Suck it up, Buttercup!

I have said it before and I will say it again!
If you want to start your own business, you might as well go into therapy.

You can't run away from the universal lessons of your life. The universe will keep chasing you down to teach you the same lessons over and over again. It really doesn't matter if you can articulate what your lessons to be learned are...the universe knows. You can move across the country or start another business or fire everybody, but the bottom line is that you can't run away from your issues or lessons.

Just like school, you cannot go to the next grade until you get past the lessons for that grade. I think that being in business brings issues faster and harder than regular life. Issues compile at a higher rate and they won't go away unless they are dealt with. The issues and lessons will come harder and become bigger if we just learn to deal with them without addressing the actual cause of the problem. It may even come to pass that we become very adept at dealing with problems which masks the actual source of the problem. As I am writing this, I can think of so many instances that this is true...I can think of so many disorders that this comes to pass.

The real growth comes from taking the time to look inside of ourselves to find out what we are doing to manifest the issue or lesson. Until that happens, little to no growth can occur. While we take a deeper look at ourselves, we begin to recognize a disturbance that we begin to acknowledge as "not right." In my opinion it is important to recognize it for what it is and not to judge it...just recognize it. Judging (in my experience) tends to bring it to the foreground and amplify the problem. Recognize it and acknowledge it.

Once recognized it is easier to see how things develop and manifest and it is easier to accept that it is us and our ego that brings scenarios into action. All of this can be expedited if you choose to go into business either with yourself or with partners. There will come a time when an issue arises that will demand to be dealt with. The universe will apparently go away, but if the issue is not solved, it will come back in spades.

The goal is not to live a life without issues, that would be a dull life and one indicative of no growth. Our goal should be to get to a higher and higher place where the issues become less about ourselves and more about higher thoughts and concepts. We cannot get to higher concepts without un mucking the issues in our own consciousness. We are tethered to common problems when we are tackling the issues of our self. Until those are resolved to the degree that we have established a method and mechanism to instantaneously resolve them, we will be relegated to dealing with these problems "manually." When we can deal with these problems and issues "automatically" we will begin to graduate to a higher level of challenges and issues.

Yeah...and you thought you were just going into business! Your head has to be screwed on straight for you to be truly successful. You may indeed make a million dollars, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are a highly evolved being...it doesn't mean you are not a highly evolved being either.

anyway, congratulations for jumping into the business world.

Good luck
(and thanks for all the fish)
