IT ALL CHANGES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE

Our business is one of the more (if not, most) volatile out there. The question "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" lives loud and clear with us on a daily basis. With that come some fairly unique pressures, especially on a daily basis now since our business has, technologically, changed so much in the past 10 years. It's very easy to carry the pressures and stress into other areas of your life. Leave it to an 11-year old to shed some very specific light on that. When you hear that this question had been asked, "Is Daddy going to be sad again tonight?", you definitely sit up and take notice. You realize what REALLY takes precedence in your life and it's not those everyday pressures. What those really represent are God's way of helping each of us grow. What you have to realize is that you will not be ultimately judged on how long or hard you worked; or how much profit you helped generate or how high your ratings have gone. You WILL be judged on how you treated your fellow human beings; on how much positive influence you have had on someone/anyone; on how much you loved and lived as a breathing example of the Christian ethic. When you put THAT all in perspective, those "sad" days will be disappearing faster than can you say "done"!
