Working Too Many Hours
Sometimes I wonder why we are not farther ahead financially. We are working too many hours and yet do not have the rewards to show for all the time two people spend working. It is getting to be time to sit down and figure out a more effective way to utilize our time. Sometimes it is difficult to see far enough ahead when you are struggling to meet expenses.
It is sort of like the guy I was telling you about yesterday. We are so deep into our own situation we do not see the obvious answers that are right in front of our face. Again, “You cannot see for forest for the trees”. Answers are all around us, but we look beyond them for answers and do not see those excellent ones staring us in the face.
This is apparently common all over. People have opportunities and they cannot see them. Not all are financial. Some are opportunities to spend some time in the park or at the lake. We are too busy or too focused on other things to see the potential around us. Potential that is in easy grasp.
An answer that would improve my life or your life is available right now, today. We really need to look harder to see what that answer is. This is my dilemma of the day. I need a better answer than the one I have. Maybe it need to ask a better question to get a better answer. I do not know the question. Maybe instead of, “How can I pay the bills”, I should be asking, “How can I help others pay their bills”. I do not know.
