Message for Members -- Live Life to the Fullest

A wonderful mix of people here to say the least. I worked for others until one day, ( I was still in my twenty's ) my boss told me in a very strong accent that I was "rulen't" labor and I should work for myself, because I never would be able to work for someone else. I thought about that for the rest of the day and never went back, he was right.

That was many years ago and I found that, that was the path for me. There have been times that I have worked for someone else and then went to my own Place of work and worked until midnight to get things done.
Doing this produced the money to feed my family and do the things I wanted to do, the ex-racers here understand this very well. ( I am one of those ) It also allowed me to take the best parts of winter to cross country snow mobile, myself and a few others would log in an average of 3500 miles on our sleds per winter, and to be honest some of that time was stuck down in some canyon in waist deep snow trying to dig ourselves out of some creek bed while burning up $100+ belts along the way.

Only you can decide how your life will be spent, yes life is very short, turn off the TV and go live it!
 
Great article. After losing my cousin and closest friend a year and a half ago I have been thinking really hard about how to navigate the time I have left, I’m 56. This article touches on everything that’s been on my mind lately. Good read.

We had been talking about retirement and the years we had left, then I got the call he was gone. It happens unexpectedly without warning…….

At my last place of full time employment, where overtime was the norm, we had a saying, "The company will buy your life if you let them". For whatever reason, saw many who did just that.
