Hi Chris and Susan here...
"For all the most important things, the timing always sucks..."
Boy does that resonate with us as we think back to that moment in 2008 when all our dreams and goals for our retirement came crashing down
We'd invested all our savings into a world wide property portfolio so that when the time came to retire we could live off the passive income we would be receiving from renting them out...
They were in the French Alps (a ski chalet), Spain (luxury apartment on the Costa del Sol) and Florida (a top floor condominium apartment at the West Gate of Disney) and an apartment in London with great rental returns
It was a turning point for us albeit we didn't pull our heads out of the sand until late 2009
But we share that story today because we were reading a very poignant email from the CMO of a program we promote as affiliates and from which that quote actually comes
It's called Someday and it's from a book you are probably familiar with - The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss
“For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are
just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.”
Although a bit outdated today, over a decade ago it was considered to be the mini-bible on the online space and it shifted how we all thought about life work, passion, hobbies and relationships
For us it definitely hit the spot as you'll find out
And it might just be what you need to hear right now
Enjoy the rest of your weekend - we're celebrating a rather special week with the birth of our grand daughter and to find out her Mum and Dad got engaged yesterday
That definitely puts timing into perspective doesn't it!
