Are you living a comfortable life, caged life or maybe a charged one?

Have you ever said to a friend, that you have a great idea to write a book, and they’ve said you are crazy for even thinking you could. Well, like many folks im sure, this has happened to me. It took me a long time to realize that, hey, if you really put your mind to it, you can do it!

So, i started spending more time with people like myself who had ideas and going to do them with the greatest of confidence. I get excited when i see other people who are living their dreams, Doesn’t matter what it is…book writing, learning how to fly, or maybe even scale the CN tower…whatever their choice, they will do this with great confidence and will power. They want and are living the “charged life” of their choice.

Author Brendon Burchard’s novel tells of 3 different lifestyles people live; a comfortable lifestyle, a caged lifestyle or a changed lifestlye. The person living the charged life wonders if he is inspiring others and if he is really actualizing his potential. This book is a good rea

I am living a comfortable lifestyle currently, but do wish i had the courage and still the youth to live a charged one. Heck, i might even consider bungy-jumping!

Now, there is a charge! Brenda

Brenda, if you put your mind to it, a person (you) can do anything they set out to do!
I've found that out, and others have great respect for you for taking the initiative! Never forget it, and hope you succeed in whatever endeavors you tackle! :love:
 
There are times when I’m charged and other times when I am decompressing. I was in the military for 30 years, traveled a lot and being around a lot of younger men have been invited along to do things I never considered previously, like trying to go on a Zip Line. It was a lot of fun. I saw a thread here on this forum about hang-gliding. I used to think about trying and a friend suggested we go over to a place near us and take lessons. So, I agreed to go along next week and check it out.

That is what makes singing competition TV shows interesting to me. I'm not at all interested in music but I like to see people pursuing their passions.

For myself I think I just am interested in a comfortable life, but I've only been retired for a year and I'm still in stage 1 of retirement when life is like a vacation. Maybe I'll find a passion later on in retirement.

I read that the guy that made the first thesaurus published his at age 73. That is cool. Might be something super in our futures that we don't realize now that we'll do.
 
I have a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, because I moved to a cheap area. I still feel caged by poverty. I'm trying to build a satisfying life within my means, but I still have a way to go.

It's a shame when people put others' dreams down and say things like, "It'll never work." I once had lunch with a friend who had saved a bit of money and wanted to open a combination school/resort in a tropical country. I told him it was a wonderful idea. He said I was the first person who hadn't said discouraging things.
 
I am living a comfortable lifestyle. I do what want, when I want. I am not around anyone who tells me what to do or not to do. For my situation right now, self-care is my priority.
