Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially

Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement-along with a good cup of coffee!-to start the day. Today we discuss "hardworking." Hopefully, the message below will help you get off to a good start for the week. Please feel free to forward the newsletter along to others who you think would benefit from the content.

Hardworking

I hate that I get lazy!

While I know I should be hardworking, I get distracted by shiny objects. Sometimes I resemble a dog that runs around screaming "squirrel!" when I see something new and novel.

Why is that?

Well, it's because I don't always think about the long term versus the short term. To get a bit Biblical, it's about living in the flesh versus living in the spirit.

There are tons of things that look appealing, provide short-term satisfaction, and are easy. But the things in life that are valuable only come through hard work-faith, relationships, fitness, success, and significance.

Most everyone I know has the knowledge and ability to achieve what they want in life. Unfortunately, for many of us, we have to look at the hardworking folks around us-who are learning, growing, and living fully-in order to recognize that our own lack of discipline is all that is holding us back.

Fortunately, when we learn we are the problem, we are already 99% of the way to the solution. It's this FACT that keeps me going through life's many challenging times.

That brings us to this week's question:

• Are you hardworking?

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.  

Have a great week!
