The Ladder of Life


Welcome to my Blog. I am an Investment Advisor living and working in Port Alberni, but just as importantly, I am a wife, mother, volunteer, and an active and supportive community member. I believe we can all take charge of our destiny, our future, with the proper mind-set, sense of direction, goals and tenacity to attain what we dream about. Think of your life as a ladder, with the steps numbered one through ten. The top of the steps represents the best possible life we can have, while the bottom is the worst. Where do you feel you personally stand at this point in your life? Where would you like to stand? I believe we all have the power to get to that top step, and I hope that some of the blog posts in the weeks and months to come, will inspire you to get there.

Life is Like... || Port Alberni Investment Advisor

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to cruise through life without too many troubles, while others are plagued with all sorts of difficulties and hurdles along the way?  There are no guarantees with this life of ours, but I believe we can better cope with the demands and stresses of life if we have the right attitude.  Attitude is everything.  When a door is closed in our lives, we have to look for the window of opportunity to turn things around and make things better.  It isn't easy, and although we don't always have control on the things that happen to us in our lives, we can control our attitudes and actions. Some people are really good at bouncing back after adversity strikes, while others wallow in pity and despair.  If we can wake up each day and say to ourselves, each and every day of my life is a blessing, we are reminded just how lucky most of us are.  Here are some thoughts about how life can be compared to other things or situations.  

Life is like:

  • A mountain.  It's hard to climb, but when you get to the top you not only feel a great sense of accomplishment, but the view is fantastic!
  • The ocean.  It can be calm and still, or rough and turbulent.  But in the end, it's always beautiful.
  • Photography.  Focus is important in order to get a good shot.
  • A photo album.  You can look back at the moments, but never recapture them.
  • A book.  Every day has a new page with adventures to tell, things to learn and tales to remember.  (From the movie "The Notebook")
  • the game of basketball.  You can't play it alone.
  • riding a bicycle.  To keep your balance, you must keep moving.  (Albert Einstein)
  • like a novel.  You are the author and every day is a new page.
Here are some photos to share with you.  Watch for my next blog for more "life is like" quotes!
