Waking Up

I suppose I've been in sort of a trance since around April.

On April 16th I had surgery on my left foot. I had a ligament that had pushed its way up to where it wasn't supposed to be, and was catching on one of my nerves. It was causing pain and discomfort, and caused me to walk with a limp. Only a few weeks before hand I accepted a promotion at my work, which has a lot more responsibility. After recovery and returning to work, things got really hectic, and it never stopped. My friend got fired, then my supervisor. All eyes were on me, and I got stressed out, mostly because I knew I had so many opportunities online to take care of, and I hated missing out on them due to my responsibilities at work. I've only really awoken from this trance state in the last couple of weeks. During July my parents flew out to stay with my wife and I, and their acceptance of life helped a little. At the beginning of the month, my wife and I travelled to Washington DC, and that broke it even more. And what shattered it completely was when my new supervisor sat down with me and asked me what was up. I told him about all the problems with work, and he basically told me to organize everything with all the resources available, and take charge of the situation, get a hold of it, and not let it get a hold of me. And I guess that's what I've allowed to happen for almost 4 months now. I've allowed my situation to grab a hold of me, rather than me grabbing hold of the situation. And so the lesson here is, sit down, take a deep breath, Analise your situation, organize yourself and your surroundings, find your zen, and grab hold of the situation. You'll never succeed if you don't get a grip of yourself and learn some self discipline. This applies to Internet marketing also. Just a little each day will build up into an enormous multitude over a year. So keep going, and remember. Rome wasn't built in a day.
