Good morning! The first
time I read this quote, I smiled knowingly. When I started my first
business at age 22, I still believed in a very black-and-white concept
of fairness. I believed that if I worked hard enough, good results
would come my way in work endeavors. I believed that if I lived in a
loving, caring and compassionate way, my personal life would be full of
loving, caring and compassion.
I now realize that life is fair in the long-term, even though it rarely seems fair in the short-term. Often what we "think is fair," is actually one-sided, and we can't see fairness until we have grown, stretched and visited other perspectives and places. I do know the quickest way to make life unfair and stay "stuck" is to not accept everything life offers. When we become picky or choosy about what we accept -- trying just to extract the good and leave the bad -- we shutdown to the balance and fairness of life. Often "the bad" comes for a reason. It comes to make us grow; it comes to make us see something new; it comes to challenge our spirit and build our soul. When we refuse to welcome this "bad," we refuse to welcome that growth. Some of my experiences that looked so awful at face-value, ended up being my best teachers. They carried me to places I never could have reached without them. Had I not gathered the courage to accept these challenges, I wouldn't be writing this email this morning. Your Turn: I understand that each of life's challenges is vital to reaching my full potential. I embrace and welcome these challenges with open arms. | |||||||
