Today's inspirational message in my e-mail comes from Cicely Tyson. It says challenges are those things that take us further than we ever thought we could go. So true. I'm in a challenging place now with my job. It's something that keeps rearing its ugly head ever since I started this job - different people, different situations. It probably won't go away until I face it and my complicity in the challenge. That's the tough thing. It's easier sometimes to think in terms of things "happening to us." But the truth is we've made decisions all along the journey that have brought us to particular places. If the same type of challenge keeps reappearing, I'm convinced we've missed something when first dealing with it. The first step is to recognize that and get out of the victim mode. Take responsibility for what is happening and make a concerted effort to not be in that type of challenge again.
Then it will be time to start all over again with one more challenge that takes us further than we ever thought we could go.
