When Bad Things Happen

admin | Response | Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I have had a rough two weeks. A lot of really difficult and challenging things have happened. But like all motivational speakers and all really good speakers on any topic, I have been trying to see what I can learn from these experiences that I can eventually share with my audiences. Bad things can make great stories!

As all these things were happening I realized that I had so many ways I could responded to them. I could break down, grieve and cry, I could sit on my couch and eat chocolate ice cream and watch old movies, I could call friends and I could take action and move through them. I chose all the above, but most importantly I did not stay in victim mode.

When you take action you gain control and momentum to move through the bad and out the other side. There is the wonderful Chinese saying you made have read, “Change is opportunity riding on dangerous winds.”

The dangerous winds have been blowing through my life, I could let them toss me willy nilly, instead I think I will open my wings and fly to something better.

Were your dangerous winds taking you? Are your wings open?
