Day 4

It’s a battle.

And it’s a Marathon.

It’s never easy, it’s can’t be done like magic, it won’t take one easy step, or 2 weeks, or 50 dollars down with no financing.

It is hard, and it hurts, and it’s depressing, and it’s a long climb, but nothing worth attaining is easy, and everything worth keeping is hard.

And here’s a bonus piece of wisdom: Everyone is in the same fight, and it’s hard for them too.

The smiling girl at the checkout, the rich and famous celebrities (especially them), the perfect couple, your boss, the young and beautiful, the old and wise, the rich power brokers, and of course the poor, starving, abused and addicted.

They may have the money, but not the security.

Maybe they have the health, but the 3 maxed out credit cards.

Maybe they have kids and are tearing their hair out.

Maybe they wish they had kids -and are tearing their hair out.

The truth is life is tough – for everybody. Show me a person who has it made, and I’ll find the things that keep them up at night.

I took a job with a great company, and left the one I worked at for 15 years. The great company turned out to have just as many jerks as the old one did, and the headaches were there waiting for me—just different kinds.

I’m glad I took the job, but realized that even if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence- you still have to eat it.

So now that you know what the score is, you can stop focusing on the guy in the faster checkout lane, and can start focusing on the blessings (and challenges) God gave you today—and start eating.
