Today I want to share something that shows that an opportunity - like a substantial income opportunity - is a life-transforming experience.

I was taking a drive today to experience in fall’s colors, smells and sounds when it struck me how fortunate I am to be able to see everything around me. See the black and white photo of me on my web page? I don’t have glasses on my face. It wasn’t always this way.

Starting at the age of five I had to wear thick glasses. Up until I was twenty my eyes got worse every year. The wonders of technology - and money in the bank - gave me an opportunity to get my eyes surgically repaired. So I stepped up to the plate and did it. I was a bit worried about the procedure of course, but my eye surgeon assured me that everything was going to be fine.

That black and white photo is my first morning without spectacles. What a morning it was!

I opened my eyes and looked at the clock without having to put on a pair of thick, bulky glasses. The first thing I did that day was buy a good pair of sunglasses: a fashion accessory I never got to have before. What I was aware of the most was that I no longer had to fear of losing or breaking my glasses. I didn’t have to be afraid I wouldn’t be able to find my way home. (That’s how bad my eyes were.)

I guess what this post is about is being grateful that I can see. I can see my grandchildren and see how they change as they grow. I can see my lovely wife everyday, the beautiful colors of fall and I can look into my monitor, type this down and share it with you. Every day, I’m thankful for stepping up and claiming the life I wanted to live. That’s just what I want to offer people with this business. Contact me and maybe we can help you take that step, and claim the best days of your life.

Remember the tree in my backyard? I opened my eyes this morning from a good night’s sleep and the first thing I saw was that tree. The fall colors are coming on strong, the sun is shining and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day.

Life is good. What am I going to do today? I say to myself, “Self, since it’s such a gorgeous day why don’t you get up, make coffee and breakfast and then dig out the Harley (ah, the rumble of the 103” stroker motor is music to my ears) and go for a ride? You don’t have many days left before winter is here.”

Naturally, I think that’s a great idea.

I’ve ridden motorcycles ever since I was old enough to get a license. In fact, I had a motorcycle before I had a car. Riding has always been passion of mine. I like the wind in my face and the smell of freshly mowed hay or newly worked soil. I don’t mind the odd bug in my mouth, because riding a motorcycle is like life: You have to take the good with the bad. The secret is to maximize the good things by being brave and going for the ride. Bugs and the odd pig farm or livestock yard can be annoying or smelly but it can be fun, too. When you go by one it’s an excuse to roll on the throttle and listen to the pipes bark for a bit.

I called up my youngest brother today and he’s into going for a ride. He said that he’ll phone a couple more friends to see if they’re up for it, too. I like to share my good times. Ever since I started up my business to make money at home, I get to do more of what I want, when I want. I got brave - I went for the ride.

Like I said, life is good. How’s your life?
