Today is a day of mixed emotions for me. It is Father’s Day, but today also marks the 10 year anniversary of my father’s death.

I am generally not surprised when I identify things I need to work on in my life. Hustling, however, was not at all on my radar as a potential problem.

It wasn’t until recently that I started to question what it meant to be a hustler and if -buzz or no buzz- this was something I wanted to continue to identify with.

This year, we are doing things differently. We are re-thinking this holiday season and focusing on what it’s really about.

And if we must shop, we are going to support a small business.

I am not trying to encourage you to go on a quitting frenzie and drop everything in your life. Staying many times is the best choice we can make.

Badass quitters select out only what is no longer working. We quit what’s not good for us because we are committed to our happiness.

I used to be a runner, both literally and figuratively.
