Your advice is spot on & I really appreciate it. It really is the key to a happy & fulfilling life :) Since leaving the corporate world & starting my own business I've really had to rethink money in many different aspects. If you haven't read it I highly recommend "The Soul of Money" by Lynne Twist. You make a very good point on philanthropic resources & she discusses that in the book as well.Colleen Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120463024611839259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831799361096039156.post-57488863194238079862013-12-19T17:22:03.451-08:002013-12-19T17:22:03.451-08:00Sounds like you have always known yourself deep do...Sounds like you have always known yourself deep down. Most people never have the courage and or opportunity to find a fulfilling way to share their talents/passions with others to make a living. Congratulations on that! Many people with great wealth tend to use philanthropic means to fill the void of employment. Self-made wealthy individuals usually blow off all their workaholic steam before philanthropy sets in. You have a wonderful soul Colleen. You would be a wonderful leader of philanthropic initiatives. Often deciding how philanthropic resources are used is just as important as providing them. Especially in large corporations. I like the Breakfast at Tiffany's picture. Priceless! Keep giving the gift of your heart and passionate energy to all aspects of your life. That is the best advice I could give anyone. P.S Any wealthy woman that sits around drinking martinis all day is almost certainly clinically depressed.
