We all need a bridge from where we are to where we want to get to. This is as true in business as much as in family. An oftimes forgotten part of the equation is actually, the success of the endeavor.

I have 2 younger sisters. The one closest in age, she’s taller than me. She’s many things more than me. She and I, like all other people, ebb and flow in our relationship. Every relationship, chosen or born together, ebbs and flows just like nature.

I’ve spent stretches of my life feeling very alone. And I have actually been alone at certain times and places. When I have chosen that, I relish in the time and the recuperation I receive from being alone. When the negative alone happens to me, it’s because I want something else to be true, not what is.
