Success Means Working Through The Pain

I threw my back out last night somehow. I wasn’t trying to. It just happened. The problem is… I have a lot of work to do and sitting at my desk and even typing this well, hurts badly. I’m in a lot of pain.

It’s a great reminder to me, however, that the show must go on. I cannot afford to lay myself up for two days icing my back. Therefore… I must work through the pain. This is business and I’ve got stuff to do!

Look, it’s not always going to be easy, but as I said earlier, the show must go on. Back pain, or emotional pain, or distractions, they all don’t matter. You have a job to do and darn it, it’s going to get done. The strong and most successful don’t stop. They press on. They accomplish their goals in times of distress.

I’m going to put in a full day today because I know I have to, back pain or not. I can rest tonight.

Sure, it sucks, but I’m running a business. Just another sacrifice that I have to make.

  • Yeah, it does get tough sometimes and yet the fact that we have to continue on regardless, means that we love it! You're right Jim, the show has to go on and anything else is just not 100%.
  • I had gotten knee surgery a few months back, and I had to work. Although it sucked, I got through it and didn’t have to play catch up.

    But, what does not kill you makes you stronger. Good job.
  • Back pain is awful, I've suffered from it on and off all my life. I never knew whether it was best to rest or keep moving, so in the end I probably did neither properly. Then 10 years ago I started gardening. I've had hardly any trouble since, so perhaps keeping going is the right thing to do. Good luck.
  • Great advice and very true. If you haven't experienced a little pain (not necessarily physical!), you probably haven't tried hard enough.
