The power went out at the homestead yesterday. Leaves me genuinely frustrated and helpless each time it happens. 

I was thinking of all the times I have only been able to rely on a flashlight to get by in a pitch black house. Nonsense. 

There is no sound that hits you in the gut like the sound of your neighbor's generator firing up. But, good for them. They put the time in to plan ahead and invest in something that can't be guaranteed to get a TON of use, but man when you need it, it comes up BIG. 

Our personal development is no different. We have to invest in things we can't yet see or use quite yet...until the time is right. 

When adversity or challenge hits in our career or personal life. 

When we are in a rut and feel like we can't get out of it, and the only resources we have just don't have the horsepower to get us out. Only spin our wheels. 

I want to be a generator....and be ready for whatever storm hits the doorstep, simply because I invested in myself ahead of time. Long way to go but no better time than now to start.
