You might be wondering how I learned all this?

In my 20's, I was an outside sales rep for 6 years. I was the biggest bull ****ter there was. I would tell you anything you wanted to hear. I liked to brag about myself to others. Problem was, I didn't like myself for who I was.
I knew this was not that inner child I wanted to be. I decided to travel for a few years and got into some trouble with the law and ended up in the mountains at a friends house looking for a couch to crash on. My friend and girlfriend had 3 kids and a huge drug problem. I took care of her kids (not his)
like they were mine. I golfed for free almost everyday on my friends dime.
I sold everything I owned, but I was starting to feel happy. Strange!
Then one day my friend left his girlfriend and demanded that I leave with him.
We drove 10 miles deeper into the mountains to a hot chicks house we knew and my friend had the hots for. We were in the hot tub and things started getting a little strange. very strange. My friend is hitting on this chick while her boyfriend is there and her roomate who was 40 years older than her was there too. I found out later that the old man was doing her too.
My friend is oblivious to the tension he is causing and sends me out to his car for smokes. Instead of getting them, my heart was saying run. My ego had loyalty to my friend and all that he did for me. But my heart made me keep walking. I walked back to my adopted family and later moved out and got my own place. I found out the next day that 1 hour I left, the old man shot himself in the head right in front of everyone.
I later started dating my friends ex girlfriends best friend and we moved out of the area and made a new start where we are now. We are now happily married and have a wonderful child.

All of these events had a purpose.
I had no job when I started dating Vicki and she was on welfare with 2 kids
giving all her money to rent 2 bedrooms from a friend of hers. I then was approached by a hippie lady neighbor who I had gotten to know when I was taking care of the 3 kids. She offered me a job as a caregiver for a stroke victim. I was good at it and really help bring Jerry back to good health.
I can still remember the smile on his face when I took him on a train ride.
I moved in with Vicki and her 2 kids and after 2 weeks of living with her roomate house owner, I split. I found a trailer to live in for $275 a month and
a week later Vicki showed up with her 2 kids, her dog and all her stuff and pregnant with my Mary.
This trailer was the kind you put on the back of a pick-up. Tiny!!!!
After watching my new landlords go insane over drugs, We moved to Plumas county. I got a job at a golf course and we lived in a tent at a friends property. Vicki was miserable being 5 month pregnant and we even had 13 puppies in our tent 1 night. We couldn't find a place to rent and it was June.
My friend Grant's landlord kicked us out in 3 weeks. I then drove Vicki and the kids and dog and puppies back to Santa Cruz mountains and had her stay with her mom while I worked and looked for a place to live. I then lived in a tent 2 miles behind the golf course next to a creek for the rest of the summer. In September, I was driving around Portola and I noticed a small house for rent. I went up to the house and a man was painting the inside.
I enquired about the place and rented to me right there for the $900 i had in my pocket. No contract, just a hand shake. WE lived there for 6 years before we bought our own house $80,000 and then 5 more years we sold it for $125,000 profit. I didn't even have a job when I bought that house, I gave up on it because I didn't think I would qualify. Then I got a call from the owner a few weeks later and he said he would drop the price $10k more.
I had no credit at all and no job (seasonal). So I apply for a JCPenny card and a secured mastercard at my credit union. I apply for a home loan and the guy I was dealing with was a complete baffoon. GREAT I contacted
another lender and told him about my situation and he told me to get a business liscense ($60) and he can do a stated income loan. WHAT?
So I said I expected to make $24000 next year. I made $14000 the year before. The loan went through and in 1 month I landed an outside contract as Facilities Operations Manager at WhiteHawk Ranch Golf Courses CSD.
I just hit it off with the the guy doing the interview. They even paid for me to train as a pool technician. I did that for 4 years and then got under bidded by the Water District on site. I was so bummed, but I had just sold my house and bought a Cabin and had lots of extra money. The following year we moved to Susanville, just where we were meant to be.

I have had so much bad luck in my life it's ridicilus. But for every bad thing that happens to me some even better happens.
I know I have been put on this earth for greater things than money work and survival. Those are lifestyles of our ansestors, not for us highly intelligent
enlightened beings we are becoming.
You might here someone say "Reach for the Stars"
I say reach for your greater self.
To be Devine is to know oneself.
