Ditching the Groundhog Day By Saving The Cow
Ok, I know this is a weird title.. but please bear with me and you will know what I mean…
If you have seen the movie Groundhog Day, you know what I mean by doing the same thing over and over again: get up, go to work, work your butt off, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed and then start all over again.
Have you ever asked why we are living like this? For what? What is the purpose of going to work everyday doing what we do right now? Just for a paycheck? Life is so short. Is it worth while to devote our lives into these paychecks? If the job is fulfilling, then you are the lucky one, but what if it is not?
Anyway, ever since I started this new lower stress job, I started to ask these questions seriously.
I felt like being a cow in the last 10 years. I was milked by my employer day in and day out. When I got too skinny, they would threw me on a grassy land (an easier project), fat me up and then milk me again until I couldn’t be milked anymore…Now, I am on a grassy land again taking on an easier job. But how long is that gonna last?
I don’t want to get fatty and thrown back in the barn to be milked again! I want to be able to go to grassy land at anytime I want to and I want to milk myself, not by others!So here comes Yuna’s
That is, I want to control my own future. I want to be able to generate multiple income streams so one day I don’t have to work for anyone else. After years of services in Corporate America, I realized that I have no control of my life and every dollar I make ends up in someone else’s pocket. I just can’t picture myself working for a company for 30 years, hoping that my paycheck will still be there tomorrow. Last year after I received our HR announcement about the cancellation of our pension program, I completely lost the trust in our corporation structure and my own employer.
So here I am, determined to find a way to one day support myself and my family with investment and other projects. So I set up “Free The Cow” Project site to document my ideas, progress, failures and success. I actually launched the project about a week ago, thanks to Cyco Miko’s help again as usual, we pretty much got the site nailed 80%. I have already laid out the ground work and defined the 3 projects of 2006.
Many of us have brilliant ideas, wonderful dreams and incredible talents, however, only few of us succeed at the end. I realize the hard part is actually doing it. Being said, another reason why I set up the second part of Yunasville is to force myself to keep making baby steps, document the baby steps so eventually I will get to where I want to go. I wrote a post a long time ago about the Turtle Theory. Although when I wrote it, it was meant for rock climbing, however, I think the Turtle Theory applies everywhere in our lives:
Even the smallest step will get you to where you want to be.
So I am hoping one day when I close this project, I will be sitting in a beautiful grassy land of my choice and never need to go back to the barn again.

You are a beautiful, most amazing woman. I am a lucky one to have you as a friend. I learn from you every time I come over here. Thank you for being who you are.

Thanks Liz! You are too kind! I am so glad that you are still around…
After some troubles with Yuna’s Village, I am glad that I can get it off the ground again, although with a different name, look and feel.. but it’s still me shouting out the same stuff…
You have always been a great support to me! I am truly grateful to see you again!
Yuna
