Or weeks in my case,
This week is a bit rough for me. Classes are in full swing and the work is starting to look daunting. Jazz Concert was great; nailed my solo, but that's not enough to keep my spirits high. Recently I injured my back at work, but did not notice symptoms until after my seasonal employment ended. So now I have to pay for everything myself, no workers comp.
Being a student is hard enough without the looming doom of financial crisis. Now I'm receiving more bills in the mail (that I did not see coming) and my finances are feeling squished. God I hope that this whole "government medical funding" issue is resolved soon so people can start feeling the relief that was promised. Workers compensation, Insurance Coverage, Cobra, etc. are all very confusing and there seems to be little guidance out there that doesn't have a steep price-tag.
With all of this piling up, its obvious why I don't feel so chipper. But I have had another oblivious epiphany moment. You don't have to be happy all the time.
I've been fighting and pushing myself to achieve happiness and its been an uphill battle. It is a simple balance in nature that governs why this is so. Just as in the absence of Good, there can be no Evil. Without sadness what would happiness be? Its the eb and flow, the yin yang. Everything in this world moves in cycles and being an audio engineer I should've known this.
A sound wave travels up and down like any wave. There is a low point and a high point and plenty in between. Such is our daily lives. We have to have lows so we can have highs. It doesn't mean we have to succumb to being miserable in our lows. It means that every moment is passing and the passing of every moment brings us closer to the next. This is an obvious idea, but I often overlook it.
It is not necessary to be happy all the time,
but it is necessary to be Positive all the time.
Negativity doesn't do anybody any good, and to give energy to it would be taking steps backwards.
So heres to the bad times that bring us towards the good.
For some ways to get through "those" kinda days check this out.

theres more to it than You think
The Official Project Rockstar 2010 Announcement is out. I have been reading the Rockstar blogs and am impressed. I had heard about it the past two years but never gave myself the opportunity to endulge. All of the Rockstars were very interesting, but one really blew me away. I now see why he was picked for the Project. He goes by whim. This guy is around my age and really has his shit together. From the video application I learned that he is a successful entrepeneur like Starlight. He has started businesses that rake in over $60,000 a year (by now its shooting towards the millions). He is incredibly efficient and organized and has intriguing insights. If I could, I would shadow him for a day to just pick his brain about his habits for Health, Wealth, and Love.
I know how off the charts my motivation can be, especially when given the right tools for success. -whim has these tools. Being secluded in smalltown PA I haven't gotten much exposure to things such as Affiliate Marketing. I keep hearing Affiliate Marketing here and there and until now was unaware(consciously) that it existed. I guess I never stopped to think about it, but it is kinda obvious. I just added a new goal to my list: Learn Affiliate Marketing. Bonsai has mentioned it plenty on his blog and sometime I may be able to sit down with him and whim to gain a better understanding of creating a successful business.
Becoming a LoveSystems Instructor is a strong goal, but the title of this blog isn't Instructor Development. There are so many facets to creating the lifestyle I know I deserve. But now I realize how much more to it there is. I'm not only going to become skilled socially, but I also plan to become independently wealthy, reach peak physical fitness, start my own online business, own and run a club/restruant, and much more.
Graduating school and having a solid job lined up after is a good start, but my glass ceiling just shot up about 1,000,000 ft higher. I mean come on.
This is my LIFE we're talking about here, and no matter what, I'm going to make it the best-life and my best-self as possible. This is only the beginning...
