I spent an exhausting day mixing concrete to repair our rather badly eroded and cracked driveway.  I guess time will tell what kind of job we have done but there is little chance it could be any worse than it already was!  It occurred to me that perhaps most of us have to rebuild on cracked and damaged foundations.  Life and business have a way of chipping away at what we build and from time-to-time we have to strip it back to the more solid bits, clean them off and lay down something new on top to build on and go forward from. 

We are all brought up on the myth of perfection and yet reality keeps trying to educate us that little is perfect except (perhaps)  the mess we make sometimes…  Change and business and indeed Life itself requires us to stop from periodically and reassess and then rebuild.  I have had nearly 6 months enforced ‘holiday’ to do just this and in the last few weeks I have slowly begun this process.  Today the drive…. Tomorrow…. the World … (or maybe just my world!)

I wonder what you are either in the process of rebuilding building or in need of rebuilding…

“Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”   Henry David Thoreau

“Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.”    Carl Gustav Jung
