Sometimes, you just have to have some faith. I know I just talked about my contingencies in my last rant, er, blog posting. It's been mentioned that faith and beliefs and hope aren't necessarily a scientifically sound way to form your strategies. In fact, as a student of sales, marketing, and the business world, I've been trained to find the answers, sometimes even before the questions can be determined.
As I indicated last time, sometimes taking a leap of faith can be the best contingency of them all. Let me qualify that remark. After years of strategy and planning, you have to eventually know that there are way too many things that are out of your control, and infinite outcomes are possible. You can plan all you want based upon the best possible data at the time, but you really can't call most things absolute. It also helps to rely upon your best instincts in many cases.
When mentoring youth, I've always mentioned that it doesn't matter if your fifteen or fifty. We're still making decisions based upon our best analysis of the situation, and having faith that we've got it right. It's not the fact that I can analyze things better than a teenager (sometimes I can't). It's just that I might have been doing this a bit longer than some people. There's something to be said for experience, too.
Ok, I'm done with the psychobabble for now. See ya.
