Rereading what you wrote down during the lowest periods of your life is eye-opening. For someone that does not particularly like the low side of life, it sure does hit me hard when it does.
Escaping from the reality of a situation makes the probability of reliving the moment and NOT making any changes much higher than it should be.
You can’t run away from a similar situation if you’re oblivious to how far you had to dig to get out of it.
If your business is in a slump, remember it. As costly and time consuming as that activity of non-repairation is; it is just as essential.
You mould your life around the mistakes you’ve made. We are all just well-dressed mistakes that got out of the pattern. That found a loophole out of the situation.
Keep records of your failures. Whether it is a bill you just finished clearing, the jeans you no longer fit in, the sales you lost during your time of remission… you lose nothing from learning from yourself.
Motivational speakers will tell you what is possible, but the true motivation comes from the person that forgot their lines in the presentation or the one that got scammed because they didn’t do enough research into their business partner. True growth and appreciation for growth comes from one’s lowest moments because we fear being in that place again.
Me, a week ago:
It’s a whole thing and it is breaking me.
Right now I am less than I’ve ever been. I can’t process thoughts. My fatigue is visible and I am crashing into everything that means anything to me.
I cannot completely express this because there are some things that need to be worded carefully… but all in all, I am weak and tired. I’m here anxious and overwhelmed. Looking like yesterday, and I have no control over anything.
