I was talking to my son today about life.
Sometimes life, and a business venture, can leave you feeling cold, alone, void, colorless, hopeless, and with no end in sight.
Often, the answer, and the way to find the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is to:
- ask questions of trusted friends/family
- keep moving
- open lots of doors
- don't give up
Sometimes this means that you will find yourself down a rabbit hole with no course of action but to turn around.
But keep going. Don't sit down. If you do, gather your thoughts, stand back up, and press on.
Life, business, and relationships are all on a moving track. If you jump off the track, you will find yourself hopelessly frustrated.
If you find yourself moving, but also constantly frustrated, perhaps you are blind to something in your life, or your business, and you need the counsel of a good friend.
Remember the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing, over, and over, and over, and expecting a different result.
A good many, in today's tough economic climates are looking for light at the end of the tunnel.
Son, if it makes you feel any better, I am bopping around those damp, dark, cold halls myself right now, as we are building this new business. The advantage I bring to this task is my 20+ years of additional life. I have learned that the quest is fun, and with persistence any task can be very rewarding.
Keep plodding. Most will sit down. Keep plodding.
