There are some messes in my life that I must clean up. I cannot tolerate them any more.
I keep my desk at work clean, but at home my desk is a mess, covered with weeks of old debris that needs to be filed, put away or thrown away. I can't have clear thoughts working at a cluttered desk.
I am busy every day helping clients with their mortgages, monitoring their credit and tax bills, and yet I got a reminder yesterday in the mail that one of my own bills is past due.
As I clean up these messes, I want to simplify my life. I am going to fill my time with what is important to me - my family, and my unique talents. The rest is just noise, getting in the way. It is time to clean my side of the street.
The good news is that I am learning a lesson, and it is a small wake-up call, and I can make a change.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
