Eating The Frog - Again

 Given the pretty rough year I've had I am attempting to reset myself and review life, the universe and all that good stuff!  Using the Wheel of Life system is one way to go about it and it has actually started my thinking off in the right direction.

The business and financial sections are OK, I know where I am but the personal life and home life sections?  Well, they are a different matter and oftentimes when you are looking in one direction you are ignoring what's behind and to the side of you.  These sections on the wheel are throwing up areas that I'd rather not go down but of course, that's what they are there for.  You have to reflect on all these aspects and the truth is, I don't really want to because I know that things aren't really right there.

So it's eat the Frog time.  No one wants to eat the Frog, it is green and brown and slimy and probably tastes awful but as we used to say, you need to go and do it and cannot continually kick the can down the road.

I have found the trauma and stress of the past 6 months to a year really bad for my health and I feel it more now than I ever did.  The decision before me now is one of flight or fight although not in an adrenaline fuelled way.  If I walk away and shut it all down will we ever know if it was a go-er or will it mean that I can just retire, wrap all this stuff up, have a bonfire and recycle all the rubbish, cancel all the other associated stuff?  If I make a go of it, how long for, what does success look like and when to call it a day?

The exercise to review this is useful but the personal stuff is not (to me).  The questions need answering as I don't want to be doing the right things for the wrong reason and vice versa.
