“We all wear a MASK in different environments, most of the times its not because we want to...........its because society and the media paints a picture of what they THINK you should be, like being yourself is wrong. Some people wear a mask at work, at school, around their friends or even family, hiding who they really are or how they truly feel on the inside, just to fit in and protect their feelings. I've been asked a few times what PANGEA means.......PANGEA or PANGAEA is a super continent that once existed, where all of earth's continents were joined as ONE. For me? It means acceptance of one's self, being ONE with ALL of who you are. I've reached a point in my life where the MASK I wear and who I am as a person are one in the same. What's under your mask.”

Is when you wonder why you started the company in the first place.The Struggle is when people ask you why you don’t quit and you don’t know the answer.The Struggle is when your employees think you are lying and you think they may be right. The Struggle is when food loses its taste. The Struggle is when you don’t believe you should be CEO of your company. The struggle is when you know that you are in over your head and you know that you cannot be replaced. The Struggle is when everybody thinks you are an idiot, but nobody will fire you. The Struggle is where self-doubt become self-hatred. The Struggle is when you are having a conversation with someone and you can’t hear a word that they are saying because all you can hear is the Struggle. The Struggle is when you want the pain to stop. The struggle is unhappiness. The struggle is when you go on vacation to fell better and you feel worse. The Struggle is when you are surrounded by people and you are all alone. The Struggle has no mercy. The struggle is the land of the broken promises and crushed dreams. The Struggle is a cold sweat. The Struggle is where your guts boil so much that you feel like you are going to spit blood. The Struggle is not failure, but it causes failure. Especially if you are weak. Always if you are weak. Most people are not strong enough. Every great entrepreneur from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg went through the Struggle and struggle they did, so you are not alone. But that does not mean that you will make it. You may not make it. That is why it is the Struggle. The Struggle is where greatness comes from.

From “The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers” by Ben Horowitz

I love those who yearn for the impossible

The Lesson

I keep on dying again. Veins collapse, opening like the Small fists of sleeping Children. Memory of old tombs, Rotting flesh and worms do Not convince me against The challenge. The years And cold defeat live deep in Lines along my face. They dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying, Because I love to live.

- Maya Angelou

A mountain dream home like the Flight House by Sage Architecture is hard to come by. The luxury mountain home shows a new way of looking at mountain houses.
