Apocalyptic polar super freeze storm

Beast from the east, Siberian arctic ice storm, the blizzard to end all blizzards, the worst something since the last worse something. Also known as winter.

Serial entrepreneur, also known as failed small business owner.

Operating incident, previously known as a train crash.

And so on.

We can repackage, relabel, reimagine, pretend. But the hype doesn’t alter what things really are. All the hype does is allow us to hide, stay indoors, bamboozle others, avoid showing up.

We don’t need more hype, we need to be more genuine.

Hiding places

We seek hiding places, frightened of being found.

We’ll do many things in life to avoid being in the limelight, to avoid the chance of success.

We are often more scared of success than failure, because success may mean being thrust forward from our comfort zone into the unknown.

Hiding can involve elaborate actions in order to avoid the more simple act of showing up and doing what we are best at.

Step out of the shadows, take that small step towards being found, it is easier than the complications and regret of staying hidden.
