Good Morning,
Yesterday, Feedblitz fixed my messages so that you can now respond directly to me again. Thank you for your patience!
A few weeks ago while I was doing my Sunday morning parking lot greeting it had started to rain. I was prepared with an umbrella and walked around the parking lot greeting folks and offering to walk them in under my umbrella if they wanted. One lady looked at me and smiled and said as she declined my offer: "I'm not going to melt" Then she walked off to her destination.
That caught my attention. Here was someone who was going to face a bit of discomfort, walking in the rain, and have to sit around in somewhat wet clothes and did so gladly. She realized that the worst that would happen to her was getting wet, that she was not like the Wicked Witch of the West from the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' who when doused with warm water started melting and died.
How often in life do we shy away from taking actions or doing things which our fear of discomfort is so strong that we do fear we will melt?
Nike brand athletic shoes has the motto: "Just Do It".
When we acknowledge what we don't want to do and just do it, we often get more accomplished in life. Better yet, we achieve more when we roll up our sleeves and go to work.
Statistics also support the value of not worrying about 'getting wet'. Most successful people are not those who are the smartest or the most trained, or the most educated. Rather the most successful people in life are those who just rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
Not matter what you have to face or what challenges before you, maybe take another look to see if the risk you face is no more than just getting a little wet or if you will melt.
If you won't melt, then why not roll up your sleeves and get to work?
Enjoy!
