RE: What valley are you navigating right now? And how do you know it's worth the journey?
Throughout my career I've aspired to huge results, beginning with my 6 year old projection that I would become "the biggest movie star in the world". Ultimately that big thinking transformed into a lot of good things like successfully producing and distributing films no one else would.
Now in my 6th decade when I get inspired by a big idea, I also recon the failures that sometimes were facilitated from the drain of unrealistically overachieving and I slip into the valley of disappointment, reckoning I don't quite have the luxury of not just time but similar desire to pick up and rebuild in decade 7 or 8 if I don't make it work in decade 6, and thus slip further into the valley before moving forward.
How do I know if it's worth it, is a question I'm still navigating without concrete answers.
