Some things in life you just can’t change ! fun loving hippy or corparate monkey boy
I wanted a 1967 VW Camper - I have Bmw 5 series sports tourer

I wanted a Apple MacBookAir like the cool kids - I have a IBM / Lenovo x300 ( awesome thou it is )

I wanted a Beachhouse apartment - I have a Five Bedroom House in the Country ( overlooks the cricket pitch )

I wanted to sit in the Sun and Drink fine wine - I get drunk on Beer

I wanted a Big Massage Chair - I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair

but more than anything :

I wanted to treat my body like a temple - but I’ve treated it like the funfair !

Where did it all go wrong ;) ok spill it what did you want ??

    Thanks for sharing Dave. Good to know that even if things don’t turn out quite how you want they can still come up smelling of roses.

    For my own part:

    I wanted a job that wouldn’t mean wearing a tie and sitting in an office all day - I’m sitting in the office typing this while wearing a tie (but I’m working on it)

    I wanted to find a career that I would enjoy and be passionate about - hmm, maybe not on the tie-wearing office days, but again I’m treating that as practice for the next big thing and a work in progress at this stage

    I wanted to find advice on how to turn my hobby into a career, so that I would never have to truly “work” another day in my life - thanks to people like you and the many other brilliant SEO bloggers out there I think I finally have

    Absolute Power! Seriously though, I got everything I wanted before I knew what was really important. Now I want to make as much as I can with as little time spent as possible.

    I wanted to be a rum-drunk writer in the Caribbean. Then I grew up a little. Now I want to be an off-grid, organic farmer in Oregon. But instead I’m an SEO in Denver. Here’s to keeping your dreams alive… :-)

    I wanted to live life like a rockstar. Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll. Instead I am sat behind 3 monitors analysing competitor backlinks.

    I wanted to work from home to work for myself. I now work from home; working for clients.

    I wanted to freelance for a more flexible work schedule. I work more now than I ever have.

    Careful what you wish for; it might come true.
