Personally I feel Contentment is Priceless and perhaps even settling for less to achieve Contentment can be the right choice. Maybe that revelation has more Clarity to me at this Winter Season of Life. Now that I'm Retired from my Corporate Lives where I attained every Goal set, I realized that often the view from the top of the Mountain, though it had its merits, wasn't always 'All That' and did come at a 'Cost'. Sometimes one is no longer willing to pay that Cost anymore... and I am much more Content now that when I had more Titles and Career accolades and accomplishments. Just having Contentment and Joy to do what I'm most Passionate about and to spend more Time with Family and Friends trumps any amount of financial gain that the Corporate World had to offer. I Hope you find a Peace with your decision about this... and a healthy Balance.<br /><br />Blessings... Dawn...

Yes, also I am "more concerned with the inner world of the mind", like you said in your profile. And I am happy to find someone who can understand this like you: I like when in one of your posts you said "Introverts of the world, this is no longer an extroverted world!". And the strange thing is that is the web that enabled us to understand this and find that we are not the only ones...<br />I found many beautiful artworks and many meaningful words on your pages, I will visit you often!<br />Ciao dall'Italia!<br />CristinaCristina Dalla Valentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947231509656534470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-80542511729240146942013-01-13T23:15:52.589-08:002013-01-13T23:15:52.589-08:00Merci pour votre visite.

There is no settling in your voice - there is passion. You have a passion for things that truly mean something - people and you. People are the things that matter to you - the memories you make are the only things you will take with you when this journey ends. In fighting for you, be sure you are allowing yourself to be as big - to dream as big - and make possible the things you truly want - the things that will live on after you. In your voice, there is power. In your there is power, passion and drive to achieve, accomplish and obtain anything your heart truly cares for. Trust in that :) Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-27577503785470446822013-01-12T18:52:50.658-08:002013-01-12T18:52:50.658-08:00everyone should be lucky to have an office.
