Everything is Great...
...right up until it's not.
I'm struggling here, folks.
My mantra has been "live well to tweet well"
...for a very long time.
I said it, I believed it, I FELT it.
I still do.
The problem is...
I HAVEN'T been living it.

Parts of it? Sure.
Many parts of it? Yes, daily.
Some days more than others.
Lately, however, I have been falling far short.
My Priorities are:
1. My family (wife-kids-parents)
2. My health
3. My profession/business
As my Twitter has grown-->#3 has taken precedence.

My health and my family have defined me...
...for my entire life.
-I thought these were guaranteed
-I thought that I had these dialed in
-I thought that they were solid, so solid that...
ATTENTION TO THEM WAS UNNECESSARY.
I was wrong.
Very wrong.

My motivation was PURE.
I want to create wealth...
...so that my family and I can:
-do what we want
-when we want
-with whomever we want
-for as long as we want
This won't change for me.
But, I need to readjust how I am going to attack this Twitter thing.

I read an email this morning from @DallenReber.
It was a very good email.
In it he said that you don't want to replace your 9-5 with another 9-5.
That hit home for me.
I had not only done that, I had done one better.
I had replaced it with a 5am-9pm.

My kids have noticed
My parents have noticed
My body has noticed
And now, finally, I HAVE NOTICED.
Now it is my responsibility to change.
It is my responsibility to get better.

Why am I telling you all of this?
To vent a bit, sure.
But mostly as a service to you.
If you are struggling, know that others are too.
If you're not perfect, know that others aren't either.
I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm just gonna get better.
