01/05/12 - Pain and Passion

The morning workout is still going strong.  I'm sore, but it's the good kind of sore.  It's funny, but this pain is actually kind of enjoyable.  It's the kind of pain where you can feel yourself getting stronger.  I've always thought that pain was pain and really used that as an excuse not to get back into the gym and start exercising.  I know pain.  A car accident in college has been giving me pain in my back for 20 years.  Interestingly enough, with each passing day exercising, my back pain is slowly going away.

Following that, today was a day of writing and computer productivity.  It's also the first day that I have really focused on my work and not let distractions like the TV or the internet slow me down.  Somehow I think George Washington would have thought that "work is work and play is play".  As a result, I got a lot done.

I was also able to help my wife a lot today and support her in her job search.  It's not coincidence that it seems like I have a lot of time on my hands to go to the gym in the morning and write on the computer in the afternoon.  Both my wife and I unexpectedly lost our jobs right before Christmas.

I'm the lucky one.  I am an entrepreneur and have businesses on the side that I run from home.  In fact, this has been a great change for me because I have been able to refocus on what I love to do.  Now I'm able to work on my passion instead of slaving away at someone else's passion.  To top it off, what I do will hopefully help change how small business owners do business.  I believe that it is the small business owner that will help restore our country to greatness and what I'm doing will help it along the way.


I don't "think" this, I "know" this.
