Maintaining

I am 48 years old and for the first time in my life I feel a completeness. I have no doubts. I know what I can and cannot do for the most part. I have learned certain aspects of my personality and I have no fear.

Food once controlled my every thought. Now, I sometimes go 12 hours and haven't eaten. Although still overweight, I have weighed the same amount for over 6 years. Yes, I'm maintaining.

I have virtually no debt and have no desire for credit. Unlike my days of old, I no longer fill out credit applications, then get angry when I'm denied. I deny them.

I went to the bank the other day and actually had a little money in there, three days before payday. I'm maintaining.

I will tell you this; it doesn't matter at what age this sense of completeness comes into your life. I would most definitely say, the earlier the better for you, but it really doesn't matter because all we have is the present at any given period, or season of our lives. Feeling like this makes me think I can do anything I want. That is a great feeling to say the least.

Add along with that feeling the street savvy, the business skills, and the ability I have to understand human nature, I am doing it ya'll. I am living.
