The Battlefield
Sometimes enterprise is an adventure. Right now it’s a battlefield, full of obstacles and even casualties. The bolder the enterprise, the greater the obstacles we are likely to face.
More dangerous than the obstacles imposed by this viral enemy are the obstacles found within ourselves: discouragement, fear, doubt in our own abilities, temptation to compromise.
Which is your biggest internal battlefield? Know it, anticipate it and step steadily through it to the other side. Yes, there is another side. Don't let the obstacles stop you.
