It Can Be A Struggle

Outdoor Dinner Setup

It can also be a journey or a challenge or a dance.

It can be whatever we label it.

But one thing is for certain: It’s not going to be easy.

The moment there is contentedness, the next moment will be upheaval. The moment there is momentum, the next moment there is a bump in the road.

The trick then–since there’s always going to be a hiccup or change of tune–is to work toward controlling it.

If provided a void, the universe will work to fill it.

But when you make your next challenge yourself; to expand into outdoor seating, to pursue online ordering, to surprise and delight 10 people per week, to bring in a new vendor, to coordinate a digital festival … that’s when progress is made with intention rather than reaction.

And more often than not, the growth you produce from the changes and challenges you make often puts you at an advantage against the external forces you don’t have control over.

Think of it like getting ahead of the universal and competitive curve.

All for trying something new, crafting with intention and caring more than you did yesterday but not nearly as much as tomorrow.

Stay Positive & It’s Hard, But It’s Also Simple
