It’s all over the airwaves and internet. Doom and gloom. People are losing jobs – losing their homes. Businesses are failing – and NOT being bailed out. You may know some or many. You may be among them.
Or maybe you or someone you know seems on top of the world only to be told they have a life threatening medical condition?
Or what about that perfect couple that suddenly divorces on less than amicable grounds?
Or the loss of a loved one - person or pet?
Or those “natural” disasters by Mother Nature – the wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods?
And don’t forget accidents – car crashes, house fires, slip-and-falls?
The point is that “Stuff” Happens! How we react to it dictates if we are going to fail, or survive and thrive.
Sometimes my clients seem frustrated with me when I do not allow them to stay stuck in the “gunk.” They tell me, “I know there are others worse off than I am, but that’s them and this is me. This is happening to me right now.”
My response: "Yes, you are absolutely right! So what are YOU going to do about it?”
Stuff happens to ALL of us. If we give up and give into it – we lose. So why not try re-framing and refocusing. Make a little lemonade!
We all can go onto that bigger and better job – create our own company – find a more compatible romantic partner – change our habits to fight a medical challenge -find the good in a situation and WORK IT!
I am happy to report that many of my friends and associates have gone on to do just this and have succeeded. New jobs have been won – new homes have been secured – new romances have flourished…and my friend with the medical condition has had to slow down and stop his workaholic ways for now, which has given him time to become closer to friends and family while working on recovery.
Good does come to those who look for it!! Stuff Happens..So why not make it GREAT!
Cheers to YOUR SuCCess!
