In today’s post I am going to unleash my strains and deepest pains and you'll see how I'm quite insane. I will pick your brain and bring on the rain, and if there’s something inside that I want to explain.. you can be sure that I will not refrain. It is true what they say, success is made of 90% failure, and 90% of that leaves the bloodiest stains.
Life moves faster than one could ever anticipate. One moment we feel the gratification of a particular success, the next twelve moments we’re torn down by the massive chains of reality.
The question I want to know right now is how do our mentors and successful predecessors cope with all of this? How do they manage their family relationships and ties within society? What kind of a sturdy heart they possess, one that viciously combats the hard hits of life as an entrepreneur. What sort of wisdom does one compile, day after day, year after year, repeatedly eating shit and sustaining battlefield arrows headed straight for the head?
So what did you think? Did you think that entrepreneurship would give you a good life? Did you think you’d be respected by everyone and get the girl/guy of your dreams? Did you think that you would raise kids who’d be proud of you as a parent with this lifestyle? Did you think it would give you more time to connect with yourself and the divine? Did you think that that entrepreneurship would have you partying on yachts and retiring early? You’re fucking mistaken. You’ll never get there. Even if you do, you’ll be 65 before you achieve anything significant.
Now I’m not sure who that was, talking up there.. But it certainly wasn’t me. It was an individual voice of consequence that we all hear when we feel like perhaps we haven’t made the right decisions. It is the cold blizzard of reality, the quick-sands of failure.
Here I am, home alone on Steemit, with a cigarette burning on the ashtray. Tonight is rough. Nights like tonight happen. But tomorrows bring new opportunities. They bring new ways of doing things just a tad bit different, a tad bit better.
If you can relate, I commend you for being a warrior and fighting through your lows, as I am in mine. I highly appreciate your time here with me today. I would ask for you to bookmark this post and share it with any entrepreneur who gets beat down by life. When that day comes, I will be here to help that person get through it.
NOTE: Please acknowledge that this post exaggerates the emotional aspect about the way I feel today as an entrepreneur. The climb to success sure is bumpy, but we need those rocks on the mountain in order to condition our muscles to master mountain climbing.....
