It seems that blogging is not a recession proof industry much to my surprise. It seems that the global downturn that effected companies has now come and bit bloggers where “the sun don’t shine”. This downturn has affected me badly since i’m a bit in a dire need for money at the moment. Wanting to expand my home gym and expenditures have to be put on hold to allocate funds for my savings account and the reduced pay out of my work. Unfortunately that means that many of the lifestyle changes like more workouts and an increased presence in the mixed martial arts scene will not be able to be completed until later on.
Looking on the bright side, I see that this is also a good thing. Adopting my philosophy of wabi and non-materialism can also be a good thing as I try to meditate more and more. It’s food for thought, on the one hand you have good while the other wields the bad. Although my materialism will not be satisfied my urge for simplicity will be. This is more of a boon / curse than anything else, or maybe everything in life is a boon / curse all wrapped into one?
