No one likes problems, right?
But here’s the thing…
without problems,
ANYONE can fill your role.
It is really easy to be
an author/entrepreneur/leader/friend/expert
when everything is going well,
when a story drips off your fingertips,
an idea is immediately embraced by customers,
or
everything agrees with your stance.
What makes your place in the world
perfect for you
is…
You overcome the challenges.
You fix the mistakes.
You calm the frightened.
You inspire the lethargic.
I spent two weeks
writing and rewriting and rewriting
5,000 words.
I eventually fixed that part of the story
and when it was fixed,
I grinned
because I knew
many writers would have quit
but I didn’t
and THAT is why I’ll be a successful writer.
Yes, don’t look for problems
but when problems arise
(and they WILL arise),
knew THEY are
why you’re the success you are
(or will be).
