PREPARE YOURSELF
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”-William Shakespeare, The Tempest
What are you working on?
Yes, you are attempting to have an endless summer to make up for lost time. Yes, you are able to travel more freely. Yes, you may be at the beach or the lake or even just on the couch, relaxing.
But what are you working on?
Each and every one of us has some work to do, some inner tasks that must be strived for.
I don’t mean some time sensitive project that is due at the office or some school assignment that needs to be turned in by a certain deadline. But something meaningful. Something that elevates you, that challenges you, that stirs you to action. Something truly important to you.
What is it?
This could be the novel you always dreamed of writing.
The song you always fantasized about playing.
The company you have always desired to launch.
The career pivot that you have been waiting to attempt.
Whatever it is that we may desire, a prerequisite must be fulfilled, one that the majority often miss.
It isn’t supplies.
It isn’t funding.
It isn’t a catchy name or a cool logo.
It is the shoring up of your inner defenses, the air castle that you must build with your own hands. The digging of mental trenches. The future proofing of your mind. You must be prepared for the assault that lies ahead.
Why?
Because there is only you.
