Today was a pivotal point for many reasons. Reasons like life, and reasons like work. It is times like this that you need to stop and think. And it is times like this that I hope years down the road you remember exactly how you feel.
Remember when you were young and trying to make it in the business world? You had not a single clue what you were doing, but you were doing it. You learned not to take yourself too seriously, and to take your gut feeling as serious as your love for horses. You started with no purpose and an accidental job. You soon found your love for small businesses and helping them succeed. You learned to talk to adults, and sluff off the comments of being too young to work in this city.
Remember the time you realized how amazing your friends were? How you finally got the courage to tell them how awesome they are? And how it didn't hurt at all. You were honest, and you hope it helped. Continue to make honest comments and let them know that no one can take their goodness. And no one deserves to try.
And remember the time you were in the exact right place at the exact right time? You were able to accept your past and look to your future. You saw the fear of the present, and took a little time to hyperventilate. The people you once saw as employers became your sound ear, and your mentors. You began to see the transparency of relationships, and learned to trust in them.
So take the time when you have it. Say thank you to all the people who have helped you, hurt you, and let you learn, and understand that in ways they are all the same. So thank you to the people who have helped me in business ventures thus far. Who have taught me and waited patiently as I corrected spelling mistakes. And thank you to the friends who have given me a chance to see the light in wonderful people. To everyone at FOX who held me when I cried, and guided me on my journey, you are the beginning and I will remember you until the end.
These are the things I hope you remember when you are older. The people you take a moment to reach out too. And the life you continue living. One of wonder and concern. Joy and pain. But most of all love for everyone you come in contact with, and in everything you do.
Sincerely,
Yourself
