Ya know, for the past 2 years I've been dooped by the myth of the infamous, "Blue Monday". It's been defined as the most depressing day of the year. Most people say that it's because it's the weekend where credit card bills from the holidays come rolling in, or some variety there of. However, I didn't spend a ton of money on Christmas stuff this year, and I didn't get astronomical credit card bills for January either. Yet, for the 2nd straight year, I'm feeling the "downer" of what's commonly known as "Blue Monday". Maybe it's because I had a long (yet good) weekend, or maybe it's because of something else. Whatever it is, right now I just wanna close my office door, and put my head down. But I can't, for several reasons....the most important is that I have a staff meeting in 2 mins....be back in a few...

Ok, I'm back. Staff meeting went well. We just had two job vacancies filled, so it was sort of an "introduction" meeting. Just the normal round table talk about who you are, where you're from, what company you came from, etc...
*Thought to remember*
One of these days I'm going to blog about my boss and the odd conversation we had this morning, about careers, money, and progression.
Anywhos, so here I am 9:25am, wondering why I get caught up in the Blue Monday issue. Maybe it's complacency. Yeah, I'd say that 85% of it is complacency. I just feel like I'm not doing enough; not making enough moves in life. Sometimes I feel like I'm short changing myself, sometimes even lying to myself in saying that everything is ok.
I don't know how other people handle it or deal with it, but I just feel as though God has given me more talents and annoitings than I use. It's really disheartening sometimes. So much, that it's not the easiest thing to explain. "Jaguar" calls it an over exaggeration of a "reality check" on myself. I don't think so, but maybe there is some middle ground there.
I just feel as though it's time to pick it up. Time to forge ahead, not so much as to outdo your opponents, but because I (you) have been granted the God given ability to do so.
Quote for the Day:
Run the Race as if you are the only one in it.
Help Others as if there is no sense of time.
Believe in yourself and don't lean on others approval
Live life as if Today is Tomorrow.

I feel like you were living in my head when you wrote this. I feel the same way. Not so much yesterday, but I've had the "Monday Blues" for the last few months!! The difference is that you're actually staying on track where I ventured off to some not-so-holy things. I'm finally back at the point where I'm ready to do what I know is right. As I'm looking to God for my next move, I'll pray that Hehelps you to move in His time too.
hey you...you alright?
