My day job sucks.

Yeah yeah, happy to have a job, good pay, work from home. I know all that. But that doesn’t change the fact that it sucks.

You suck it up, you do your job. That’s how it goes. I have a family to provide for, and I know there’s little out there that can help me manage like this job does. So I know all the good, I know the advantages, I know the blessings. But I’m still miserable.

The past couple weeks have been especially demoralizing and destructive.

But something happened.

Sure, I look at my blog stats to see what’s going on, and sometimes I wonder where all the hits to a certain page have come from. One such page is this one, about Mental Toughness. I write a lot, don’t always remember what I write, so I went back to read it.

It is not easy getting over any shattering experiences, but with guts and determination, you can get over any painful ordeal. Life is full of disappointments and letdowns. When we don’t get what we want, the consolation is that we gain experience. This doesn’t seem like a worthwhile prize, but see how the adversity can enlighten you. If may not be obvious, but look hard at any opportunity for personal growth. Take in the life lesson and move on.

So allow me to rephrase…

I’m presently gaining a lot of experience, enlightenment, and undergoing massive amounts of personal growth. 🙂

Oddly tho, when I step back to look at things, I see it… and I see the growth in more ways than the obvious. Question is… what am I going to do with it?

We shall see.

But at least, after a long crappy couple of weeks… reading the above was a needed reminder.
