Johnson Journal #4 Depth Perception

A few years back I owned a business,  which fortunately fell in line with my "life plan" (& dream) of having a business by the time I was 35 - in New York - & that resonated my vision of cool.

Well, after a bad experience in a establishment that was a great idea but had the staff from dickville - I had an epiphany.

Sometime later, some manuvering & an extremely generous investor, I opened my little piece of heaven.

16 hr days - 7 days a week - near relationship break-up - stress & constant frustration - I had never been happier in my life.

Sadly, due to my poor planning & immense lack of experience it closed as so many businesses do in the first year.

When I had to close "her" down, it broke me - for months I wasn't even able to move. Not until a year or 2 ago had I even been able to talk about it.


Reason being, because all I'd seen was my failure, my loss - my impotence as a businessman.


Not until my best friend showed me the ere of my ways could I see what the point truly was. 


She said that some people never even get to have their dreams physically realized - failure or not - you got to cross that finish line - for however brief the moment.


No it wasnt the insane success you wanted to be - but it was - & that in itself is the accomplishment. How many people do you know say someday?

Some might say "it was better just in my head"

Those are the ones that have never had it in their hand.

Peace
