Work - Recharge - Repeat

It was an overwhelming week.   Partida, holiday pa on Monday.  We hit the ground running on the first day of the week due to an unexpected arrival of our shipment.  My brain is over-thinking.  Where do I park those vehicles?  How is this going to affect our cashflow?  Are the documents complete for release?  Did I just get scammed by a supplier?   As much as we try to prepare for surprises, there are still some things that just can't be controlled or just wont be controlled.   I've exhausted all my energy for the week in one work day alone.  Stormy afternoons seem to reflect what's going on in my head. However, not all surprises are stressful.  Some bring joy...like finding the dress you've been looking for, finding something you need on sale, collecting payment from a business transaction, finding easy solutions to problems, unexpected roadtrips, bringing a trunkful of produce from a client visit, making a sale without too much effort, making new friends or new busines

Wednesday - Words of Wisdom

I was watching the life story of Arnold Schwarzenegger on Netflix and I didn't know that he is a very wise man.   I only know him as an actor.  I didn't know about his struggles in his youth or that he is a successful businessman.  He made his first million dollars even before he entered Hollywood.   He lived a good life, achieved so much at a young age.  He endured and succeeded.  He is not afraid to try new things and is not afraid to fail.  He has the brains and the brawns.   For a moment, it seemed that he had it all.  It is sad that his marriage didn't survive the trials.  Nevertheless, his drive and will-power are admirable.
