Whew. I really had a rough week and it ended in an excruciating visit from Mother Nature. And although I’d love to delve into the everyday headaches of PA’ing at the studio, I think it’d be best to jump to the reminder it gave me on my drive home; life is’nt going to come easy either way. 

If I choose to continue to chase my dreams and grow as an person/business owner, then it will not be rainbows and butterflies. While building new habits, there will be days when giving up in the moment and just dealing with the consequences later seems like the best thing to do. Physical fatigue will set in and it may be difficult to establish a healthy work/rest routine. Mental and emotional health will be taxed during the grind stages. That’s difficult.

If I choose a more tradition, safe route and get into a job that pays the bills, I know I’ll suffer in mental or emotional ways that will continue as long as I keep myself in that box. Days will always be long but unfulfilling and after some time, I won’t recognize myself as a creative. Plus I may lose that job for whatever reason. That’s difficult.

One of these results in a healthier, inspired, successful version of myself. (Also one that doesn’t have to work all year.)

One results in a perpetually depressing cycle that will probably sadden me to death (literally to death, considering how or emotions alter our immune/organ function- but that’ll be in my book :)

We have to choose our daily burdens with the future in mind or our future burdens will only worsen. Choose to work now, on yourself and your life’s vision. I know everyone reading this can think of some older people they know who just didn’t tap into all the potential they had. People who are so upset with life that their words and actions are often bitter and hateful. Make the choice to create the life you want and be happy in it, because even if you choose not to, life still won’t come easy.

Never in a million years would have thought I’d come back to writing a blog. I started so many in my more... "dramatic" middle school days but kept forgetting my password, lol. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to voice at the time but I think I have a better idea now. This blog is where I will lay my truths, health/wellness information and some of my day to day shahagins to provide a journal for myself and a peak into life as I build this Juke Enterprises empire.

That being said.

It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized how much work needed to be done for me to launch this book and website by “new year.” It's definitely common for me to bite off what could be seen as "more than I can chew," but I'll just take a sip of juice and fork it down.

I’m just trying to be great… but I’’ve experience what getting up at 5AM can do for your day so I know this rolling out of bed at 10AM isn't going to cut it. 

Tomorrow's a new day and I'll get back to it.
