On Dark Days
| Category: Home Based Business | Date: 2002-01-12 |
Most days we are excited by the prospect of prospering on the internet. We faithfully log on everyday and look to see if we have sales, fulfill those sales and spend some time promoting the business. Some days are better than others and some days are the absolute worst we believe we have ever experienced. If the worst days are limited to one every now and then we get past it and move on. But every once in a while we may go through a series of days that seem so dark that we may begin to lose hope that things will ever change. What do we do on dark days?
First and foremost, we must not lose site of the totality of our lives. As dedicated as we are to our business venture, it shouldnt take up all of our time. This creates an imbalance. And when that thing thats too consuming begins to falter we may head into despair. We need balance.
On dark days it may be necessary to pull away from the computer and do something else for a change. What about calling or visiting your family and friends who may have thought you have dropped off the face of the earth. See how they are doing. Talk about everything but the business. Enjoy yourself!
On dark days take a walk in the park. Watch little children play. I truly believe they hold the keys to true happiness in this world. We should be more like them. If the sun is shining they bask in it. If its raining outside they splash in the puddles. If its snowing they build snowmen and make angels. Whatever life brings them they find joy in it. If life brings you dark days, find a way to experience joy in the midst of it.
On dark days visit a mentor or if you dont have one establish a relationship with one. I guarantee you a seasoned businessperson has gone through many dark days. Share your thoughts, feelings and concerns with them. Listen to what they have to say. Gain wisdom and understanding from their experience.
The next time you sit at your computer, analyze your goals. Review your purpose. Reflect back on your accomplishments. Applaud yourself. Put a smile on your face and get going again. Dark days are never permanent situations. The sun always shines again.
