Be patient.
There is nothing for it but to wait.
For the process takes as long as it takes.
For the necessary signatures to be obtained.
For the approval to be given.
It is out of your control.
But if it’s within your control.
Then no need to be so virtuous.
Streamline that process.
Rationalise the signature requirements.
Push approval levels down the hierarchy.
There is no time to delay.
“Patience is a virtue, and I’m learning patience. It’s a tough lesson.” – Elon Musk
You’ve broken the back of it.
You made it through a rough patch.
Persevered when it got hard.
Got over the hump.
Accomplished the challenge.
Passed the test.
Generated some momentum.
That’s great.
Now, you’ll need to do it again.
And again… and again …
You have energy to give.
Your time.
Your attention.
Your work.
So, who are you going to work with?
Ideally, someone with the same energy.
Someone that invites you in.
Someone who “gets it”.
Is on the same page.
Is ready.
Motivated.
Committed.
The work will be rewarding and fulfilling.
For the both of you.
Go where the energy is.
“Where focus goes, energy flows.” – Tony Robbins
You can wave a magic wand.
Look for silver bullets.
Attempt to harvest without planting.
Try a shortcut.
Not pay the price.
Search for the easy, the instant, or the fast.
And when you’re done with all that.
Then it’s time to do the hard work.
“There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.” – Roger Federer
You can be a maker.
A creator.
An originator.
You can make a plan.
Make a difference.
Make a ruckus (shout out to Seth Godin).
You can make a friend.
Make a suggestion.
Make a change.
You can even make a mistake.
You can make a point.
Make a commitment.
Make an assurance
You can make a choice, a decision, a resolution.
Make time for someone.
Make a vow.
You can make your dreams come true.
Whatever you would like to make, go make it happen.
“I like things to happen. And if they don’t happen, I like to make them happen.” – Winston Churchill
