Once upon a time I had a landlord from hell, who told me what heaven was. “Where you are now!” he said. “You will look back on this time of struggle, when you didn’t know how or even if things would work out, as the very best time of your life.”
He was right. Actually he’s been right more than once. The last couple of years, for example, have been scary interesting for Darrell and me. This business is not for sissies. Which I am!
I keep thinking of a presentation I gave recently, to people who were wondering how to summon the courage to go after their dreams. “I have no idea,” I admitted. “I go to bed scared every night.”
Like so many of the people I admire most, though, I found something I’m more afraid of--a boring story. I have more in mind for myself than that.
And I hope the same is true for you.
Scary is also exciting…and fun. Take it from someone who’s never sure she’ll make it off the roller coaster alive. Then watch out, because you might get trampled in my rush to get back in line for another ride!
