I am not exactly sure why I started looking at some old pictures on my phone tonight...
But somehow I got to July 16th, 2016 and this one popped up!
This year, I felt like I was on top of the world....
The previous summer, I got married to the woman of my dreams. We owned a nice home, nothing too fancy but it was ours. My home office truly was my sanctuary. I was creating content, marketing my businesses and building what I thought was going to be an epic future.
The face in that picture screams excitement. Little did I know....My life was about to become extremely uncomfortable lol
But what came from the fallout was the discovery of this blockchain!
I've been outside my comfort zone now going on 7 years now but this lesson always hits me. You see, for me....When you are comfortable, nothing changes. And without change, you cannot grow.
Because I was 'comfortable' in that picture, I was not ready for the trials that were headed my way. Now that I am outside of that zone...I truly feel like I can climb any mountain. Adversity really does build character and I do hope I'm a better man now than I was all those years ago.
Nothing too deep tonight, just an picture with a great message, a smiling face...And the knowledge of that if you don't get uncomfortable every day in your online business, you may never be able to survive the storms that are surely headed your way.
