They say that money can’t buy happiness, I usually reply with, I’d sure like to try. I’m sure that percentage wise I’m one of the wealthier people in the world. However, I don’t even live paycheck to paycheck because I’m self-employed. I aways have enough for my monthly expenses but there is still that dread that hangs over me constantly. I wonder, what will I do if this falls apart? I think to a point the stress makes my fibromyalgia worse, but it’s better than other jobs. The stress is manageable, but it would be so much nicer to not have to worry about it. In a way the lack of security is the only thing that I don’t like about my life. Well that, & the fact that I’m not married to Matt Damon, but I’ve learned to accept that.

I’ve always been into self improvement. Especially since fibromyalgia is such a disadvantage, I feel like I have to be my best self in order to make it in the world. Sometimes, especially this week, I wonder if I really have what it takes to make it in this business. I was just at a site called “Live in the two”, which advocates living in the top two percent of Americans. I took a personality test & learned a lot about self improvement. The thing that I liked about this test was the fact that it didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear, it gave me things that I need to work on such as risk taking & optimism. I’m still trying to figure out what it would take for me to get in the top 2%. It’s not that I think that money can buy happiness, but I do think it can provide security & peace of mind.
