And as it turns out, so do people.
If you want something in your life, like a relationship or a business, then you have a vacuum, a space that wants to be filled.
The quality of what fills it is directly proportional to how comfortable you are sitting in that vacuum, how comfortable you are living with conditions you don’t want.
Do you leap into bed with the first person who so much as glances your way?
Do you pull the trigger on the first business opportunity that crosses your path?
Or do you sit still, in the vacuum, in discomfort, without that thing that you want?
Waiting.
Preparing.
For what’s right.
For what you deserve.

When we focus on a past that we don’t like, we are living in a state where we are hoping an imaginary future will heal a non-existent past.
Recently I was in a situation that wasn’t what I wanted, but there wasn’t anything I could do to change it.
If you fill up every area of your life with little regard for the quality of what you’re filling it with, there’s not much room left.
The thought of hard decisions is often worse than the consequences.
I’m in my office at the moment. This morning I’ve planned next week, had multiple meetings and worked on some strategic moves for my business.
