We Can Do It!

This is me trying to mimic "Rosie the Riveter". The iconic poster of a female factory worker flexing her muscle, exhorting other women to join the World War II effort with the declaration that "We Can Do It!" The “We Can Do It!” poster was aimed at boosting morale among workers in the World War II factories producing war materiel.


We only have four months of the year, and 

I’m worried about being too comfortable. 


The stock market is up, business is great, and 

Kids are back at school and out of my hair. 


But we can never be complacent. 


Over the weekend, I read the sports section of the WSJ and the interview with Kasia Niewiaddoma about her win at the Tour de France by four seconds. 


WSJ Jason Gay question: "A lot of racers might pack it in after being dropped like that, Why didn’t you give up?" 


Kasia’s Answer: "I didn’t see giving up an option. I thought there was only one way: Suffering. It was brutal, super painful everywhere and not just my legs, everything was hurting so much.” 


This article let me to read some of my old journal entries from 2 years ago.

Back then, I was in a lot of pain. 


About to go into surgery, the stock market was down, my business was ok but still young…. 


“I'm trying so hard to find the value, the hard lessons in pain or suffering,” 


“I can’t learn about life until there is pain. Why do we have to experience pain to find meaning? When life is good, do we look back and appreciate the hard lessons the pain we experienced?” - I wrote on September 29, 2022. 


Then it happened, I learned the lesson. 


When you fear something, you have to shift your mind: 

From negative to positive 

From pain to purpose. 


Pain helps us discover our passion and where we should focus our efforts. 


My passion is to serve my clients. 


The way to solve for pain is to focus on being positive. 


Kasia goes on to say, “Athletes are wired that way, that you just see one way, 

But I just didn’t see slowing down or taking it easier as an option.” 


I didn't see slowing down as an option, either. 


The next day after my surgery, I went right back to work. 

Doing the work helped my mind focus on getting something hard done. 

It gave me satisfaction, just like after a good workout. 


Now, looking back what helped me heal fast and appreciate my journey: 

Doing the work even while in pain. 


Life is full of ups and downs so we have to learn to navigate our journey - get through the pain so we can enjoy the otherside!


What might be missing if you are in a slump? A plan. Reach out if you need some help.


Thank you for reading!
