Don't Tell A Turtle He Can't Fly
10 Months time. Finally finished this part of the training: Zero sales. Some traffic. All In.
There's always a lot more going on under the surface than what is seen. A turtle knows this. He's able to explore both sides of land and sea. He adapts and crawls through the uneasy groundwork of dry land.
This isn't even the element in which he thrives. But he gets fed, some fresh air, warmth, and a heightened sense of adventure...despite a perception of being slow and lacking intent.
This is way off.
The turtle is able to make a lot of friends during his dry land visit (many of them human) despite the hostile environment. Then he moves on because he knows it's not only necessary, but good to explore options (even if they're forced for survival).
There's a whole other world most don't get the opportunity to see. As the turtle enters it, he soars like a gentle angel through the depths of the water; yet still always needs to be on guard of predators and other unpredictable elements.
We can learn a lot from a turtle.
When it comes to the unseen, the bigger realm of uncertainty and opportunity, he still enters, soars, and lives with a freedom many only hope for. The turtle is free to fly in a way most can't imagine or even understand.
The amphibian has a privilege and way of life most don't; yet still comes off as a humble, affable creature.
He's able to work, sustain, and thrive in multiple environments. And he lives his whole life in the balance of strength and weakness. A turtle really is able to fly. It's not an unconventional way.
He has more space than you perhaps can ever imagine. If you try to tell a turtle there is only one way to fly, he wouldn't even choose to listen to you...
Neither would I.
There're pros and cons of what we do and how we see, and how we see what we do. If you're not strong in one realm, adapt. Change your mind. Be amphibious with yourself.
Don't drown in doubt, disbelief, or perceived limitations of self.
Yes, there are risks to take and not everything works out. Humanity and the on-line world can seem like quite the hostile, unwelcoming environment.
Take a breather, get some sun, then dive back into what the sea of uncertainty and opportunity has to offer...
Explore, Learn, Grow, Recover from shark bites. It won't all be smooth sailing .Success is in the making of being.
If you like to fly free, take the necessary steps and don't let fear or failure dictate your actions.
Expand the limitations of your mortal scope. No matter how long it takes. Make life a living. Then you'll have a lot more life in your living for you and those you love in your life...
Like the turtle, I'm not quitting. Shoot, a lot of turtles can live to over 100 years old.
Yes, we can indeed learn a lot from a turtle!
Fly like the turtle friends ; )

Mark, well said my friend. I think we can all strive to be turtles. Lol
The way I see it, a turtle really does fly... only through water instead of air (;
A change in perspective though, love it!
