“Stand
in your own two shoes.” Scott
McCleod
Seven
years ago, a friend asked me to help him start a shoe company: wanted me to be there
full time and rented an apartment for us in Brooklyn. We were in Laguna Beach
at the time and the prospect of living in NYC and helping with another startup
sounded cool. Long story short, that
enterprise failed (a story for another time) and we were potentially left
stranded in the Big City: I could have been really bummed out but decided to
take control of the situation. I found
another client there and spent another year there learning about the health
industry and enjoying all that NYC had to offer: riding subways, sampling great
restaurants in Brooklyn, taking the train to our home in the Adirondacks, and
getting to experience life in that great city. When s**t happens, we either
suffer because of it or learn to make the most of it: life really is what we
make it. When life throws you a curve, stand in your own two shoes, own the
moment, and make the most of it. Be responsible for what you want to be today.
