I was thinking that starting a WordPress blog would give me a creative outlet besides YouTube. And do you know what? It has. It is. And it will be.
I have to started changing a lot about what I think, how I go about my day, and how I feel about other people.
Changing the way I think, maybe because I am older now, gives me more wisdom. Or maybe it’s because I can see people for who they really are. Have you ever just gotten a feeling about a person you just met? Good or bad? Doesn’t matter – just a feeling that comes from your gut. I want to call it intuition or just a knowing that comes from a place deep inside your soul.
Changing how I go about my day to day life is a little bit challenging right now because I have a 9 to 5 job. I’m no Dolly Parton but I feel stuck in that rut. I have to remind myself that I am there for the money because, as a writer, I can’t live off of air. My goal is to have enough subscribers here that will follow me and pay for a subscription or go to my YouTube channel and subscribe to help me to be monetized there. I have 3 1/2 years before I can retire so I am changing my day to day to reach those dreams.
Finally, as for how I feel about other people, I have always treated others as how I want to be treated. That is my golden rule. Do onto others as you want them to do upon you. But really, people are not perfect and I used to think that there were perfect people. I always thought that I was always in the wrong and I did everything backwards but now, I am finding others that think like I do. Others that like what I do, others that like what I write, and others that I consider to be part of my tribe.
Story Time – my son was friends with this girl who lived in a different state. She needed a place to live so he offered her a place to live. Long story short- this girl who was just as backwards as I felt, was smart as a whip but lacked common sense (I am honorable part of that class of people) came to stay with us for a short few months. She really helped me a lot with cooking and taking care of computer issues and it was nice to have another female in the house to have an intelligent conversation with. But there is one thing she told me- she told me I need to find my tribe. I hope that if you are still here and interested in what I have to say that I can consider you as part of my tribe. If so, would you give this little rant a like, a comment and checking out my YouTube channel to help make my monetization dreams come true.
