And Look At What The Universe Sends Me...


It's easy to let things get to you when you have no control of them.

Yet...that is PRECISELY why you SHOULDN'T let things get to you!

Today has been a dance of phone calls between our estate agent and prospective buyers of our house.

A few years ago I would have got seriously stressed about the whole situation...but not any more.

You see...I am in control of the situation.

We've had an offer that is about $3,500 less than the previous (failed) offer...and would result in us being out of pocket by a similar amount once our moving costs were taken into account.

Now...in the past...I would have got 'hung-up' on the fact that this offer was undervaluing our property...blah blah blah.

But...what it boils down to is this...

Do we want to lose my wife's 'dream house' for the sake of a few grand?

In the big scheme of things called 'quality of life'...does it really MATTER that I will have to find the money in the future?

Of course I would rather that I didn't...but I KNOW that the house we are buying is part of the quality of our future life...whereas an extra couple of grand on a credit card is just a bigger figure on a computer somewhere.

I KNOW that in the past...I would have been so attached to the MONETARY outcome...that I probably would have compromised what's REALLY important.

So...I am in control...and, with a couple more viewings lined up...who knows if the monetary side won't sort itself out eventually?

See...I go on about why you should focus on what's really important instead of money...and look at what the Universe sends me as a reminder that I should always 'walk my talk'! lol
