Life can slap you in the face, and running a business is frequently hard.
There are times when we feel like our back is against the wall and we have no other options.
Illness, divorce, death, disability, or other hardships can take over our lives and taint our worldview.
And it seems like there's no way out, around, or through.
Then there are times when we do have options but we adhere to the status quo, assigning our dream life to someday or someone else.
We have a short amount of time in our bodies, so we need to make bold decisions towards peace and happiness whenever we can.
Creating a life with real meaning needs to be our priority. And this becomes more obvious and important the older we get.
Working ourselves to the bone, or wasting precious time living a subpar life can no longer be tolerated.
And if we are tolerating it, we need to ask ourselves why. What makes this okay?
I recently watched a video with a woman who makes an astronomical amount of money. She boasted that she works up to 18 hours a day.
I cringed when I heard her say that, and I felt sorry for her too. Money is necessary, and it's important to have. Try going without it and see how you feel.
But when that's all your life is about, you've lost your way.
Life is about balance. And our businesses need to reflect this too.
It's what money does for us that assists with our happiness, and when you really internalize this, you are free to pursue money in a balanced and healthy way.
Making bold decisions is always scary. After all, you're being bold. You're taking a calculated risk towards a better future.
A future filled with experiences and people that bring you joy and happiness. And a sense of purpose.
And then you can take aligned actions filled with inspiration, so when you look back on your life, you'll know you lived it well.
