About

Hi my name is Azar and I’m a Baby Boomer.  That revelation doesn’t exactly roll off my brain with ease….but I’m getting use to it.  You see,  about 3 weeks ago, my past and my present were on  a run away freight train  that sort of collided as I began to realize that I was 60 years old and literally had nothing to show for my life on this earth except a whole lot of  bad choices.  The freight I was carrying were  the thoughts of  the sum total of  living.  Sitting in front of my computer that day, I had to come to terms with  how  I had allowed all of the years of  stinking negative messages about myself,  negative situations and circumstances  control a major portion of my of my life  and had delivered me to this point.

After I finished playing back the mind movie of my life, there was  a decision to be made..do I continue feeling sorry for myself ,  dwelling on my past mistakes or do I embrace the fact that my past is what it is, that I am a 60 year old baby boomer(only by the grace of God) and take the steps needed to turn my life around and  begin making some  changes.  I began to think about what I had going for me at this point.  First of all, I was strong , healthy, and in my right mind (most days..smile).   I have a love for people  a passion to inspire, motivate and encourage others to be the best that they can be, no matter where they are in life.  I really love network marketing and all it’s concepts and being creative.  I more often than not  look at the glass being half full instead of half empty and  when life throw’s me a lemon, I  usually  look for the closest corner to set up a lemon-aide stand.   But most of all, what I have going for me is my love of Jesus Christ, who died to save me from myself….and I have hope!

So, instead of looking at my past and what I hadn’t done, I would rather believe  by faith that I’m still living for a reason.  God is not done with me yet and with His help and guidance, I can  make the best of the rest of my life…if I choose to. Yes my  life has been somewhat  in the toilet  for the past 30 something years but, it’s time for me to get off the pot…(I don’t mean that kind of pot… smile)

I’m dumping the freight that I was carrying, getting on another train (of thought) and begin controlling my thoughts so they  travel in another direction. Change is not easy, but I know that it is possible if I don’t give up.    My prayer is that  “between the dash”,  I will have made a positive contribution in the lives of my family and friends and those I meet along the way…then my life will not have been in vain.

Oh Crap, I’m A Baby Boomer is a blog for me, but it is also for other boomers who know exactly  where I’m coming from.  Those who have been wearing  the same old shoes, (one size fits all)  walking around the same old mountain, carrying the same old baggage, telling themselves the same self defeating messages  for far too many years.   Now you may have given up living your life and you’re  just existing because you think that at this stage,  “what’s the point?”  but I also know you feel in the depth of your soul that where you are in life right now, today, is not where God  intended you to be. You know that your life was meant to be more, have  meaning and purpose.  You know it is time to start walking in a new pair of shoes to catch a new train ( of thought) to a brand new destination….  that place called “Successful Living”!   So, get off the pot and do something new……All aboard!

To Your Abundant Life!
