YOUR CHALLENGE

Things happen as we move along in life, some in our control and some not. We may lose our job, have a job we hate, get divorced, have our car stolen, catch the flu, miss the bus, ruin our favorite top, etc. Do we then get into the "if only" process? "If only I had a great job, I'd be happy." "If only I listened to my friends, I would never of gotten married." "If only my life/job/marriage would be better, I'd be happier/richer, etc."

I thought we could all learn from these two quotes (one from a very clever little bear):

"I was going to change my shirt but I changed my mind instead" said Pooh

"We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails"

Things do happen in life. Our shirt may get dirty or the direction of the wind may change, but the thing we have control over is our view of the situation. We can control our reactions, thoughts and the direction we choose to take. We can make our life better, the same or worse. It's up to us.

My challenge to you is to look at your personal "if only" situation and evaluate it for a while. I want to put to you a "what if." What if you adjusted your sails to suit the wind? What if you changed your mind's view? How would it look now? Where may this take you? Try it!
