When we identify with form, it is a trap. “If my business does better, I feel better. If my business does worse, I feel worse.”
It is one of the great dualities of an emotionally healthy entrepreneur.
“I’ve learned to be both ambitious and content” – Jim Rohn
Accept what is, and save yourself all the heartache and stress. Not resignation. Not satisfaction. Acceptance.
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
– Apostle Paul in his “Think Daily” letter to the church at Philippi, Chapter 4, verses 11-13
I don’t believe there is such a thing as an emotionally healthy entrepreneur –
Acceptance is the tool we use to calm the storm so we can keep moving forward
Who said we must accept? In some cases I prefer to fight for the values I hold dear.
And a fight could be performed in many many different ways, acceptance is a temporary tool, a form of strategy.
