Kelp...

"It might take a year, it might take a day, but what's meant to be will always find its way." - Anonymous



From the beginning, it's always been a rush... and that is why I'm where I am now. Every financial decision has been rushed and unplanned. I'm able to actually see that now because of the advice of others, and because I want something I can't have. It's a big purchase, it's not cheap. And with the mountains of debt that I have, and the expenses that I have with it... I realize that bad choices have put in my a position where I have to deal with them before I can move forward.

I spoke to my parents over the weekend, and as always they provided me with good counsel. I trust my parents, and now I know that if I had listened to their great advice years ago, elements in my life would probably be a whole lot different. Instead of things being full of chaos and confusion.

Timing is really everything, often times I rush into decisions, and then I have to deal with the consequences. I have to deal with them now, or no movement can be made. Several weeks and months ago... I thought I was ready to make progress, but I had deceived myself into believing that I needed to jump start elements of my life in order to move forward. NO, I needed to fix myself first and deal with the choices I have made that led me here. I got too much baggage, and too many issues that I need to fix before I can even begin making any forward progress. Or as a captain of a ship would say... there is too much kelp on the hull and it's slowing our progress.

Debt can be viewed like kelp... a lot of things can be viewed like kelp in my life... but I'm aware of the impact now. My eyes are open... but I have to stand my ground or I'm just hurting my future at this point.
