I know what you\u2019re thinking. MONDAY? Is he serious?<\/p>\n<p>I understand your confusion but you see, despite the seemingly undying trials and setbacks coming our way on a day to day basis, there are those moments when, for some bewildering reason, \u201ceverything is right with the world.\u201d You\u2019ve achieved some goals, you\u2019ve experienced some success, you have a plan for the future (if only for the very near future), and you\u2019re all-in-all happy with the way things are going.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s times like these that need to be cherished. Don\u2019t let them pass you or your business by. Share your success and happiness with those who have helped make things the way they are today. I\u2019m speaking of family members, friends, partners, and employees. Also, don\u2019t forget yourself. You\u2019ve had a lot of help along the way, but without you, the feeling you\u2019re experiencing doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>Appreciate the feeling, but also remember that it will soon dissipate if you are not prepared for the next twist that life is going to throw you. You may think that diving into a pool of pudding is refreshing and tasty at first. However, without a disciplined plan to return to normal circumstances, you may end up trying to eat your way out of the muck.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; margin-left: 10px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"vertical\" data-url=\"http:\/\/joe-mangum.com\/2010\/10\/swimming-in-chocolate-pudding\/\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script> <fb:like href=\"http%3A%2F%2Fjoe-mangum.com%2F2010%2F10%2Fswimming-in-chocolate-pudding%2F\" show_faces=\"false\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 15px 0px; clear:both;\"><\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever woke up on a Monday morning feeling content and ready to tackle a new week.
