Do What You Have to Do

Your life.  What is it worth to you?  Do you automatically do what you have to do to make it better?  Do you take continuous action working on you?  Do you concentrate on you?  Do you think about your life to the exclusion of everything else?

Or do you get busy doing what you want to do and need to do?

I have to admit that it takes me a long time to do the hardest stuff.  I can get a ton of easy stuff done.  But the hard work, the difficult tasks, the real dirty, messy stuff, I let go.

That's why it took me so long to leave my wife.  That's why it took me so long to start looking for better work.

That's why it took me years to finally go to court to get a restraining order against my ex-wife.  I talk about it in my podcast below -

You cannot have the kind of life you want unless you are willing to do what you have to do to make your life how you want it.

It is your life.  You need to do whatever it takes, whatever it takes, to get what you want.

Sometimes this is simple.  Much of life does not have to be that hard.  You put out a simple request and it manifests.

But sometimes, especially with extremely difficult people, you will have to expand massive effort to get your life how you need it to be.

This massive effort is hard.  It is so much easier to just sit back, relax, turn on the tv and do nothing.  But that does not get things done.  Difficult people are difficult for a reason.  They just persistently think they can run all over you.

It is almost like my ex-wife thinks that if she just keeps showing up I will take her back.  Her game seems to be, I will show up so often that he will just say, well as long as you are here, you might as well stay.

That would be what she wants.  An easy life of me doing everything for her and she gets to push me around all over again.

But that is the absolute last thing I want.

I have spent the last 6 years trying to get away and I will spend as much time as necessary to stay away from her.  I am prepared to spend the rest of my life staying away from her. 

This sounds terrible doesn't it?  The rest of my life?  But if she has in her mind to spend the rest of her life tormenting me, I will have to be in this for the long haul.

It is my blasted life after all.  I am not her slave to push around.  I am not here to take care of her and listen to her ravings and her rants.

I left her for a reason and the reason is still there.

I did what I had to do.  You need to do the same.
