My friend passed this on to me. What do you get?

I’m reading “The Good Earth” again. The first time I read it, I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have because his voice is kind of easy to get swayed into thinking about other things. I’m listening and reading it now. I found a copy on Scribd, awesome site. Tolle says something that I have been doing. Lately, all I do is talk about what is lacking in my life, but I need to focus on what is already good in it.
These are the things that I am happy about:
Think about that. What makes you happy? Forget about what is lacking for once.
I can’t believe that they forgot their three-year old daughter at the airport. They are lucky that it was a policeman who found her, and not a pedophile. I thought the article was well written, and I like the hint of sarcasm with “they remembered their duty-free shopping and 18 suitcases.” This is Home Alone x 10.

I’m getting sick of my job. It’s flexible, and I don’t get micromanaged. However, I still feel that I am wasting my time and myself here. Egos run rampant, workaholics reign supreme, and there are kiss-ass whores who get favored (I wonder why). I hope that my business is successful, so I can say peace out to this job. I can’t imagine continuing to bust my ass for someone else to have deep pockets.
In my five-year plan (yes, I actually have one, and so should you), I estimate two years before I am free of ever working for anyone again. I have the stamina, heart, and drive to make my dreams a reality. My only issue is how introverted I have become. I need to join the land of the living because lately I have been a total hermit.
Any tips are more than welcome!
