Family Rocks!

No matter how hard it gets or how much success I have in business, I can always look at the family God has given me and be content no matter what!

I have a journal that I write in every weekday morning before I get started with my work day. It’s mostly focused on business stuff - goals, how a meeting went the day before, excitement about a new idea, frustration that something didn’t go as planned, etc. 

I’ve been keeping a journal now for about a year and a half. Not only is it good for me to get things written down and out of my head, but it’s also fun/interesting/convicting to go back through it to see how things have progressed (or not), what I was thinking during certain times…just a good snapshot of what I’ve been through.

One theme I’ve noticed I keep going back to, over and over again: 

FAMILY

Although I write a lot about work and what’s going on, what’s causing me trouble, what gets me excited, and what I’m striving to achieve, I often write something related to WHY I’m doing it all - and that comes back to family. 

I love my wife and kids more than I could ever explain. No matter how hard it gets or how much success I have in business, I can always look at the family God has given me and be content no matter what! And, I’m grateful for that.
