Staying True to My Vision


“If it’s such a good opportunity, why don’t you take advantage of it?” a friend and colleague asked me today. I had just shared with her news of what seemed an excellent career opportunity.

Well, everything did seem ideal and I had referred another colleague for the position. The company is great and the owner is a person who is delightful to work with. However, he has his own vision of what he is creating. Working with him would have meant giving up my vision of what I want to create.

The reply left my lips spontaneously and with confidence:
“I prefer to fail going after my dreams, than succeed achieving someone else’s dreams.”
