| Tracy Porter Be Extraordinary Video: Focus on the POSITIVE! |
|
I have a little story to share with you… as I’m always one to try to grow from
lessons learned. Makes us all the wiser, don’t you think?! You see, at one point in my life, I had quite a bit going on all at once (hmmmm… I know…. You do too…. We all do….) but what makes this story-worthy…. Is that I’ve gained valuable PERSPECTIVE.
The year that John and I were married, we bought a fixer-upper farm in
Wisconsin…moved from Chicago, and started our entrepreneurial business. Quite a few rights of passage all at once… but not to me. I have always been one to take on as much as possible… to strive towards goals…. To keep saying yes to myself (and everybody else too). And then… One morning… my body just stopped. I couldn’t
function… and after tests and tests… the conclusion was simple: STRESS. Not me. No, not me. I am a positive person… I’m a happy person… I am an on-the-fly-can-handle–everything-beautifully-kind-of-person.
Not so.
So…..I learned in that moment to really LEARN…. About myself…. And about how to use this
perspective to guide me through a lifetime of busyness. I simply decided that like everything…. Overwhelm and stress is also a choice. I chose to listen. I keep my eyes up to the sky…. And my mind focused on the positive. I do hope you can take away something from my sharing….
Remember that we all need to find balance… to focus on the good… to embrace the sweetness of life.
Be extraordinary!
