Today I learned I learned the importance of considering the the alternatives. This is something I Gary Vee has been a big proponent of. The idea dawned into my head one evening as I was waiting for the bus. I was upset because of how much school is demanding from me. It feels like most of my waking time is out towards school and that makes me feel uncomfortable because I fear that I’ll find myself ending up just like everybody else. As I was waiting for the bus I saw a security guard I see frequently was near where I was standing and was talking loud enough for me to here about how had plans to pursue music over the summer and how he was hopeful that things would get better. I felt a bit better seeing him so hopeful because it reminded me that I was on the right track for me. It reminded me that without a foundation one can only hope. It reminded me to concider the alternative. Doing so shows one the options on the table. There is no option of doing nothing. One has to do something eventually. I realize through considering my alternatives that I’d rather be struggling to build my foundation than start over to pursue a dream that will probably take 10 years to see a significant return.
