challenge

as i type this blog post i am completely beside myself with glee. really. i can barely contain it! i just had a meeting with a friend who started his own business. that in and of itself inspires me. we're the same age. he had the guts to do what so many of us don't. we're stagnant for many reasons and i won't bother chronicling them now because i'm sure you can identify your own reasons for succumbing to laziness, fear, complacency, etc. you know why you have failed to do what you truly desire with your life and no one is to blame but you.

listening to him talk about his baby and watching him light up as he spoke his vision for his business challenged me. the more he talked about being on his grind the more i realized how i had caged the beast in my life. sure i can blame my drought of creativity on my job but in the past, that would just mean i found other outlets. since moving to seattle i've been stagnant in many areas. it's time to step it up. there is greatness in me. i've seen glimpses and sparks in the past but i've allowed the flames to all but fizzle out. that is my fault. i was lazy. but not anymore.

today i got renewed. invigorated. challenged. i am better than what i have been doing. i'm more talented than what i have been showing. i am more hungry than my current situation would show. it's time to do more than just be on my grind. it's time to dream again, dream big! cast the vision. and make it happen. i accept the challenge. now watch me work!
