Trial By Fire: Evolution Out Of Necessity
I’ve been told that most great advances have been out of necessity. I guess my next advancement is no different. I have truly a ton of information and tasks to do and almost no help. It will be my own personal evolutionary leap to take myself and my company to the next level with the resources I have and my own ingenuity. I believe that this is probably the quickest way to advance but also the most painful. Many people back off and give up when they are up against so much pressures. It’s when people step up and take the full force of a challenge that they become the next strongest person they can be. It’s when people back off and give up when they regress or become stagnant.
I’m sure this philosophy has made those who care about me think I’m constantly putting too much stress on myself and that eventually I will break. On the contrary, eventually I will find a way to figure out the problems, advance and learn to defer the stress. I’ve had friends who say I approach things very non-emotional and that it gives me a very inhuman quality. I’ve tried to press on to others that getting emotional doesn’t solve problems. It usually creates problems. If I feel something, I accept that feeling and understand that most negative outcomes are things that I could have prevented. If I feel negative I accept that the path I chose lead me to that negative feeling and take responsibility for that. This way, I’m always in control. I can never be a victim to any one or any external thing. I feel I’ve probably went over this in my blog before but I like talking about it because I see so many others fretting over their individual issues and feeling victimized. It bothers me because I see their pain is self-inflicted and no matter what I say they will continue to feel like they do and make it more difficult for themselves to move past issues. I don’t like seeing others in pain when I know they can prevent it as most people don’t.
