Hey Clinton, thanks for that amazing song. It's spot-on, as we say in Oz-speak, i.e. hits the nail on the head.

Having been in one of those times where life seems to have taken over I can completely sympathise. In the end I did totally re-think my life choices, and I am still putting those changes into effect, and living with financial hardship as a consequence in the short term but expecting that to change soon too.

I find that when it all gets too much and I finally yell "Enough!" that's when I realise that I am the one who makes the choices and I can change those choices if and when I feel like it. Maybe you feel trapped at the moment, but take some time to think about what is expendable and what is essential in your life.

Life is too short and unpredictable to waste time doing what you don't want to do. That takes up far too much time and energy and it isn't worth the loss of health, balanced lifestyle, and loving relationships in the process.

Helen
