I have seen it many times. I call it “the cloudy eyes of failure.” Others may know it as “tunnel vision,” or “shutting down.” No matter what you call it, the symptoms (and the results) are the same. Time after time, I see people who are living in a state of failure, whether in their personal life, job, or business, consistently hone in on the wrong things and give these “things” their full attention. Like a dog chasing their tail, their resolve to spin in circles is resolute.

Of course, when we’re in that state of failure, it is the time in between failing and actually closing the doors. We don’t know we’re spinning in circles. In fact, we believe that we are pushing forward, fixing what is broken, and saving the day. Anyone with an outside perspective can see that we are playing the fiddle while Rome is burning, but to us, it is sweet, sweet music.
