Sometimes it feels so overwhelming
between job and life
practice, study, and daily chores
It can feel like a heavy weight
on my shoulders,
or like Sisyphus,
at the gym
on the StairMaster
climbing and climbing
but when you get off
you are in the same place that you started...
But life is not a curse,
it is a blessing
and this busy-ness
is self-imposed,
a desire to be all I am capable of being.
No one is telling me to live life at this pace
except me
and I do it
in the end
because I love life and want to live it with Passion.
This feeling of overwhelm turns around
when I love the process
and let go of the result.
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.
