Still Day One

Like in outlines, I think you need a “two” if you have a “one” so here goes…

I started this company to make money. Yup. Make money. And to help others. I learned long ago - and have since forgotten it seems - that in order to help others I have to make money. Earn money. In order to do that I have to sell stuff. Services. Products. Consulting. Reports. Etc.

I’m being a bit open here. I think it is necessary.

I’ve always been taught to help. To be less selfish. Not entirely selfless, just less selfish. Mom struggled a lot when she was younger. Getting married - 3 times - didn’t help. Not until the 3rd husband. My step-dad, Richard. It was an interesting time when my mom left my dad. Best thing she could have done, truthfully. It still sucked. It was hard being a teenager and knowing what was necessary but still being angry and confused about it.

No matter. It’s the past. Not the present.

The present is now. The “gift,” as they call it.

Okay, I’m done. Tomorrow is a new day to be faced with open eyes, closed mouths and an optimism that just annoys most people. =)

I’ll leave you with two thoughts.

First, as the famous (and infamous) Bruce Lee said, “Be water, my friend.” Second, from a tragically horrible book series I won’t do the honor of naming… “Face it, fight it, go on.”

Thank you, everyone.
