Listening to Bud Brigham talk about the life that he has lead and the experiences he has had was really interesting to me. When he discussed his youth and family life growing up, I thought about how that could have really been a setback. His father died of alcoholism when he was 19, leaving him as the oldest child of a fatherless family and without any kind of a role model. It made me very grateful for the family that i did have growing up and the wonderful examples of fathers and husbands in my life.
While talking about life, he mentioned that through a study of philosophy he came to understand that it was a virtuous thing for him to become the best version of himself that it was possible to be. I hadn't ever connected those thoughts before, but it makes complete sense. Changing to a more spiritual line of thought, the best version of myself would certainly be very Christ-like. Christ-like living is most certainly virtuous and leads to many other blessings and future rewards. I have a renewed commitment to become the best "me" that I can be, for both me and my family.
As far as my $100 challenge goes, this week was a little disappointing. I've been really excited about the project for many weeks now and this was my first slump. I made virtually no headway with any of the potential clients I have contacted and thus am no closer to starting this business. I did have possible lead-generating conversations with a couple of co-workers who said they would mention my project to a few friends who owned businesses, so that's the silver lining on the week. Hopefully there will be wonderful things to report next week, like my first client.
