Day 61: The Advantage of Busy.

Day 61 on the risk factor, day 2 of actually giving it my best go...

I'm beat, but in a really great way.

I realize right now giving it your best is a heck of a risk; if you fail on your best attempt there is nothing to hide behind. Good. That's what I need. Nowhere to hide.

I also am starting to understand the advantages of busy: no time to think.

Thought is obviously a necessity, but I sometimes hide there, get lost there or at the very least spend too much time there.

I am getting tougher on me now. I'm not changing this risk for a few days either. I got through 1667 emails today at work in a span of five hours. Mind you, I didn't move for five hours, but it felt really good. Whatever your job, and at this point I have had enough to speak with mild authority, one thing remains true: it doesn't matter if you love, like or hate it - if you show up for a day of work, then work to your best ability. That has nothing to do with your paycheck and everything to do with your character.

Here's to really giving it everything you've got. Thanks for reading. Happy Summer Friday in just a few minutes...
