As I make my way through my daily routine, in my office building, on elevators, in hallways and parking lots and supermarket aisles, I’m always struck/disappointed by how many people are unwilling to exchange acknowledgments — much less pleasantries — with one another.
When you’re dealing with something difficult, there’s a belief that you shouldn’t get too down. That the best thing you can do is plaster over the pessimism with positivity.
But sometimes, as I’ve learned, you’re in need of a good wallowing.
You have to be committed.
That’s what anyone will tell you — and what we all know — is required for success.
It’s also what’s required when you’re breaking the rules.
It’s OK to not feel successful.
In fact, it might be better if you don’t. Because that’s what leads to more success.
Do you have a recurring dream?
I have two, and both are unpleasant. The only good part is they allow my subconscious brain tackle issues my conscious mind is too scared to touch.
