Dr. Seuss Had It Right

Oh the places you will go, and you can go further than you think!

In almost every career you will eventually find yourself at a crossroads. A point where either you're bored, burned out, lacking inspiration, maxed out or perhaps you are simply on the wrong path. While the future may look bleak, this is a great place to be. We are not truly tested until we face adversity, change and evolution happen in a pressure cooker. It is what we do in these moments that define who we are and allow us to compose a new chapter in our book. You may be thinking, what I have said is all well in good, but when you are in a slump how do you dig yourself out of a hole? “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” (Dr. Seuss) Allow yourself to be in the moment and relish in the discomfort. Imagination and creativity are SKILLS, and sadly they are skills that we stop developing and allow to atrophy in adulthood. Find a mentor, a trusted friend or confidant and constructively DREAM. Dream with a purpose with no limits in mind. The next step is to get up and act, its as simple as that. “And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)” (Dr. Seuss)
