I haven’t written in a long time. I have started many a blog that way, I realize that. Got me thinking, why? Why do I write so much less then I used to? I think I have been in a bit of a funk. Things are going great right now, please don’t get me wrong. Life is actually pretty awesome. I just can’t seem to find the personal spark right now. I know it’s right there, just sitting there waiting. I am trying to make some big decisions right now, life changing, business changing, health changers. I know I need to spend some time with me, all alone, with my journal and figure it out. Change is ok. Scary and uncomfortable but good. I need to be ok with that. I hope that when I get through this process I am much clearer then I am now.
If there is a lesson in all of this I think it’s ok to uncomfortable with stuff. I also believe that any good leader is always learning and growing. HERE IS BIG NEWS, you aren’t perfect. Far from it. No one is. I meet people all the time, even some that work with me that believe that they have it all figured out. They don’t. They really don’t. That’s a hard lesson to learn. Just when you get comfortable, you should force yourself to be uncomfortable. That where the growth happens. I also continue to be reminded that the grass isn’t always, in fact rarely is, greener on the other side. Grow where you are planted, shine even on those cloudy days and be ok with change, in fact embrace it.

This is a hard lesson to learn. Sometimes people think “I would be happier if…” and than when things change and they become uncomfortable, they reject the change.
I am making some decisions right now myself that may result in some changes, and I think that’s okay! In fact, I’m excited, and I’m sure what’s to come will be great no matter what happens!
Thanks for the post Stu, I missed your blog!

There is often a few things i think about when some sort of change or funk hits me or if i get stressed. I usually think ... other people go through this stuff too - im not alone. i also reach out others, that spark youre talking about, i get mine from other people! maybe not what they say but i get it from talking with them, laughing or hearing about their life its weird but it works! Change is inevitable - and realy gets me through understanding that alll will turn around is to lean on the fact that change is constant. Whatever mood im in, or struggle or even happy time i am having is going to change. All i can do is accept that time as it is there, journal about , be aware of it cuuzzzz its gonna change!
