Might not quite qualify as a toe tapper, but I thought of Mavidea when I heard it.
I have often used the “running against the wind” analogy when describing the process of starting a small business during one of the toughest recessions in recent history.
Two main thoughts run through my mind as I think about running against the wind.
First, every step of the way you get stronger. Adding that little (or a lot) bit of resistance builds up our strength.
Second….just wait until that wind turns. That strength and resilience built up during the hard times will make things feel so much easier when things change.
As with most things, this comes with a caveat. Wisdom and judgment must be used. Sometimes running against the wind is actually the worst course of action.
Ask yourself if it is worth it. Ask yourself if being stronger in that particular area is desirable. Look ahead and see if that end goal is worth it.
Make it a great day.
