Ep 135 - Sweat Equity

I have lived in and owned this house for a month and a half now, but I haven't truly felt like I owned it. It just felt like the place I was living now. My wife has done a lot of work on the house, but I have mostly just worked in the house. My focus is my business and all the things I need to do to be able to pay for my share of the mortgage. Last night, it started snowing, and I went out to do a bit of shoveling. In shoveling the snow at MY house, I started to feel like it was MY house. As humans, we are hard wired that work should involve muscles. Things that we do only with our brains don't always feel like our work in the same way. I think this is some of where the sense of satisfaction in good, hard, physical labor comes from. Your body feels like it did something triggering the brain to say "good work!"
