Well said. Also, if our belief is that we are locked in - whether by our own choice or our perception of our circumstances - we could miss other opportunities that are right under our noses, if we would only look. And as I've said elsewhere, it might mean changing how we think. For example, assuming that we're too old to learn something new... Or that no one would want to hire someone our age... (I've suddenly been noticing lots of 'seniors' at various places lately...) Or that there aren't any other businesses that we could learn about that are viable options... The list could go on.
Those who get creative, think outside the box, open themselves to new possibilities, etc. are the ones likely to find the best solutions for themselves. |
