I’m so Jaded.
I wonder if entrepreneurs are more prone to getting jaded than others. As entrepreneurs we try more opportunities and connect with more people and not only connect, but trust more people. I guess it just makes sense that we’re going to get hurt — jaded.
The more I experience the more I notice areas in my life where I’ve been jaded. I notice a typical curve - I feel negatively about it for a while, then days, months, or years later something changes. Often that something is my perspective.
I’m finding that holding onto those feelings could be keeping us from seeing with a better (or just different) perspective and may be keeping us from a next level of success.
Times change, people change, businesses change, and the best of all, we change. Plenty spiritual principles refer to guarding your heart - I think that applies here. Let’s be careful about getting jaded, and if we’re jaded right now, it might be a good idea for us to work to let that go - we don’t need any extra weight slowing us down.
