The other day, I was talking to some other entrepreneurs about the stresses and challenges of being in business for one’s self, and I was surprised that every one of them admitted that they frequently think about quitting and doing something less demanding. They choose to hang in there, however, because they know that they would feel bad about themselves for giving up, and would soon be bored walking an easy, unchallenging path. We all need to remember that even the most successful people often think about giving up all the time; then they nudge that thought aside in order to keep pursuing their goals and dreams. We may be honoring how we really feel by choosing an easy path, but I’d rather honor who I want to become by summoning the strength and courage to push toward higher ground.
