Some days are long and hard, but good nonetheless. In fact, often those are the days that are the most rewarding.

You ever have one of those days that just kicks your butt.

I love beautiful sunsets after long hard days of getting it done.

You stumble off to bed, 100% deadbeat tired?

You know the type of day I mean, the kind of day that’s hard, darn hard. The kind of day that sucks all the life out of you.

Those are hard days, really hard. Sometimes those are the best days. Sometimes those are the days when you head hits the pillow; you fall fast asleep almost immediately knowing that you nailed it. Knowing that the work you’re doing matters, and the effort you are making will make a difference.

Some days are hard; they exhaust you, you’re not really sure if all the effort was even worth it.

Often those days should be few and far between.

If those days ARE often, if you’re having a hard time seeing how the struggle is even worth it, then maybe you need to think through why you’re even doing what you’re doing.

I believe each one of us has a special blend of gifts that allow us to make a positive impact in the world. We all have something to contribute, we all have a piece of the puzzle. NONE of us have the whole puzzle, we need each other, but we do have a piece, and our piece is important.

You might feel like you’re not important, and you know what, I’m not going to sugar coat it, you might not be. You might be totally insignificant. If you are though, it’s 100% because you have chosen that path. It’s NOT because you don’t have anything valuable to offer.

That’s a lie that too many believe. It’s 100% NOT true.

It might be time for you to start to become important, it might be time for you to use your skills, your gifts, your passions. It might be the first time you’ve even done so, but it’s time.

Look forward to the hard days, because often the hard days are good. Often the hard days are the best days.

So here’s to the hard days, to your purpose, to meaning something, making an impact, and getting deadbeat tired doing it.

Onward,
