Dancing in the Rain

One of our favorite quotes is...

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about dancing in the rain."

In other words, I can't just wait around until everything is nice and easy to create the life I want for myself; instead, I need to be able to make the most of what's happening around me and work through to the other side (I mean "dance" through to the other side!).

I'm working on this today. My "rain" came in the form of a Facebook direct message from my employee at my old job. She was in the midst of the storm (work), while I'm relaxing on vacation. She let me know that things were only getting worse at work. After reading that message, it has been taking great effort to redirect my thoughts toward what I want, rather than focusing on what I don't want.

Here's the technique I'm using: each time I begin thinking about what I don't like at my new job, I make a conscious effort to simply begin thinking about what I DO want in my new job...the quality of people I work with, the feeling I have throughout - and at the end of - a work day, and the FUN this job brings into my life.

Let it rain - I'm busy dancing!
