As entrepreneurs and professionals, we move along the uncharted territory. Nobody has lived our lives in our times before – we must discover our paths. Only we can do it, and nobody else can do it for us.
The rollercoaster continues, and it will continue no matter what. Life is impermanence, and that’s okay. That is the game, and we cannot change it.
You might have to go through a lot of experimentation and mistakes, but if you persevere and work through it all, you just might find that product or idea you have been searching for, just like we did.
Learning how to do something once is only half the story – the real gold is in improving these skills every day. We can improve everywhere – not just at work but also personally.
Unexpectedly, you will have those moments of remembering the why and ground yourself in the grandness of your vision.
The point is to get out of your comfort zone and find something new, often. You never know, you might find a new career or a new best friend. Sure, exploring takes time and effort, but the rewards can be life-changing.
Each year is an opportunity to take a step back, reflect on the prior year, and start afresh with new ideas and a new direction. Take the time to look back on 2022. And then let’s turn the page and start 2023, so that this year may be your strongest yet!
I still have lots of work to do, because we are onions with many different layers, and I can’t wait to see what other gifts I will find as I continue to grow and evolve.
We are like bamboo when they are starting to grow. Before growing, bamboo develops a complex root system below the ground, unseen. And then, when the bamboo’s roots are ready, the stalks shoot up, seemingly out of nowhere.
Ideas are important for growth, but I would argue that implementation is even more important. It is also very hard because sometimes it takes more than one try to get it right.
