It's not easy.
I used to have an affirmation, "Money comes to me, easily and effortlessly".
Right now that affirmation does not ring true. Things are not easy now. Work takes a lot of effort.
Money is tight. It is a struggle to get things done.
Is this true? Maybe. But this rings more true:
Money is flowing. It is a challenge to get things done.
I love challenges.
I love puzzles, and I love competition.
Competition allows me to win by comparison, because I am better than 90% of the people in my profession.
AND the business is not easy.
I always remember: if it was easy, everyone would do it.
If it were easy and effortless getting a home mortgage, I would be out of a job.
If it was easy and effortless to have a fulfilling, meaningful life, everyone would have one.
A meaningful life,
a life of passion
takes skill, courage, knowledge and discipline.
And that is a wonderful thing.
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.
