My dad told me a story a long time ago of a man who owned a diamond mine. He had owned and worked that mine for years and never dug up one jewel. On the day that he finally sold it. The new owner uncovered diamonds in his coal. The lesson was to never give up, your answer may just be right around the corner if you dig a little deeper.
Some say, “Stories are nice but what about reality? Life isn’t lived in a mine.” But what if it is? What if all we need to do is recover, regroup and reenter our lives with a fresh mind and new ideas about how to get the results we want. We just may find what we have been digging for all along.
Recovery is not about running away. It’s about getting your head together so that you can rethink and reshape the entire situation with a renewed mind. You may discover a better way to lead your team, a better way to use technology, a better way to organize your dream, a better way to sell, a better way to live. You just may discover how to get the best out of your old mine. That’s what’s going on with Susan from the previous post. She’s tired, drained and in that state she can’t see that every idea and every obstacle has prepared her to solve impossible problems in creative ways. And when the solutions come a new level of freedom and finances follow.
Recover, then discover a new way to mine, but never stop digging.

I’m in the process of digging. I am re-grouping and digging, never giving up, just moving forward. It’s a process you know
. Loving your writing as always.
