When we find ourselves in the midst of a storm, the most natural thing to do is to put our heads down and hold on tight. Maintain our position and ride it out. We know it will end eventually.
Some of us, however, have the ability to ignore the existential threats and simply keep an eye on the horizon; looking for the possibilities to come. They’re in the same storm as everyone else, but they shake off the fear (if they ever recognized it in the first place) and continue looking for new opportunities — how to distinguish themselves from the pack and how to get better.
