Living Large and other stuff

Money has never been a thing of high importance to me, whether I had any or not. It was just something I needed occasionally to buy stuff. The problem with money is you often have to do other things that you may not like in order to get it. I know there are some people that love working and the money is just a side benefit of that; but since I'm one of those folks that hasn't figured out what I want to be when I grow up, I have not found my passion job yet. I do know that one day I will need some money and that is my driving factor now. People tell me I'm good at this or that and that I should go into one thing or another and it would be a perfect fit...I just don't know what that perfect fit is. I think of the perfect occupation as being something that helps people, who want to be helped and appreciate life and respect others. Now, with that beings said I know that is not real life, but in my world, that is my hope. Right now I deliver mail, and I'm finding it challenging physically , mentally, and personally...due to many factors that are out of my control...so I'm trying to find a way to get control of those factors to make the job better and make it better for the next guy. so in summation, life isn't about the money to me...it's like playing golf; you're challenge isn't your opponent but the 6 inches between your ears...if I can grasp what my course will look like and how I will traverse it, then I will know how much money I will need, how much discomfort I can plan for, and what my remaining years will hold...with a few surprises along the way ...and thats my plan, at least the one I have for today...because in reality, it's all in God's hands anyway and I've learned that it can and probably will change at a moments notice....and that my friends is how I Live Large.
