“Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.”
~ Sir John Templeton
At the center where I work, there is an after school kids program.
I happened to overhear as one of the adults admonishing a child "This isn't a game you know!'.
I chuckled.
Well yeah, it kind of is!
Life is a game or a puzzle if you will.
The trick is to learn how to play it.
When I remind myself of this, it really does remove a lot of the stress and tension for me.
Like any puzzle, there is always a solution.
It might not be easy to find, which is what makes the puzzle both challenging and exhilarating.
However,there is always a solution.
Years ago, my mentor Darren Hardy shared this tidbit with us in one of his daily messages:Get over Yourself!
Stop treating everything as a life or death issue.
It's not!
The other day, I did something that maybe wasn't the smartest choice I ever made.
To the others affected by my choice, the sky literally began falling.
People catastraphized and calamatized what in the end was truly a no harm no foul opportunity for us to establish protocols for such a situation in the future.
Nevertheless, for almost 24 hours I had to hear about this ad infinitum.
Give it a rest!
Life is too short.
Learn how to enjoy the game. It doesn't last forever!
Shabbat Shalom!
