Think Strategy -- Tumbleweeds

The persona of tumbleweed.  Tossed about for a season...appearing to be without direction...desiccate.  No apparent cause.  The effect, a series of unintended consequences and it still ain’t over.  Progress...sometimes not so obvious.  Dust clears...a worthy adversary to failure...to mediocrity...stands.  The story of our careers.  Right?

This ability to be thrown to and fro, to be dealt another bad hand and still rise is explainable.  People with an internal locus of control tend to work harder and persevere longer in order to get what they deserve.  Trigger point is understanding they can adapt.  To be tossed about or disregarded all together is growth.  That’s how they see it.  I’m not suggesting you like it. 

For some, this moment of intercession was right on time.  For all, take hold of these survival skills (activity, attention, conversation, and concentration). The winds of being in business or maintaining employment are at times acute, extreme, forceful...just plain powerful!  Remind yourself that you have some degree of control in every situation.  It’s Monday — bursting w/determination – let’s keep it moving!
