Fallen down Alice's rabbit hole - making it work

If you have fallen down Alice’s rabbit hole you are not alone. In fact, I suspect there are quite a few of us out there who have fallen down the hole but either have not realized it yet or simply don’t want to accept the matter of fact.

Ahhh…and there lies the rub….We all may be staying in this giant rabbit hole for quite a period of time.

And this brings me to the following two choices that I have to offer.

Choice A… we accept our doom and gloom and wait until someone has found where that darn cheese was moved. “And they lived grumpily ever after.”

Or…

Choice B… since we are staying in Alice’s lovely rabbit hole. Why not…make it work! Let’s find out how we can make it a success living in slower and darker times. What do we need to do to make things brighter in the rabbit hole? What tools can I sharpen, find, revamp, or whatever, to get things moving and working again.

I suggest this choice B because I sincerely think we might be in a slow economy for some time to come. And I think this is the 800 pound gorilla in the room that no one wants to talk about. But I suggest…let’s go there…let’s face this topic head on! What if…we have another 2 years, 5 years, or even longer living in the rabbit hole? What if the economy takes another 7 years to bounce back??? What then? Choice A?

But what if we make ourselves successful during these slow times? What if we can use this time to improve ourselves and become even that much better? What if we can learn to thrive living in the rabbit hole? Guess what…then we have successfully transformed ourselves to being able to function in any economy!

What if we make this our choice…to thrive in Alice’s rabbit hole and make it work!
Why not create a way to be successful no matter what the conditions may bring.

Let’s make Alice’s rabbit hole not only tolerable but outright enjoyable. And if we all achieve that…then we are out of the rabbit hole.

And there is the answer to the rub… We are only in a hole if we allow ourselves to be. Do we see a hole? Or can we see it as an opportunity?

As a friend of mine often says…. “Make it a powerful day!”
