Living Life Like It's Golden

[NiaX]

I don't know how I can say that I am living my life golden...

I was able to get a new job ( this is my 4th day!)
I was in a bad car wreck during Memoerial Day weekend. I say bad, b/c it looked bad, but I was able to walk away from it. Too bad it was in my rental car.
I was able to get a another car the next day after the wreck.
I should be able to finish school with the educational asstistance that my job offers.

So...I mos def say I am blessed....but golden, I dunno...

Still working on that one....

After some thought I think that I really do live life as if it was Golden. I truly believe that many people have been destined to do great things but because of a lack of faith only few have done great things.

I live my live like it's Golden by doing just this one thing, keeping "myself" out of the way of what God has planned for me. I make it a point to take chances, no matter how afraid I might be, by traveling the paths that God leads me down even it it doesn't make sense to the average person.


And that's as "Golden" as it gets for me!!

Hmmm I've been in a kinda slump lately because I'm not where I think I should be as far as my career is concerned. I'm also an emotional eater so I've gained a few pounds (less than 30) lately. So, I work out about 3 x a week, I take time for me and I'm working on getting myself financially stable. I am a writer at heart but I decided that I need money in order to do the things I want to do (travel, start my own publishing company, shop 'til I drop, etc) so now I'm thinking about changing careers. I am currently working on my Master's. So I guess I am living my life kinda silver right now, not golden. But I AM working on it.

Ok everyone. I got this idea from Jill Scott's song. How are you living your life like it's golden? What could you do to achieve that?

I need to go away and think myself....

I waited a while before I could respond to this thread. I decided, after my divorce, to put myself first. Over the years, I have put everyone else's needs before my own and as a result, I have not been happy. This summer, in addition to working, I spent some time enjoying my own company as well as spending time enjoying the company of people that I would not have spent time with otherwise.

I also made the decision to pull up stakes once again and move to another part of the country. I moved to Michigan from Mississippi about 6-7 years ago with no qualms. Now I'm about to head east (hopefully).

I guess turning 30 and seeing where I've been has really made me take stock of what I really want for my life. For the most part, I'm happy. I feel (increasingly) peaceful about myself and my life. I'm heading toward living my life like it's golden. It was golden anyway, but now it shines a little more.
