Just when you need it

The first thing I heard when I woke up this morning was news that President Obama had selected the worst possible candidate to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency.  The woman he as selected is the worst nightmare for business and profitability under the guise of "protecting the consumer".     FEAR immediate grabbed my gut because I have everything on the line financially and failure will result in completely starting over at less than zero at 45 years old with millions in debt.

Then, 1 hour later as I was trying to focus on one email at a time and one rung on my ladder at a time, CNBC comes on with Bernie Marcus, founder of Home Depot.  I can't quote the entire interview but the meat of it was exactly what I needed to turn my fear into resolve this morning.  This guy came from where I am today and struggled through the same stages we are dealing with today and he made it.  

I believe this inspiration was a little lift from above that I needed this morning.  Saying "don't give up. stay the course. you can do it."
