Full disclosure: I don’t feel good all the time.
Not that that bothers me, of course.
Wanting to feel good all the time is a pointless, useless goal that’ll stifle your success.
Here are some of the “feelings” I cycled through just yesterday:
- Trepidation – making a decision on a high-risk business strategy
- Sadness – hearing of the death of a friend’s close relative
- Frustration – as someone I’d arranged to meet for dinner ghosted me, followed by a pathetic excuse
- Tiredness – typing this for you at 9.30pm after 4 hours sleep last night (late ferry from Morocco)
- Uncertainty – over a JV deal I’ve been working on for ages
- Disappointment – as Stripe erroneously settled a dispute in a CopyStream subscriber’s favour
- Happiness – hearing of another wonderful success story for one of my CIB clients
The trouble with only “doing happy” – as someone claimed they did the other day – is that you end up doing not very much at all.
Growing, learning and creating brings discomfort, anguish and exertion.
Feeling good comes when it’s ready.
Love you lots
Jonny
