During yesterdayโs Branch Assembly, our Branch Manager shared a quote from Seneca that really resonated with me.
โ๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ข๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ด ๐ง๐ข๐ท๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ.โ
It made me reflect on my journey. Iโve always lived by Henry Fordโs words:
โ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ, ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ช๐ณ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง ๐ข๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ช๐ต.โ
For the longest time, I believed that no matter how many challenges came my way, pushing through would always lead to success. But what Iโve realized is that after reaching a milestone, life can sometimes feel... off, like youโve lost the momentum or direction you once had.
Senecaโs words remind me that itโs not enough to fight through challengesโyou need clarity about where you want to go next. Otherwise, even the strongest winds won't help you move forward meaningfully.
If you feel stuck, know itโs okay. Itโs normal to hit a point where you need to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. The important thing is to be kind to yourself and take the time to figure out your next destination.
When the time comes, youโll be ready to set sail again.
