What do you want out of life?

December 17, 2007 · Posted in About Us

Over the past week or so, I have been reading different blog sites looking for ideas on how to develop my own blog. The main question in my mind has been what topic to develop. I have a lot of ideas, but I don’t want the site to become too messy. I know that I could develop multiple blogs, but I think that a lot of topics are interrelated. After taking a look at Steve Pavlina’s website, I came to realize that I am interested in helping others develop themselves as a whole, and that this encompasses a number of different facets of life.

I specifically took a look at the article How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes. I realized that there are a couple of big things I want out of life:

1. I want to be a good mom and wife, and I do not want to compromise my quality time with my son.
2. I want to have a job with a purpose that helps other people directly in a way that may change them for the better. I would also like to be able to develop some of my hobbies into potential side-income opportunities.
3. I want to be financially independent – this will help with #1 and #2. When speaking of financial independence, my primary goal would be for both my husband and I to be able to work whatever job we like.

After some more thought, I realized that the first thing I want to do is develop the financial side of this blog. I have seen a lot of different financial blogs, and many of them have wonderful advice. I would really enjoy adding my perspective to the mix, and becoming part of the financial blogging community.
