Chances

Today I was thinking of what makes working for yourself an easy task. There are definitely tough aspects of it, but then I got to thinking specifically about the person I am and the trouble I had when working for other people. I’m not the type of person who looks like they know what they are talking about when it comes to this web and technology thing. I’m not the type of person that walks into a room and people turn and nod assuredly knowing that I’ve done wonderful things that they can only dream of.

I was never that person and never will be that person. I’m the person that has to prove himself and help people see past the outward appearance. I’m the type of person that can make you laugh and have a good time, but if you want to talk serious then I might need to sit down at a computer and type it out.

On paper am I qualified to run a company? Not in the slightest. Maybe a lemondae stand, but only during seasons when it is guaranteed someone will buy the lemonade. Do I think I could step into a position at a major company and take on a leadership role? Most certainly.

Sometimes you go on your own because there are obstacles you would rather avoid and if that means taking the tougher road then so be it because at least you have yourself to depend on. It may not be because you have the greatest idea in the world or because you have enough cash lined up to take the chance. There may come a time where you can’t take one aspect of your life and the only change you can make is the one that makes the least amount of sense to everyone around you.

You see sometimes you only need one reason to take a leap even if nobody else agrees with that reason. As corny as it sounds sometimes you really do have to follow your heart and where it is trying to guide you. Using our brains can get us into trouble believe it or not and force us to take a path we know we will not be happy with.

This entry wasn’t meant to have a purpose except for those people who walk away with something from it. If you don’t get it then just move along and maybe I will write a piece you understand next week.
