My office manager shared this quote today in our morning meeting about opportunity:
“Our lives are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces. When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it.”
Feel free to substitute your name for “Joel” 🙂
Joy is right brained, happiness is left brained.
Joy feeds happiness.
Creativity is right brained too…
Point: Attach joy to the creating/growth/improving, joy is the process.
Happiness is the logic/results.
Nothing wrong with being happy when we accomplish something. But when we can focus on the joy of the process, we will create a lasting positive impact and longer lasting happiness (because the process never ends and if we are joyful in it, we won’t run low on our “supply”)
Be joyful today!!
Don’t fall into maladaptive perfectionism: having high standards (which is a good thing) but always beating yourself up for small imperfections (not a good thing). Be a Satisfied Striver: Happy in the now with big dreams of the future, and knowledge you can improve.
“I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.”-Micheal J Fox
