Are You Morphing?
Here you are. An unsuspecting, budding blogger or internet marketer looking to make your mark on an unsuspecting world. Oh, you have it all mapped out. The goals, the plan, the ambition to make it happen. You have the vision. You've positioned yourself in the perfect tree, with the perfect branch with the most leaves on it. If you can just keep munching away, you'll certainly achieve your destiny.
Then, the unimaginable happens. Something you didn't expect. A change.
But... this isn't the plan, is it? Your vision is something completely different. All the goals. All the hard work. For nothing?
Suddenly, seemingly all is dark. A veil surrounds you where all was once lush greenery. Now you hang on the branch where you once gorged yourself on the feast of possibilities. Where once the noise of the forest community filled your senses and fueled your imagination, you now know only quiet. Total, suffocating isolated quiet. Is all lost? Has the moment passed? Time... gone...
But wait. A sensation. Stirring. Stretching. Could there be... something? Something more?
Pushing through the veil with abandon. Pushing through without knowledge of what lies ahead. Remembering the intensity of the former vision even as it is fading.
Wings spreading, now flapping. Lifting. Airborne! Caught up in the ecstasy of flight and the realization of fresh potential. All is found. All is in view. Beyond the branch and beyond the tree you find the flowers of prosperity and purpose.
Metamorphosis.
We must keep in mind the changes that will come. We make our plans and goals without knowing what those changes will be and how our plans will change. Are we willing to see it through?
This process is part of the challenge. We can plan on it.
Imagine what you would miss if you stay on the branch or you quit while in the cocoon.
So... munch when you're on the branch, rest when you're in the cocoon and fly when you break through with hope for a totally different life!
All the best,
~Bob

Yup Bob,
I agree. Get thru that y'know what ever you call it and yes
that pot of gold. Nothing comes easy must go thru the uncomfortable "process." A must, nothing great come hand fed.
Thanks Bob! Great read!

Thank you so much for your encouragement, Frank.
And yes, we must go through it, even if it's every day!
Aah we're caught in the branches of WA., no escape.....we will have to see what eventuates.
My husband & I started a business many years ago now, it took 6 years before we could celebrate success. The fun of the first steps, I'll never forget, maybe a blog in view...
Cheers, Jae

Right on brother! We need to be willing to adjust and adapt, to change paddling techniques and direction mid-stream, and sometimes just go with the flow. And in all things, just keep pressing forward and do not give up. Have a great day Bob! :-)
Thanks, Bob! You have a great day as well.
