Flip This Wholesaler

Well, after 2 full days of sitting around wallowing in self pity, I finally snapped out of it. Good thing, as I was starting to get a little worried about myself. That doesn't happen very often, but things were looking pretty bleak. Actually, they still look bleak, but I managed to tap into that fight that I have inside of me that just will not let me give up. For a little while I thought about giving up, and saying screw this whole wholesaling bs- I'm done. But I'm too stubborn to just throw in the towel. Not sure how many times since I started this blog that I have been at this point, but every time it turns out the same. I just flat out refuse to give up.

My best friend that I live with put a book on the kitchen counter this morning. He told me to read it, and that it would make me feel better. It is a book about the Holocaust called, "By Bread Alone." This is obviously not a feel-good story, but reading something like it makes you really put things into perspective. How bad do I really have it- living in America, with a roof over my head, friends and family that love me, my health, and the possibility of doing whatever it is that I want to if I just keep at it? Makes me feel like an idiot for sitting around feeling sorry for myself when I have so much.

Tomorrow eve I am meeting with a friend to ask for a business loan. Basically it's more of a "save my ass" loan, but he knows how hard I have worked up to this point, and knows I will pay it back, so I think it should be OK.

While I was walking through the grocery store today feeling horrible, it dawned on me that I am in the midst of what all of those people are talking about when they say that if you want to be successful you have to be persistent. They aren't talking about having 1 or 2 rejections, or a couple of things going wrong. They are talking about keeping on when you really feel like you can't..... getting up again when you are so sick and tired of getting up that it almost makes no sense to keep going. I guess this is what the Calvin Coolidge quote that I have taped to my computer monitor is talking about.
