Spirituality and growth


I have been learning new things and of course one of those things is blogging. 

Sometimes life can put pressure on you and you can either give up or try something new.  

I am choosing trying something new. I want to learn to be a writer on the internet and grow in new business ideas so I can eventually work from home, wherever that turns out to be as I progress through the rest of my life. 

My spiritual beliefs require me to always grow and move forward never backwards. With this in mind I am trying out ways to move my business experience in sales to online sales in different ways. I would love to work my travels into a travel writer career later as I plan on starting to visit many new places and some I've been too in the past.  

It seems to me that there are those that want to always complain about their lot in life and also those that just ask for a higher power to take care of it all and then never work on making it better.  I find both to be fruitless. 

I believe no matter what religion or lack of one that you follow, that your life is your responsibility. It comes down to whatever you put into life is what you get out of life. I want to always strive to give my best whatever that best for that given day is. Life is just so much better whenever you are striving to make it better and feel that you are making a difference. It makes no sense to complain about your plot and then do nothing to fix it. You are the master of your own reality.  

I also have written in my blog about my reptiles I own. This is because it gives me joy in life to work with these creatures and learn from them. I have recently learned how much time goes into preparing the vegetarian dishes for my iguana. This in turn makes me want to eat healthier though and reflects back into taking better care of myself.  

I have found that eating more vegetables and less meat makes me feel better and then I have a more positive outlook for my workday world and my free time as well. 

I am finding out that I need to have a well-rounded life and that things need to be ordered and focused. I need to make sure that time is spent on my religious studies and my education as well as being positive at work and my family life. I am working toward having more family time and thus the reason for wanting to move my work life on line. I have done a lot of work on my education to get from where I am at now to where I want to be and just have to keep on working at it. 

More to come later,
Dave

New life changes

I have been off here for awhile and now am back. I started this blog as a project to learn how to write on the internet to start new business ideas. I am interested in starting  a career with me being my own boss at some time in the future. I have been doing alot of research and starting new things. This is why my posts have been far and few between. I stated before that I want to start a blog talking about my snakes and how this pertains to my growth in life with my original post on midlife changes. I am searching out all kinds of ways to make  a career on line. I want to help people find ideas for their own growth in ways that will be different than mine but can use my example on what I am writing about if it helps them. I do not want to make a mistake and write too much before my writing is suitable.

I just bought a new lizard this weekend. I bought an Iguana and am starting to learn how to live with it. He will take up a large part of my life trying to get him trained and keeping him healthy. I bought him and got the basic supplies recomended by the pet store for initial setup. In two days of learning I already have a used cage which saved me lots of money. I found there are others with larger iguanas that have outgrown cages that are willing to sell them cheaper to afford more for their growing pets.


This also opens dialogue in my case with another reptile owner that can educate me in their past adventures and mistakes with this Pet.

I love all animals and think that you need to know what you are getting into before making a purchase.

I have made mistakes on the way already and am willing to admit that and talk about it so someone else does not have to make the same mistakes I have already.

Iguanas take a very special all vegetarian diet. This is not the idea I received from videos on line.

There are plants and store bought vegetables that are poisonous to them.

I am not claiming to know all the facts and am not to be relied on at this point as and expert in any means. I do not claim to know all the facts of keeping an iguana healthy. I am just learning myself now.

I am saying that I have read some information and found that some fruits or vegies out there that will not hurt us humans in small amounts may be very bad for the iguana.

I am stating that I am not at this point and any point to be an expert but am willing to share info that I find from others that might be good advise to help a new iguana owner.

I just bought mine this weekend and started studiing and received a great cage through Craigslist in my city and found a resource on the way that has adult iguanas.

Not only did I get a great deal on a cage for my new Lizard, I found a knoweldgeable Iguana handler.

Like I stated in my earlier blog about my snakes I hope to learn soon how to post youtube videos and hook them to this blog.

Bear with me as I am learning how to blog and hope to grow with my list of readers if I happen to be lucky enough to get a list.

Please always keep coming back and checking my blog as I grow I might just be able to offer you some insightful tips.
