 Success is a journey, not a destination - H. Tom CollardHello crea8ve seekers, entrepreneurs and passion leaders. Gilli here. The power of patience. It's a beautiful thing. This is here you’re sitting back, and even if you are wanting to say something so badly, you just wait, watch and listen. And somehow the universe does it for you without you pushing and prodding.They really do…If you want to have a dream realized in your life, it doesn’t happen over night, it takes time. We live in a world obsessed with hustle. Grind culture. Overnight success. But let's be real. True success rarely happens in a straight line. More often, it's a winding road filled with unexpected detours and frustrating delays. I refer this to the ZIG ZAG theory.While in our mind we think we just work our way Up (imagine a straight vertical line), in fact life goes a little more zig-zaggy. We start our way, and the line moves in a perpendicular diagonal fashion over to the right, then crosses back to the left, then right, then left, always moving up, but in a different way. And while we land on top, it’s somewhere different: somewhere completely unexpected and not predicted, but always amazing. I learned about the Zig Zag theory from my readings of Edward de Bono. Edward de Bono's Zig Zag Theory of Success in his book, I Am Right, You Are Wrong, posits that achieving significant goals rarely follows a straight, linear path. Instead, success often involves a series of forward and backward movements, much like a zigzag. These "zigs" represent periods of progress, where individuals make strides towards their objectives. However, they are inevitably followed by "zags," setbacks, obstacles, and even periods of regression. De Bono argued that these setbacks are not necessarily failures, but rather valuable learning experiences. By embracing these zigzags, individuals can gain valuable insights, adapt their strategies, and ultimately achieve greater success than if they had simply pursued a rigid, linear approach. Essentially, the Zig Zag Theory encourages individuals to view challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth and redirection, rather than as roadblocks. It emphasizes the importance of flexibility, adaptability, and a willingness to learn from both successes and failures on the path to achieving one's goals.Success IS the journeyI’ve taken this one step further for creatives and entrepreneurs. We get so caught up in the destination, or a perceived definition of success, that we often lose sight of the learnings along the way. In fact, the deviations that we’ll encounter is part of the amazing part of achieving success. So while de Bono calls this out as a natural set of “set backs”, I say that even these set backs are gifts, perhaps even successes of themselves, disguised as a negative.While you may put a goal in place and even a direction, don't get dismayed when you find yourself running down a different track. Life is like that. Many people are afraid to change for fear that they will be seen as copping out. Many people have way too high expectations which just leads to discontent. We are not destined to run a straight course, for then we will never experience what we need to experience. Edward de Bono wrote that we follow a "zig zag" course, that we hop from left to right, still going forth. Remember though, that if an avenue is not working for you, don't beat a dead horse. Press on. Learn to nurture all your gifts for success may come to you in many disguises.Here’s a story for you, way back when my husband, Jeff, and I didn’t have kids yet, and we went to Fiji for a holiday. Young and foolish, ready for adventure ;)It wasn’t a glamorous beach resort. We were staying right in the middle of the island, nowhere near the ocean. It was hot. About 110 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). There were mosquitoes, flies and the air was still. We decided to try and hike to the sea, to see if things would be different there. So off we trekked. I kept on asking, “How far do you think the sea is?”“Not sure. I can’t see the water from here. Must be miles away,” Jeff responded.So we started walking down the hill. The ground was rough, and dirt. There were shanties along the road with Indian Fijian’s living in them, washing their clothes in the river, and some bathing from bore wells on their property. They lived in poverty, by Western standards, and yet they waved and smiled at us and seemed so happy. They had a cow or a goat, and maybe a dog. The vegetation along the trail was exotic, luscious green and filled with plantations of corn and some bananas. It was jungle like. We walked for about an hour, and as we traveled we asked the locals where the water was. They pointed “that direction.” We still couldn’t see the water, but it was fascinating to talk to the locals and witness the inland countryside of this island.Finally, we came across some mangroves. There was some sand and an old ...
