Staring at a blank piece of paper after having another unsuccessful recruiting call completed this morning and taunting with the feeling that the negativity form yesterday has spilled over into today I run across this article written by FC Expert Blogger Kaihan Krippendorff called “Where To Find Inspiration When The World Tells You To Give Up” 

Reading what he has written about the struggle a 40 year old company had to find their mojo helps me understand that I am not the only one at times struggle with the lack of energy and enthusiasm.

Now where do I find my inspiration from to push through rough times?

Do I read more books?
Do I just take a quick break and take a short walk?
Do I set a small goal and reward myself when I reach this goal?

Then I remembered my own favorite saying: “You can lead them to the water but you cannot make them drink. When you force them to drink they may drown.”

Or

“To reach the top you have to take one small step at the time”

Picking up myself by my own boot straps and reminding myself that Rome was not build in one day and to look at what is in front of me right now and not what is down the road or returning to the past I push on the next phone calls.

This is a new call a new opportunity to recruit and was a thought I had a chance to put on paper.
