Day 74 Season 2:)

[Zara]

This morning my partner let me have a lie-in and he woke me up with a lovely fry up! Hopefully this will be my last fry up for a while as I want to start being healthy and cut down on fatty foods so I can lose weight.

I had a driving lesson about midday which wasn't bad. I started having second thoughts about my instructor as he shouts at me sometimes but I thought about the LoA and tried not to focus on it. He didn't shout as much today but I did make quite a few mistakes but my partner said I should learn from the mistakes rather than get upset by it. I just need to practise more at least I'm not scared anymore.

The rest of the day was quite a lazy day but nice as I spent time with my partner and kids.

This is what I did towards my boundless living challenge:

I am working towards my new career as a jewellery designer.

Yesterday I received my clasps for the chains I ordered from etsy.com. Tonight I made a necklace to match the anchor earrings I made. I haven't quite finished so I plan to finish it tomorrow.

I have a millionaire mindset!

I have been reading my book "Secrets of the millionaire mind" everyday and it has made me really think about my life and what I want. It says in the book that you should be willing to commit to being rich which means working all hours, 7 days a week, sacrificing time with family etc. This may sound lazy but I'm not sure if I'm willing to do that! Mainly because quality time with my family is so important to me. My kids are young and I am not willing to miss out on their childhood for money. I've been a bit confused these last couple of days of what I want and what I'm willing to do it get it. I've decided not to give up and carry on reading my book as I am learning so much.

Hey Zara,
I definately do not blame you for wanting to give up time with your children to make a few extra dollars. I too believe family is more important than money, because at the end of the day a 20$ bill cannot hug you and tell you it loves you like how your children and partner can. Don't forget that the book is only a suggestion and what worked for the author will not necessarily be the correct path for you. You are a millionaire already, you just need to find the money!! ;) Take care Zara
P.S. When you find the money can you tell me where because I too seemed to have misplaced my couple million!

good for you on planning to get healthy - though you don't have to give up on the fry-up - just dont fry it! bacon is alright - surprisingly.

I know what you mean about thinking what it is necessary to sacrifice. I am sure you'll do what is right for you and your family.
