Push on through the dip
… or quit. Do one of the other and do it fervor. I recently finished reading Seth Godin’s The Dip and it seems an appropriate recommendation as I leave one job and prepare for another.
The dip is the obstacle (bureaucracy, busywork, fake requirements, etc.) that stands in the way of success. Decide whether it’s worth your time to bust the obstacles or redirect your passion somewhere else.
My favorite quote from the book comes from a Hugh MacLeod illustration. “Only talented people fret about mediocrity.”
An quick, recommended read for anyone feeling stuck.
