isn't this just the truth. the road to Success is not a straight smooth little path that you diligently, calmly follow, straight to the top. it is more accurately a scribbly mess of ups and downs and curly cues, where at times you feel as if you're a dog, chasing your tail around and around in circles; it's full of detours and requires realignments of the compass.
i currently have a few different paths i am on, seeking success. the success wanted in hitting that magical number on the scale, our dreams of finding the perfect space to build Rhett's business successfully, the path to refurbishing furniture and selling it successfully.. just to name a few.
it's a long scribbly road to that arrow at the top. sitting back, staring, and following that scribbly mess above on that arrow to success actually leaves me hopeful and full of determination. the obstacles i'm feeling are Normal. they are part of the path. the circles looping around in my mind are par for the course. it's really just about staying ON the course. the course to that arrow at the top. that's where i'm heading.
are you in the middle of one of those curly cues on your path?
how do you keep focused on arriving at that arrow at the top?

Yes...but I want my success to look and feel like peace, joy and contentment...I know I've found success if I can experience those three even in the midst of what looks like struggle.
That's how my brain feels right now. Squiggly. I think that you face hurdles but eventually clear the obstacle although screaming during the processs helps me alot
Mine would look like an upwards line until about 1/4 the way through... then a bunch of squiggles and zig zags, and then straightening out towards the end... at least I THINK I'm doing pretty well right now!
Hi Makaila!
I saw your blog on Discovery Street and thought I'd stop by. :) Your blog is wonderful! I look forward to reading more.
I feel ya on taking several different paths, seeking success. There are so many things that I'm wanting to focus on but then I get sidetracked with another project I find more exciting or compelling. Eventually I get back to the original focus though. The main thing that keeps me focused is: checklists.
Keep heading to that arrow!
I will forever be on this curly ass path. Stupid goals.

Like Justyn, I think I am constantly on the swirly path to success. I also think it's important not to compare your idea of success to someone else's. I've done that before and it's made me feel bad about myself, so I try not to do that now. I try to set my own standards and work towards them.
I am somehow in midst of this curly cues BUT it always work out somehow. You know sometimes we need to look at what we HAVE done, instead of looking at what NEEDS to be done.

I feel like I am always in the midst of the curly paths, but that's what makes life interesting,huh?
I feel too emotionally unstable to have a rational response about success, however I'm proud of you!
The best thing I ever heard was that, "If you aren't facing obstacles, trials, or tribulation...you're not doing anything worth coming against."
It's true.
LOVE this post!! I had no idea Rhett was looking for a biz spot (maybe that was the warehouse pic?!?!) and that y'all wanted to re-do furniture...again, wishing you were closer, we could so RAWK a flea or two!! Anyway, my life is a series of squiggles and I really wish I could get one lil straight line...at least know I am on some kinda path!
