“Either define the moment, or the moment will define you.”
Walt Whitman
Missing the moment… or learning the lesson.
I had an opportunity for a powerful moment last week.
Got a ‘B’. Should of gotten an ‘A+’.
I missed the moment.
Looking back, I should of done so much more. I can’t get it out of my mind.
I’m ‘shoulding’ all over myself.
It was a great moment.
I missed it.
Been thinking about it all morning.
Focusing on it so much I start cursing myself.
It’s killing me.
An object in motion stays in motion. And my motion ‘ain’t’ good.
Fortunately (unfortunately), I’ve had this feeling before.
I’ve ‘learned ‘ this lesson before.
Different situation, same sucky feeling.
Used to ask, “why?” Would say (mostly sarcastically),
“Thank you God, thank you for this lesson once again.”
Now I say, “Thank you for this lesson, I’ll learn it well”.
And I think about the lesson.
What am I to learn? Is there something I could of done better?
And then I play my game, ‘Find the Positives’.
It’s great I was able to have the opportunity.
I learned a valuable lesson.
I’m now better prepared.
I’ll do much better next time.
Thank you for this lesson.
I’m much clearer now.
If I attracted this opportunity, I can attract more of them.
I’m getting so much better at this.
I’m so glad I learned this lesson now.
What a great learning experience.
I can do this.
I was made for this.
I’ve got this.
This could be the best thing that ever happens to me.
Did you ‘miss the moment’ recently.
Are you having a problem letting it go?
It could be the best thing that ever happened to you.
Try today’s practice, “Find the Positives”.
Take 60 seconds and come up with as many positives as you can think of in your situation. Watch it change your energy.
And have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,
Michael
