I’m a glass half-empty kind of soul.
A natural-born complainer.
Wish it wasn’t so.
But I’ve got better at holding my tongue. And redirecting my thoughts.
So there is SOME hope for me. đ
Now, it’s not hard to throw a little pity party when things are just full-on busy with my online business…
And I’m spending what seems like every waking hour working on it.
I’m talking about the business that’s MEANT to offer all sorts of degrees of freedom for me and my family.
But with a deep breath and a pause… perspective has its way of fluttering down.
Then I’m left wondering what I’m getting uptight about.
Because, yes, things ARE busy. Right now.
Yes, I’ve got to slog through some stuff like product creation.
And getting my head around what collaborating with other business owners looks like for me.
But I know consistent effort WILL pay off.
There’ll come a point when I have much greater freedom and flexibility. With time. With location. With money.
And those income streams will begin to flow even more freer.
That wouldn’t be possible without walking the road of entrepreneurship…
Of stepping out, taking risks, and building something out of nothing.
So for all the future holds… AND for having energy and focus to work on it in the present…
I am GRATEFUL
Gratitude has a way of sweeping away my anxious feelings. And granting me an increased sense of wellbeing.
So that massive task tomorrow… of putting together another new product for an upcoming collaboration…
Just seems that bit simpler. Fun even!
I like this quote, attributed to actor and singer, Doris Day…
âGratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.â
I think of that not so much in terms of monetary riches.
But in the intangible things of life itself â friendship, love, service.
So I’m grateful for the hard day of work ahead of me tomorrow.
And also eternally grateful for my pillow… that right now beckons my name at only 9:08pm… after a harrowing 4:30am start this morning.
