Rants and Raves - What's going on!

Hi - folks,
This is a 'rave' rather than a rant. Sitting at home with my family in and out of the house, its a sunny and warm day. I've seen the F1 qualifying at 7am and have worked through the night. I was going to bed at 3am but got lost in my work and then time fast-forwarded to 6am in the blink of an eye.

I'm still sat watching TV and working, but I am well-pleased with myself. I know I did over-do the work ethic yesterday and last-night.

Well, in fact, I over did the work ethic for most of this week actually! I've been helping a friend and client get his website and blog up and running, as well as looking after all my own stuff too. I work from home and its great! I can watch TV whilst I work, knock-off whenever I want to go out for a meal with my wife, (or take her shopping).

You can become as you choose to be.

I can choose how and what and when to work, when to take a break, how long that break is and choose not to work this-day, at my leisure. It's a far cry from the heavy welding work I last did, working 12 hour shifts and a two-hour round trip to get to work.

Being black as a coal-miner and taking an hour to get clean, but being so tired, that I often didn't bother with more than a good wash, then get my food and fall asleep, six and seven days a week!

Now I sit, clean and warm, well fed and exercised, happy and content that I am my own boss. I have the time to be with my wife and children on their schedule.

Now I realise that this is getting long, I don't want to keep you too long and I want to get back to earning money. I'm just so happy that I have found 'The Secret' and I wanted to share this with you.

It has been a two week existence of bed at 3am or 5am, (my own choice), and sleeping till taking the kids to school at 8.30am. Working on my own motivational stuff, exercise and meditation, then rest and relaxation through the day, with an hours siesta at mid-day.

I do a bit more work in the afternoon before picking the kids up from school 15.15 to 16.00 hrs, then xbox games and time with the boys, evenings manning Dad's Taxi Service, to and fro - Army Cadet's, Cinema, Shopping, Scouts, then back home and car away by 21.30hrs. Then I continue to work after the kids have gone to bed..

I'm not complaining - I'm happy!
I've been paid well for my time and I get an ongoing management fee, as well as a vocal point for my own ads as and when I please. It's a great business deal for me!

So, I'm having this little 'rave' here about how good my life is right now. It seems people are always going on about their problems, but I've tuned most, if not all of those 'bad vibes' out of my life now.

For those who know me personally, will appreciate that I have had a lot of adversity in my life in past times. For the last four years however, I have managed to make big changes in my life. I tell you this, not to gloat or be big-headed, after-all, you can leave now if you want, the door is over there and no-one is holding onto you!

I tell you this, because I hope that you will take a leaf out of my book! If you do, (by the way, this blog is my version of 'My Book'), you will become more relaxed and at ease with your life. Not because you can let things go, (but that is part of it), but because you will have a master plan that you are working toward.

This 'Master-Plan', will bring you peace, in knowing you are on the road to success! It will bring you calm, when things go to the wall occasionally, (as they do for everyone), because you know you have the time, patience, money, energy, strength, and dedication and will-power to get through it!

Most of all, you will gain respect for yourself that no-one can take from you.
You can become as you choose to be.
It is just your 'own-realisation' of 'that-fact'- that is holding you back from everything that you can be and all that you can have in your life, to fulfil your desires and live the life of your dreams.

So - how do I, (because my life is a work in progress), not 'how did I', achieve this point of euphoric-level of living. Well, hey, first I must point out that I have not 'made it' yet, because I have a lot of things still to achieve in my life and I am forever coming-up with more exciting ideas as I move forward with my life.

The Secret - is The Secret.. - Oh, you're thinking I'm one of those 'wind-up merchants', aren't you? No- well I'm trying to tell you, to-what I owe my life success!

I have 'A Secret', it really is 'A Secret', but I can show you 'The Secret', if you are willing to listen and learn and have belief in yourself!

Notice..That I did not say - have belief in 'The Secret' - or 'the system' or whatever it may be! The reason for this is that I know it works, I am living proof!

Also there are many thousands of people who have gone before you, from all walks of life, that have had much success already that they can definitely say, it is due to 'The Secret' and their application of it. And, there is the pivotal part of it! How you apply what YOU learn.

And, this is why I say and reiterate; if you are willing to listen and learn and have belief in yourself! It is down to your own application of 'The Secret', that once you know and understand it AND start to put it into action, that you can have everything your heart desires. (And perhaps you don't believe me)?

Well, again I have sourced an avenue for you, to try 'The Secret', for yourself and if you don't agree that this will help you achieve all that you desire to be and have, then you can simply return 'The Secret' and go back to whatever other plan you have for achieving your plans, goals and dreams in your life!

I cannot believe that you will find any better offer than that in the world!

My Feb 26 Rant!

Hi, Well I know I've posted twice today, but..

Here's the thing, I have been ill again, that prompted me to recall a funny story I have to tell you, (see the previous post).

Rants and Raves - I did warn you!

Well, my rant is about people who refuse to look after themselves. That alone makes my blood boil, especially when they start complaining about being ill or overweight, tired all the time or just under the weather!

Look at me, I'm approaching 46 and I actually never develop a cold or develop an illness myself.. I know, I know.. I'm ill... But, annoyingly, like last year (Dec 08 through to end of April 08 ) I was ill similarly, because other people nurse their cold and barking cough to plague level then come 'round to visit.

I've told everyone I know and my eldest kids (22 & 23) not to come and visit if they are ill, because I don't want to catch it. To me it is only common courtesy. I will always cover my mouth when coughing or sneezing. But, you know... people are so uncaring and idiotic...

I have had asthma & bronchitis all my life, it never stops me from doing anything I want to do. Positive mindset and all that! I do wrap-up warm when I need to, but under day to day living I always make sure I'm wearing the same level of clothing insulation on a daily basis.

When I'm home I'll strip to my 'T-shirt' indoors, jumper if it's cold. But I always make sure I've got my Thermal 'Benny Hat' as I call it - and my jacket / leather or fleece on when I'm going out. Even if I'm just going out to put the dust-bin out!

I don't care what the experts and doctors say - 'They say' - you cannot catch a cold or develop a cold, head cold or chest cold, by just being cold for a few minutes (or hours)..

Well, I'm sure they have that wrong, (or maybe I have misunderstood, perhaps they mean catch the Flu, or whatever). All I know is, if I find myself outside without my hat, in the cold, especially if there is a cold or icy wind blowing,, BANG. I catch or develop a head cold.

I get the head-aches and the thumping throbbing pain and runny nose - HOW CAN THAT BE A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION? They say... "Its all in the mind" WELL, THE COLD IS - are they trying to be funny or something, because I don't get the joke!

The other day my daughter visited, she had been walking her dog (30 minutes walk away) and had not intended to come out as far as she did. Wearing only a thin jacket and T-shirt with a naked waist-line, jeans and trainers with no-socks.. When I realised she was sat talking to her mum (my wife Michelle), in the kitchen, I looked in on them..

I had heard her voice, but also the incessant sore-throat tone and coughing and sniffing sound she was making.. LET ME TELL YOU.. You cannot challenge these types of people who have this mentality. -But me being me and 'they' being 'my daughter' and being 'IN MY HOUSE', I rise to the challenge of putting my point across and kicking them out!

Am I being unfair? Am I being RUDE? Am I not a nice person for speaking out as I do?

Well, I think I am justified. She, 'my daughter', had been in the kitchen about half-an-hour before I realised she was there.. She'd been filling my kitchen with smoke from her cigarette, I actually only noticed it when I felt my chest tightening (asthma), from the smell of her smoke, (I was in the living room)!

My point is, if I can smell and breathe in her smoke from the kitchen and indeed smell it all over the house, once I had come out of my work trance, (I'll explain in a later post ' work-trance' but suppose you know what I mean if I just say engrossed in my work). I must surely have been breathing in all her cold and sore-throat germs too. I had inadvertently been breathing it in all that time without really realising it!

Well, today I'm ill. I woke this morning with a sore-throat that I cannot even swallow with, without the aid of water or honey! - My head is banging, my chest is heaving and I won't even tell you what else as you can imagine what I'm coughing up...

OK - So its all in my mind is it? I did this to my-self, its my own fault. LOOK, my throat was prickling up even before I sort of realised my daughter was in the house, I was not thinking of illness nor sore-throats. My mind was away with the fairies on whatever I was working on!

I do agree the mind is a powerful tool, that is the only reason I am able to be sat here typing this now. I'm going off to do some exercise after writing this. One of my self-talk statements is - .

You have to think well, when you're ill!

Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest, after all you're the only-one here for me to talk to! Grumpy old man kicks daughter out of house!

Hi I'm Andy Gold

Hello. This is my new blog.

*I needed a place just to get my rants and raves down, this should fit the bill, without - err... The Bill..

*Great, it's free! - I love to meet new people, find out what you are doing and exchange ideas for making money and spending money. That's a cue for my first rant...

Rant#1 (No rank - just what's getting to me today)!
Although I enjoy making money online, its not the be all and end all of everything for me.

I hate to see those flashy money makers, splashing money out on flash expensive cars and massive houses, when there are people going hungry in the world.

Like a friend of mine who drives a car costing nearly £100,000 UK GBP! Some people don't spend that on a house! Yet he's afraid to park anywhere in it, like shopping centre car parks, city centre or even in the road / lane where he lives. Decadence and stupidity seem to be fine bed-fellows in my opinion.

Hey.. That's all this is, "my opinion". I just want to know if you agree! Comment on this post, maybe we could chat sometime. Request a Skype with me! (I don't just like to bleat my skype all over the net, so I won't just post it here, there and everywhere). I'll put a post later for you to contact me privately - (maybe).. Look through this blog.

So this pal-o-mine, he knows how I feel about it, especially as I remind him of it each time he comes to see me. My driveway is about the safest place he can ever leave his car, out of all the places he needs to visit. Result = When ever he needs to go into the city, he calls for a taxi. Airport, - even though he could pay for executive parking - with valet service, still he uses taxis.

Literally everywhere he goes, he travels in a taxi - So, (especially for a petrol head, who loves cars), what's the point in owning it? Also - he owns a small city - car, but guess what! His other problem is IMAGE! - He claims he doesn't like to be seen in it, it's just for the wife!

What's the point??? I earn a great income, making money online as an Internet marketer. I like to drive a reasonably priced car, that suits my family needs. Yet, people have come to believe that just because you can show them how to make money online, that means that you must automatically own a flash car that costs enough to feed a third world country for a month!

Now, I don't want to stretch the point, you know what I'm talking about, but that philosophy runs throughout most everything I do. But then that is what and who I am, I'm not saying everybody else should be like me. Its that I just don't get it!

I like to save money where-ever possible, I'm not a skin-flint or anything, I just don't understand why some people feel the need to over-do everything. Like, (a small rant), Why some people have to put masses of Christmas lights all over their house? Doh?

What's that all about? To me it just says, 'Look at me, I'm a decadent idiot, who cares nothing for the planet, (carbon footprint and all that stuff ), my neighbours, (who'd want to live next to that type of eye-sore each year), or what other people think of them!

Worst still, (even though I wouldn't want to rob anyone of their so called Christmas spirit), is when these Christmas-light-a-holics are on social benefits! Their electric bills being paid by taxes, paid by government hand-outs. How can they justify the expense!

I've been there myself, so I'm not just talking off the top of my head. A few years ago I had nothing, until I discovered Internet marketing. Back then, it was a case of make-ends-meet or go hungry.

I started my business, scrimping and scraping. I could simply justify having only lights on the Christmas tree, and trimmings, spending whatever we could on the few presents we had saved for, or bought though out the year. Mostly, any extra money was spent on food so that we could have a larger get-together family meal for the festive occasion. That's what its really all about!

FINAL THOUGHTS FOR TODAY!
If you are contemplating burying your house in Christmas lights, instead... Why not ask in the street if anyone who is not putting up lights, would like you to put one of your sets- up in their garden / roof / window.. They pay the bill, their house looks nice, the whole street looks better AND MORE EVENLY LAID OUT, (you know what I'm talking about), and furthermore, your neighbour relations will improve! (Otherwise, - just leave the things in the box - in the loft)!

Sell your stupidly expensive car, especially if it costs more than £30k GBP or $30k USD, buy a cheaper and probably more economic car and if you can't think of anything else to spend the savings on, give the money to a hospital charity for children / orphanage or medical research.

All the best - I mean it....
