’d finished packing my bag for our trip to Barcelona tomorrow and making the last few arrangements for my trip to New Jersey later in the month. 

So I was just looking around our new home, remembering moving in, what the place looks like now compared to then -  2 years of hard work later

Then I went outside to our substantial garden with its big deck area and the little paths and sitting areas we’ve built.

I noticed the apples turning red on the tree, all the flowers my partner has planted, the bench I made from our old bed 

Our two cats came over for a nuzzle. 

I took in the sea in front and the forests behind

I took a moment to feel grateful the happiness we have: The lack of money worries, stress, and just general quality of life. 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not been plain sailing and we still have the usual hassles everyone has in life.

But they just don’t get us down like they used to - we just deal with them and don’t let them burst our bubble. 

I used to think somewhere in my mind that I didn’t deserve this or couldn’t have it 

I used to look at people living lives I envied and wonder “What do they do?” “How did they get this?” 

Now I know.

It’s not through old fashioned hard work. It’s not by exchanging all your time for money leaving no time to enjoy it.

It’s through leverage - systems, technology, education …..

And anyone can have it - EVERYONE deserves it.

This is the big picture my friends, mentors and business partners at SFM and DEA are painting. 

Helping people to transition into the lives they really want to live and having the time to appreciate it.
