What did you learn/relearn recently?

Wow, sitting here thinking about successful people and how they got there. How did they get there? Hard work? I'm guessing a chunk of money always helps with start ups. I was just chatting with someone who is buying properties with other people, finding management companies to run them. Its a few of them going into it. He used his 401k. Scary maybe? I try to think of self sustaining ideas all of the time. It makes sense that if something works to continue and try something else. I watch a lot of people starting recovery centers. There is also experience in something. I don't think I started and stayed with anything long enough to really have experience in it. I'm at my longest job and the best thing about it is that I have been here long enough to build a little money in my 401k. Not enough! I think of all the jobs of people I know. I know nurses, therapists, real estate agents, hair dressers, dog groomers, HVAC, plumbers (I know the plumber that works in the White House) who would have thought.; Accountants, people who lay carpet and flooring, clean houses, farmers. They seem content. I am not content. I just think and ponder about the world and the people living in it. Wondering if they are satisfied and content. I know people who have started their companies just doing what they knew and it took off. It takes hustle and commitment for sure. Its all very impressive to me.

I started school and I'm taking night classes. It keeps me very busy. I am taking an ADT Certification Course. Why or what for? Why not? I want to give something else a shot I think. I've been consistent with my recovery for many years. I thought maybe this would come natural. I'm not sure if it will. Its making me open my mind. I'm hoping for success.

Success for me these days just looks like being happy and comfortable in my life. I'm working on that success.
