"  Many can argue that reality is as it is, but my experience is that the opposite is exactly true. Reality is ours for the making.”

One of the good things about my bus driving job is that the pay is not anything to brag about.

In fact,to earn enough to live my lifestyle I would have to drive about 100 hours a week.

So how is this a good thing?

Let me explain.

If the monies derived from driving the bus were enough to support me in the fashion I want to be supported in, I would be content to be a bus driver,

The income generated from that type of job would instill a false sense of contentment in me.

I would convince myself that this was a viable means to achieving a fulfilling life.

I would be blissfully happy knowing that I could now provide for myself and my family by driving a bus.

That's just not who I am or what I am made of.

Don't get me wrong.

There is nothing wrong with driving a bus,or with any honest work for that matter.

Since acquiring this job, I can now pay my bills.

I have income on a regular basis.

I can breath a lot more easily than in the past.

What I can't afford to do is sit back and become complacent.

Missing a few hours or God forbid a few days, of work would put a serious strain on the budget again.

This is why my less than attractive pay rate is a good thing.

It keeps me hungry.

It helps me to keep my eyes open for new opportunities.

It allows me to ask myself on a daily basis,"how can I make things better?".

Lately, I have not had any new opportunities cross my plate.

The good news is that with the paycheck from driving, I am not desperate to try and figure out how to pay my bills.

I drive ,get paid and then have enough free time to explore ,create and cultivate.

I can continue farming.

I have time to plow,plant and tend to the next field.

All I need is some dirt,some seed,some water and some sunshine

Then like that farmer,I can be outstanding in my field!
