"To be
successful you must accept all challenges that come your way.
You can't just accept the ones you like."
~Mike
Gafka
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 brings. 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:
Where in your life have you been trying to just "take the good and
leave the bad?" What challenge does life have for you that you have
been avoiding because it doesn't seem "fair?" As February comes to a
close, I challenge you to accept all that life offers--the good and the
bad. During the month of March, I encourage you to meet a challenge
eye-to-eye, welcome it, and see where it might carry you.
Your
Affirmation:
I understand that each of life's challenges is vital to reaching my
full potential. I embrace and welcome these challenges with open arms.
And as always,
don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And
when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
