Second.. I have very sore eyes &#8216;cuz its past midnight and I was supposed to be in bed a LONG time ago. Things just didn&#8217;t quite work out for me..<\/p>\n<p>I began the day on fire. Got a BUNCH of stuff done in the early morning. I worked on Amae&#8217;s site, then moved on, finishing things off on my list left and right.. around 2 or so I had lunch and kept on rolling.<\/p>\n<p>..then it started happening.<\/p>\n<p>I began to run out of things to do. Restlessness set in.. I felt I wasn&#8217;t accomplishing things. There was so much that could still be done and I wasn&#8217;t doing it.<\/p>\n<p>So time went on. My girlfriend came on and we talked for awhile.. I tried to explain what I was going through and didn&#8217;t make much sense of it. Looking back now, it was all pretty silly.. and she was absolutely awesome about it. She supported me, even though I wasn&#8217;t thinking straight.. she let me know that she loved me and that she knew I&#8217;d figure it out. Then she gave me time to work.<\/p>\n<p>A few hours had passed since the feelings had started.. that restlessness.. that feeling of unsatisfication. Now my girlfriend had just left and I was feeling different.. I felt this energy surging through me.. I didn&#8217;t know WHAT to do but I had to do something..<\/p>\n<p>Then I was talking to Derek, my partner in Hostingfrog. He was asking me questions about Hostingfrog which I wasn&#8217;t able to answer.. even down to the simple ones like.. &#8216;who is our audience?&#8217;.. I realized that I didn&#8217;t have the vision. I realized that I had many of the pieces figured out, but I didn&#8217;t have the vision!<\/p>\n<p>This completely woke up me.. how could I not have figured this stuff out? I have a responsibility here and, despite my best intentions, I&#8217;d been slacking! This is my business and its time I started treating it like one.<\/p>\n<p>So, I busted out a new word document and began writing. 6 pages later I stopped and took it to paper.. I wrote.. wrote.. and kept writing.. Its about an hour or so later now and I&#8217;m just finishing this journal up.. My girlfriend got online to check up on me and I realized that she was getting sick. She hadn&#8217;t been feeling well for a few days now, but I hadn&#8217;t made the connection. Now she has a really nasty cold, and she hadn&#8217;t told me anything about it.. She said she knew I&#8217;d stop working if I knew.. mmm =\\.<\/p>\n<p>That really takes a lot.. and now I&#8217;m ashamed for not having picked up on it, and amazed that she wouldn&#8217;t say anything. She wanted to make sure that I kept things going and that I got things done.. She&#8217;s been my strongest support, never doubting me, always being there, always lifting me up. Without her, I wouldn&#8217;t be writing this today. I thank God for her, and not nearly enough.<\/p>\n<p>Remember those who mean the most to you.. the ones that you take for granted. They&#8217;re always there for you.. they love you and they support you.. don&#8217;t forget them! Let them KNOW how much you care.. take care of them. When everything else goes crashing around you, they&#8217;re still there.. they know you.. they won&#8217;t give up on you.<\/p>\n<p>Alright.. time for this tired young man to get some rest.. got another huge day tomorrow. I just finished my &#8216;master list&#8217;.. and I&#8217;m good to go!<\/p>\n<p>Goodnight world :)<\/p>\n<p>-Jonathan Wold<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Action Step:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Realizing how important the people in my life are.. and how much I still have to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all.. today was a business wake up call.
