When we were young and had nothing, we were excited to make progress, and get results that were much smaller than what we have become used to in recent years. Then we had a set back. Maybe it was the market, but more likely we screwed up some how, and business, income and operations shrank.
Making the same progress for the second time isn’t as exciting – but that’s because of our state of mind about it. The second (or third) time around can be just as exciting as the first – if we make it so. And since we are smarter now, we should be able to “get there” faster, and move through to new heights – this time, more sustainably.
The second time is a charm.
I’m experiencing this now.
So is the third, fourth, fifth time and as many times as it takes. The living is in the striving.
