Often (especially if you live in a city somewhere) you need to go to somewhere beautiful and stay there for awhile.
Though some people choose everything in their life in a planned sort of way being in the right place at the right time is always spontaneous and usually unplanned by nature.
So, owning your own business and choosing when you work and don't work can be very important in all this too.
The easiest way to die young is to work for a large business or corporation where you are sort of like a slave and your time is not your own.
IT's this slave mentality that kills people often very young.
For example, if you are in the right place at the right time you likely wouldn't need to take Anti-depressants simply because you wouldn't be depressed.
Being around nature and trees and with friends who are like minded into being happy in the wilderness helps a person not ever need anti-depressants.
Being Depressed often comes with the slave mentality of working for a large corporation in the first place.
So, should you go quit your job if you need to?
I can't take responsibility for what other people do.
All I can do is to share what worked for me to stay alive and sane.
What worked for me was to leave Los Angeles County in 1969 when I was and move to San Diego county first and go to college there. I met my first wife in Long Beach at a church there and when we got together we moved first to Mt. Shasta where we stayed about a year before we broke up and I became a single father.
However, I knew i wanted to still live in Mt. Shasta even though making a living often can be harder there than in Los Angeles or San Diego County where I had worked before. So, often I financially sacrificed a lot to stay in Mt. Shasta from around 1979 to 1985 and then again from 1990 to 1992 which is the last time I actually lived in Mt. Shasta.
But, it was the time I bought land 2 1/2 acres for around 8000 dollars (really beautiful land then) and built my family an A-Frame which saved us around 60,000 dollars or more in rent for 5 years by doing this because all you pay then is property taxes and no rent when you own your own land and house.
I didn't get a mortgage and paid cash for the land and sold one of our vehicles to buy plywood and wood and roofing to build this house too. So, it was paid for as I built it.
So, for me it was sort of like a religious retreat like building my own monastery for my family and I to live in away from the insanity of the big city whether that is San Diego or Los Angeles or San Francisco or anywhere else.
So, what does it feel like to be in the right place at the right time?
It feels completely free and alive and with God and Angels 24 hours a day.
It's not that life is completely perfect because no one's life is.
But, it's at least 75% to 80% better than most peoples lives are on any given day.
And once I had learned to be in the right place at the right time I never forgot to do this!
By God's Grace
