“Jose, I envy being in your position.”
Words I never expected from a confident leader with a successful, empowering organization.
He admitted it would sound weird— and it did. Yet his reasoning convinced me he was genuine.
But why?
Why envy being in my position?
I’m unemployed; I’m powerless; I’m debt-ridden; and I’m unaware of the skills I have.
All I have is my relentlessness and curiosity. I know where I want to be, and I’m learning how to get there. So, did he mean that he wants to go through the same journey as me?
I don’t know. But I do know I feel more confident. If anything, it made me fall in love with the process I’m going through even more.
If falling in love with the process fuels my potential, then I’ll embrace it.
I’ll stay grounded and keep working away. Allow me to align myself with the heroic stories I admire.
Here’s my inspiration for the day.
