I used to live a tied up life back in the states with my local dealer and sizable sprawling house in the city.
I was consistently answering phone calls and toiling on the house and had no free time to relax and appreciate life.
I finally decided that this lifestyle wasn’t for myself and others so I shut down my Heating as well as Air Conditioning dealer and got rid of all of my debts and then moved overseas. My life is much slower now and I have more time for fantastic and just having fun. The older I get the more I realize that playing and having fun is the key to a great life. Yes, there are obligations and jobs to do but you should save time for doing fun things. I work for a local dealer a few nights a month doing furnace and AC repairs but after that I spend the rest of the afternoon looking for fun things I enjoy and fun people to hang out with. There is always someone out there who is looking to play sports or maybe play music with me. I do a/c replacements while in the month in the Summer and work on gas furnaces and fireplaces in the Wintertide for about 20 hours a week. I also teach some volleyball and yoga to clients and spend a lot of time reading and writing. My life is a lot weird than it was in the states when I spent most of my time toiling at my local business. I’ve l earned a lot over the years and have l earned that freedom is key to happiness.
