I met this really inspiring man yesterday. Having lost everything, including his business and his family, he re-evaluated his whole life. This ultimately led him to set up a charity and business to help others, to which he is now 110% committed.
What he said really struck a cord with me, "The more I know I'm never going to give up, the easier it gets to climb every hurdle in the way."
This is as true about business as it is about relationships, bringing up children, studying for a qualification or any other human endeavour.
I realised that until I have embraced anything completely, every hurdle gave me an opportunity to reconsider my 'exit strategies'. In those areas of my life where I am completely committed, the hurdles may be an inconvenience, but they never leave me thinking about quiting.
In fact, it's the opposite: I have found that those hurdles have brought depth to my relationships, taught me new skills, and even opened up new career opportunities to me.
