My downhill journey

I am not sure why but I am finding it hard to accept that it is not unusual in life to run into business difficulties. Although I fully understand that sometimes it’s because I may not have taken my business seriously enough, I may have gone into wrong business, may have taken a business decision that don’t match my strengths, or perhaps life just got in the way.

New immigrant entrepreneurs may find that the business skills that got you through with very high success from your previous country and/or market place may not work as well here in Canada, where things move quickly, differently and often through large, very large corporations. Different skills are called for, and the good news is, like any skills, they can be learned. You might very well figure it out on your own, but you might save time and be more successful if you take advantage of some of the resources available in the marketplace.
Am I comparing my performance as a businessman with others? Well, if I am not some else may be doing it – making me feel that I have gone downhill since the last many years. I know fully well that there’s going to be comparisons, and that's unavoidable. There will be my friends, family members and many other people out there who will make me feel that I hit my peak long back in the much younger age and have been gone downhill since.
In Canada first thing we talk about is snow, second snow and snow again. When snow is hard – its easy while you are going downhill – but for me it’s not been so easy – at this time at least – I think it is because it has just started snowing and will take a bit of a time before I will be able to get used to it. Well, it may not be only snow – I think there is a little bit contribution of my bad luck too – but it will change – soon I guess.
I welcome life each morning as it arrives – in whatever shape and size. I look forward to living the life to its fullest. I want to live happily – no matter what. I know life is not all about roses – it’s not all about happiness – it’s not all about dancing. I want to face it whatever it is.
I know my mother gave me birth and that’s when my journey on earth started. What was my mission on earth – I didn’t know at that time. My ability to know about my mission on earth is probably is the same as it was at the time of my birth? I have learnt from many that no matter how much money we make on earth; that it will remain here and that I can not take it with me. Some say money is everything and our mission on earth is to make money more and more – in fact as much as possible.
Whatever is the mission of others on this earth that I share with my fellow human beings, one thing is for sure – each mission is finished with one thing, which is NOT under control of any HUMAN – DEATH”.
