The US Iran & You: The Secret to Thriving When the World is in Turmoil
Yesterday evening, my phone buzzed with an urgent question:
"So we're officially at war?"
I immediately thought of the escalating tensions toward Iran.
I checked a few headlines and was in shock.
I responded to the text message, "what happened to two weeks?"
In case you didn't know, the US attacked Iran's nuclear facilities.
The true details are still coming out.
Here's the thing...
Every day there is turmoil (so it seems).
I started thinking about the inherent uncertainty in both life and business.
Ever have those moments you could throw in the towel and give up?
I spent last week still battling a software bug in CREATR Software, a problem that was already 1.5 weeks old.
The more I tried, the worse it got.
A few times, I even questioned, "is this even worth it?"
And then I remembered why I started and kept going.
I changed up my approach and noticed an improvement in the code.
Several days later, I fixed the bug for good!
These moments reminded me of Jim Rohn's take on life and business as “changing seasons”.
Key Takeaways:
Winter: A time of hardship and struggle, meant for reflection, preparation, and skill-building to build resilience.
Spring: Signifies renewal and new opportunities. Act decisively and seize these fleeting moments to plant seeds for success.
Summer: A season for growth and nurturing. Diligently cultivate what you've started, protect your progress, and work consistently.
Fall: The harvest season, where hard work pays off. Reflect on your achievements, learn from experiences, and take full responsibility for your results.
The most important point is this...
While we cannot change the seasons, we can change ourselves to better navigate these cycles.
Cheers!

A deep-sea diver in a black wetsuit and scuba gear is seen tying a thick rope around one of the octopus's massive tentacles. The water is clear but deep blue, with rays of light filtering from above and tiny air bubbles rising around. The environment is surrounded by rocky formations and coral reefs. The scale of the octopus compared to the diver highlights the sheer size difference. Highly detailed rendering, cinematic lighting, 9:16 vertical ratio.
