What is unclear here with Maya is whether this was an epiphany about herself or about our world.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. – Maya Angelou

Because everyone knows our world needs some work.

But who knows about the change we need to initiate?

No one? Not even us?

Seriously?

Rut roe.

Ya with me?

What triggers an epiphany?

A blog comment recently acted as a catalyst for a brand new thought…

What allows people to not quit on a daily basis? For nearly all of us, quitting seems like a decent choice at least once a day. Could the antidote be having a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future?

And here’s the epiphany:

Without the vision of what our future looks like, every mountain we climb offers us a view in which we then say, “Nah, that’s not it”.

We need to be clear about what we’re journeying to otherwise the mountain climbing gets old.

This happens in business all the time.

PS. This is from personal experience only.

Rome was not built overnight

Rome was not built overnight.

Neither were our dreams.

And how important is attitude for the Romans and for us?

What about persistence to never quit?

And daily temptation to quit?

Never get bored with the basics.

Seriously, this is like for every single day we are alive.

Like today.

Yes of course she’s weird

Yes of course she’s weird:

  • Only one on team to test drive everything we offer our customers
  • Only one driving an antique car every day
  • Only one who who weighs the same she did in high school
  • Only one who starts every single day on her knees
  • And, she is preparing to die so that her remaining days alive are regret free

She is very intentional where others are not.

Bit of a freak to be honest.

And so at peace.
