A Time for Everything

There are times in our lives to do many things. There is a time to sit and hide; also, a time to run free in the fields. You will find time to rejoice with abandonment, and there is a time to work hard and quietly, rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Now is the time for the latter.

There are things that we can safely do and things that could put us at risk. We need to work from the point of safety out rather than working from risk inward. Working this way is easy to do. Start with yourself. Diet, exercise, and making your home more livable and friendly. These are good Starting points.

Now is the time to change the room, if that is what you need, or make your workspace better in a home environment. You do not have to spend much to make your living arrangements better. And what you do need, you do not have to go out to a store for, a trip to the Internet will have the store bring it to you.

As you start to work, you will find your mood improved. I know mine did as I worked on a recent project. I did end up putting the room together and pulling it back apart about three or four times until I got it the way that I wanted it. Once I had it there, everything worked out well. And there are still finishing touches and final cleanup to accomplish on it. I also need to clean all the other rooms I disturbed while working on that project.  Doing this gave me a real sense of positive work and accomplishment.

I do have many items I need to send to goodwill. The cost of redoing the room in a significant makeover turned out to be roughly $110. The price stayed low because I was able to make some DIY purchases and crafted everything myself. I believe this will be an excellent multimedia art studio, and I cannot wait to start my first projects in it.

Thank you for being with me today. I hope to be with you again tomorrow.

He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
