War. Economic concerns. Negative news. Worrying times for business owners?
It looks and feels bad, doesn’t it?
But this is to remind you that we’ve lived, survived, and prospered though far worse.
Consider what Gandhi once said: “When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it…”
Life will always have ups and downs. The secret is to go with the flow. In every panic, in every generation, men and women, with eyes wide open, saw and seized opportunities.
Circumstances don’t make you, YOU make you. This might become the greatest period of prosperity for you.
In 1907 the famous tycoon John Rockefeller said: “People sometimes talk as if we older men lived in a day of peculiar opportunity, as if there were no chance today for a young man to do what has been done by my generation of men, as if all the avenues were closed, all the big things done. Nothing could be more mistaken. Why, the time in which I opened my eyes was a midnight of darkness, and this is blazing noon”
A word to the wise: Listen, act, and prosper. There are opportunities around you.
