How to have rain without storms 101.

a masterclass on perspective.

Hey you,

Ever seen a person who doesn’t own a car complaining of car trouble? Or a singleton having relationship issues (no shade intended, I promise you)? How about an entry level employee struggling with executive level decisions?

Listen! Some of the problems you are facing now wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t attained the level of success you did.

In any endeavor… Personal or professional.

It’s easy to beat ourselves up when we fail or fall short, sooo easy. But…

Remember?

No, take a moment and think back. Remember when you were praying to be earning what you currently earn, or when you wished to have the amount of responsibility that you’re complaining of now. Wanting to succeed without taking on the challenges that come with it, is like wishing for rain, but hoping for clear, noiseless and bright skies.

Often times, when the stress of work (& life) hits me and I start complaining or feeling ‘disadvantaged’, I try to remind myself that this is not just something I have to do, it’s something I GET to do. Like! I have the privilege of ‘enjoying’ an elevated category of ‘problems’, I get to enjoy these rains of blessings, so what’s a little thunder that I can’t handle?

And same thing applies to different aspects of life. So…

Remember?

I encourage you to, and I hope that jolts you to appreciate all you have now, and all you get to do.

Rooting for you, fam.

Keep Breathing.
