It is full of ups and downs (just like life in general).
The key is to realize a “step backwards” isn’t a failure.
It’s necessary.
Diving boards have to dip before you can launch.
You have to fall down in order to get up.
You need to have those bike pedals crack you in the shin every once in a while in order to learn to be a bit more careful with those nasty things.
The point is, you can look at dips any way you want, but the truly successful people realize that the set-backs are actually just ways to change the narrative in order to create a truly successful story.
Don’t let the steps back stop you from dancing to success.
You will always presented with obstacles, or as my brother likes to call them “hurdles” in life.
They key is to just keep jumping. (Or in some cases, if that hurdle is meant for a giant, find another way around, under or through)
I truly hope you are not in the middle a huge tumultuous storm in your life right now, but if you are, I also hope you realize you have exactly what it takes to overcome, and to get to the calm on the other side.
You are THE ONLY person capable of living your amazing, exciting and challenging life.
“The chains of habit are too light to be felt, until they are too heavy to be broken.”🤔 Warren Buffet
We cannot grow into whom we want to be until we break some habits/anchors keeping us right where we are.
Break old habits, create new wonderful ones.
Examine your day today and find 1 or more habits that you know are keeping you down. Think of habits you would like to employ and create a vacuum to fill with those habits by cutting ties with the old ones.
One huge thing I dislike about elections (especially this one) is the way they tend to AMPLIFY our differences and erode our common ground.
I truly believe we should all support who we want to support.
We should back ballot measures that align with our personal philosophies for our lives, our families, our communities and our futures.
What I dislike is the way that people can stand on their “side of the voting line” and cut off the other side completely.
We are entitled to our views and we are allowed to express those views.
It is disheartening that those views can break friendships, end conversations and erode our peace.
No matter where you put your stake into the ground on the issues, realize we all share that ground, even if where I plant my stake is far removed from where you plant yours.
I am hopeful, that regardless of the voting results, we can start focusing on the commonalities we all share and work toward lessening the divide between humanity rather than increasing it.
Regardless,
I hope you have a wonderful day today (as well as the vast majority of days moving forward 🙂
