Work

Work - Just a few weeks ago I got a job doing manual labor.  It had been decades since I’d done work like that and my body did not respond well.  After just four days I ended up with a bulging disc in my back and left that job.  As a stay at home Dad working marketing and finance from home part time I hadn’t had a full time job since probably 2012 and it was an eye opener for me.  I learned I still knew how to work hard.  I was also reminded that work takes time and energy.  The work I choose to do now is different from manual labor.  I feel like I’ve got unique skills and experiences to help people establish healthy habits in their lives, specifically business executives who may need to get creative about how they fit it all in.  You’ve got unique skills and experiences you can use too.  I figured I can either just go to work trading time for money, which isn’t bad, or I can spend my time and energy doing something I enjoy and feel I’m good at.  If I give the same amount of time and energy to that work as I did to manual labor I figure things will work out just fine.  Work.
