Most look at today as a holiday – a time for rest. I, however, view this Labor Day as a time to separate from who I used to be.
I used to be lazy.
I used to sleep in.
I used to take days off for no reason.
I used to work for money, alone.
I used to think of me before I thought of you.
I must work today. I need to be a model for my daughter during these times where most are complaining about lack, about what our country has lost, and what we used to have. She will NOT have a victim’s mentality! She will grow up, instinctively knowing that her future is what she makes, not what the circumstances or others say she’ll make.
So, yes … today I will work, not because I’m obsessed with “work,” but rather to show Logan that while others whine about what they don’t have, our family creates what we will have!
What did you gain from this post?
A deeper understanding and love for the power of motivation.
