“I guess if you got freeload money from your rich dad or your partner, then you can spend it as you did. 
But, hey if you are poor, not matter you do, you are still poor.”

This was a comment on one of my recent posts “Three Months In The Life Of A Traveling Entrepreneur”. Bit presumptuous I thought, and just the smallest bit passive aggressive in that unsettling way that makes one think the author might possibly be sitting at his computer right now planning my future demise…I hope he or she at least has a decent cup of coffee with him or her.

Hello all, I am back again with another 3 quest posts on three incredibly awesome sites.

Having just re-read them to make sure they actually made some vague sense before shamelessly linking back to them in a wonderfully sneaky way of avoiding writing a post for Saturday I realised that at least two of the posts have distinctly less humour in them then usual. I must have been having a very deep thinking few weeks but don’t worry they are still definitely worth reading.

However, in light of the lack of humour before I plug them shamelessly below I will include two jokes to make up the humour deficit as is customary on this blog. (There’s an animal theme)

Today is the start of SUCCESS TOOLS here on thelifething.com. I feel recently that there has been a lot of inspirational posts but nothing that helps people make practical changes to improve their life.

No longer. The SUCCESS TOOLS are simple, practical and most importantly quick tools that help you analyze your life, make changes and improve.

This first one, the Social Spider Web, focuses on the core of what brings most people the greatest happiness – their relationships – and helps you to access where you are currently and then make simple and life changing tweaks to dramatically increase your personal happiness.

If you only read one blog today, it really should be this one.

Splash.

The bracing cold water hits my face and flows over my body as I dive out of the sun and slip into the cool water. I exhale and let myself drift slowly downwards to sit crossed legged on the bottom of the pool. I remain motionless, listening to the faint underwater hum of the filtering system and watch the bubbles float slowly upwards through dancing underwater sunbeams to break gently in an array of reflected light at the surface. It’s 2pm. Tuesday.
