I love this video. It really shows what it takes to get something new started in the world. There have been many times in my life that I have felt overexposed. As if I were a guy standing in a field dancing all by myself, being stared at by all. My friends , my family , my IN-LAWS, my business associates have at one time or another looked at me with ” That look ” . After giving them the rundown of what I was up to they have said inspiring things like “Humm….” , ” You dont say….” or ” Very interesting…… did I mention that we have a position open at our company?”
What I have found out about myself is that I am in the business of creation. Knowing that I have helped be the catalyst to create something new, time and time again, leaves me with an full feeling of satisfaction.
Has it always worked , No . The booms I win and the busts I learn.
Have I always given it 100% , Yes.
What I have come to know about myself and my life is it is the process, not the destination that counts on a daily basis. The destination and the outcome are ALWAYS an unknown. We may think we know what they will be but when we arrive it is almost always different than we imagined it to be .
One of my favorite quotes is “Things are very hard to predict , especially the future”. This being so, the best we can do is pick a direction and go for it %100. Find an idea and live the change that needs to happen.
Do you look foolish? It depends on the observer.
Do you feel foolish? If you do, then become your own biggest supporter.
Citizenre has been an up and down road and at the same time the place I have found many of my friends here. We have a lot in common, thinking we can bring solar to millions of households in America. We have a lot in common thinking we can change the way that things are done.
It is not always easy to step out and work hard for the unknown. Yet I am certain that it beats sitting on a hill watching a bunch of other people join in on something that may just , change the course of the world as we know it.
