The Oasis of Stability distracts the worried traveler from reality!
Remember, in the western, where the hopeless cowboys are lost in the desert; their only hope is the oasis; the leader points out far off in the distance. So why do they all follow, realizing it's only a mirage.
As innovation destroys an industry's status quo, the status quo will head out on a journey. But, unfortunately, some will travel towards mirages until their death. Because traveling towards hope is more comfortable than traveling away from despair. A, despair the hopeful refused to define.
Unfortunately, those fooled by mirages are misguided. Quest based on hope can easily take control of the realities needed for survival. The despair of what you are leaving should be the motivation to embark on a journey towards continuous relevance.
Those taking journeys towards reinvention or improvement only packed with hope and fantasizes will find themselves with empty canteens heading toward the hallucination oasis.
Those who can disrupt themselves understand that journeys toward continuous relevance start at the mirage and never journey towards the hope of something based on fantasies.
Unfortunately, most people would rather follow journeys based on misguided hope packed full of fantasy over leading journeys through roads riddled with unknown obstacles.
Those who journey based on fantasies and false hope usually return to their origins. Once faced with the realities, they are going from one mirage to another, the journey back home becomes the safe destination. However, when they return to their once safe haven. The innovators have made the landscape unrecognizable.
Don't be fooled by those hallucinations of an oasis of stability. Because, more than likely, it's just a mirage.

I wanted to share some thoughts regarding Landa Digital Printing. By sharing the differences between two articles. One published In, "What They Think" where I thought the author did a great job sharing some details and insight. The other publication was, The Cannata Report. It's amazing how this author whitewashed the story into an unrecognizable reality to the issues involving Landa Digital Printing. Listen In for my thinking!
