What are you building?
Just a minute...I need a smile here!
Are you building a family, a business, a lifestyle, a home? We’re all building something. And we all get excited when things work well, as planned. But what do you do when things don’t work as planned? Do you give up, start over, or scrap it?
Let me make a suggestion.
NEVER give up or scrap it. INSTEAD.... try looking at it a different way, possibly with the eyes of a child? And have faith that it’s not hopeless. I’ve had many times in my life when things seemed hopeless. Then I applied a child-like faith in those around me, and even in myself. Amazingly, ideas came that I never even imagined before.
With those new ideas, things seemed to work better than before, simply by me not stressing and pushing to make it happen. I was able to relax, and of course, SMILE more. By trusting in myself and believing in others. Let’s face it, adults are very mistrusting of others. Yet most folks are worth trusting if we give them a chance. I’m not suggesting trusting those who’ve proven they can’t be trusted, or trusting someone who is sketchy. Nope. I’m talking about those around you that you’ve tested and they can be trusted. And of course, trusting your own self. We forget to trust ourselves more often than we admit. Believe you can, and smile.
