Lucky

I am so incredibly lucky that I get to do what I do for a living. My friends think I am crazy, in a way, although I'm not sure they really understand what it is that I do - exactly. Yes, I am on the road most of the time. Yes, I work long hours and log many miles. I also get to meet incredible people everyday; I get to make a very real difference in this world; I get to see the impact of my hard work for years and years to come; and my circle of friends expands with every new client with whom I am privileged enough to work. On top of all of that I get to work with my amazing mother and learn from her everyday.

All of those reasons make me incredibly fortunate. Yet the number one reason I am the luckiest person alive is that I get to push the boundaries everyday. I don't have to work in a template fashion and I get to use my brain - all of it - to come up with the best possible solution to every challenge I encounter. How many people can say that? I hope more than I can imagine.

So when you find yourself griping about your job or your lot in life, think about the things that make you lucky. If the lucky doesn't outweigh the challenging, then DO something different. PLEASE do not continue down your path because it is "the best you can do right now." This is crap. After all "whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right."
