I fear no more

By Mike the salesman


I do not do  poetry as a rule, but the words to this kept comming to me, so I felt I must write them down.

I'm in no haste to drink of the bitter cup

I long not to draw my final breath

I hunger not for my final sup

I welcome not the dark of death

But I fear no more, I am ready

 

My life a gift, enjoyed and treasured

The giver of all, in abundance gave

Many mile run, much distance measured

In debt to Him, is my soul, He'll save

I fear no more,I am ready

 

The sunset of life,no longer an abyss

Not the haunting,dreadful place

Now dwelling in the love of His

Safe in His Eternal grace

I fear no more,I am ready

 

In youth I feared the great unknown

And this world seemed the end

But the clouds broke up, and the Son shone

My saviour and my friend

I fear no more, I am ready

I understand what he is trying to say, and I don't fear. But why don't I do what I know I must do to be happy. Why do I procrastinate so much on stuff that I know I need to do, I want to do, I have to do. I love the simple things in life. I love the Lord. I love my kids. I love my life. So why am I still sad. Why have I not gotten to the level that I need to be at. It is not just about money but without money I can't travel. I can't take care of my kids. Does any one know how I can make a hundred dollars a day for starters. I need to do what ever it takes I went to college, I worked in the corporate world but I just wasnt happy. I can I stay motivated everyday. Not just when I need to make money but all the time. Life is so precious and I feel it slipping away as the days go by so fast. I look at my calendar and all the days look the same. I want a change, I need a change and it is easily solved by making at least a hundred dollars a day.........Please does any one have the answer..........

wow Steve! Interesting comments! If you have problems money can solve, you dont have too bad a problem. There are many ways for someone of your calibre to make 100.00 a day. Tell me, do you have anything to get started with? Many ways to supplement your income on ebay or Craig's list, just by going to a few garage sales, or buying a cheap car, cleaning it up, and selling it, for example. You can also take online surveys..just some ideas

Mike the source of my problems have been money.....Not enough of it. I got a divorce eight years ago and everything changed for me. I hate working for any one and the 9-5 gets under my skin so bad I feel cheated every Friday.....I am trying to start my own income producing business, but it seems like I have a mental block. I procrastinate at the very moment when I need to take action.I try to motive myself...set my goals....review them periodically.....but nothing seems to work. I am running out of time.....I love the idea of working from home. I am passionate about it to be honest. Working on my computer, I could be on it 24 seven taking periodic brakes....Mike is there anyway with my help you can lead me to just the next level. I am a born saleman and I don't know why this is happening to me. Now is when I must stand up and let my salesmanship take over. Yet I feel like my legs are numb. I can't feel the floor.I can feel the bills piling up. Mike maybe because you are a stranger I can open up to you. But I think that every thing is a scam so I shy away from it. First step I need to sell something on Craigslist , already in the works, and on ebay getting to it.....what else do you recommend I do, I just need 100 dollars aday that is it..........Help Me.....Please.......Help Me.......I am drowning in despair....In my own confused state of breaking out of poverty I am drowning with so much opportunity around me. What would you do I wonder?

I wish I had read this sooner. This really stirs me deeply. It not only reveals the feeling within, but the soul as well. I'm very touched. It's beautiful.
