Seizing the Moment

Today's SparkPeople motivator:


Your dreams deserve better than a half-hearted effort. Meet your goals with a weak handshake and they'll soon be waving you goodbye. Since you probably don't want to look back on a life full of "almost made it" memories, it's time for total commitment. Leave it all on the field, don't hold anything back. Is there anything more satisfying than pouring out your entire being, straddling the cliff, reaching your total limit, then looking up and realizing that oh-my-gosh-I-can't-believe-I-really-did-it? And is there anything more tragic than failing and realizing you could have done more? If you feel "tuned out" of your current life, that's okay. Make your first goal to build a life that you can get "in"-to. Then don't look back. Make every day count and live purposefully, live energetically, live completely.


Can't get much more pertinent than this!

Stressing

I'm starting to stress about the move.

I'm definitely stressing about not having been able to find a buyer for my dining room set (price now lowered to $500!). I'm stressing about not feeling very good about any of the consignment options I'm seeing out there.

I'm stressed about not cooking this week, and not drinking enough water.

I'm stressed about my Dell DataSafe taking 60+ hours to back up and failing.

I'm stressing about my website for my practice -- even though that's off the schedule until the move is complete.

I'm stressing about the fact that Wolfling can't seem to keep track of her keys or her wallet.


I'm also excited about everything that's happening. I'm excited about my growing confidence about my business. I'me excited about the support and encouragement I'm getting. I'me excited about feeling and looking better.

I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed.
