Life's a Journey

What started as a massive rush to finish up pe.dovito.com (a prompt engineer agent that has a LOT of work left to go haha) for the expo turned into a wild race of catch up, send new client proposals, new team member evaluations, and reframing expectations for Q2 based on current numbers.

Two new companies have been added to the portfolio, causing the realization of just how much more work I've added to my plate.

Oh, and the rest of life outside of the office is that much fuller with all the lessons that life is so gracious to bring.

But if I'm being completely honest - despite being absolutely and thoroughly drained today - I am thrilled to be exactly where I am.

So many of the things I am living and experiencing have been prayers for years - I just never realized how those prayers would be answered.

We have this way of praying or wishing something into existence, thinking only of an outcome.

The reality?

There is an entire journey and process that has to take place in order for that outcome to take shape.

Perspective is everything, and when someone told me yesterday that they'd love to be as ahead in life as I am, I laughed to myself because everyday I literally say "gosh, I wish I wasn't so behind in life".

I really do think that we glaze right over the achievements, and focus solely on the next thing; typically from a place of self-gratifying, self-fulfilling drive.

If there's one thing I'm learning this week, it's that humility isn't just key, it IS the key.

Without it, none of this works.

Humility to share, humility to be content with where we're at, humility to admit failures and then try again (differently).

Humility to go the journey and take the steps necessary to achieve greatness.

And if there's anything I'm seeing this week, it's just how much pride I still have left to clear from my life.

Life gets busy, challenges and weights pile on, but here's the thing...

We can't get so self-absorbed that we lose sight of the bigger picture.

I started losing sight of the bigger picture this past week, focusing on my lack, failures, hurt, and regrets.

Can't do that.

Yeah, it's hard, but it's harder to stay put than to work through it and move forward.

Dovito is slowing taking flight again, the new businesses will be well on their way to sustainable scalability by January, and overall, life is so so good.

Life is blessing.

Live it well, don't take it for granted.
