This is it, right now, one of those moments
Recognize when
it’s one of those moments
right now
and make a deliberate effort to create the space
for just that moment.
You will not have this chance again.
The Data You Choose
Instead of measuring your day by the events that frustrate
focus on the number of times you smile,
the number of times you see others smile.
The pieces of information you choose to focus on can help determine
the story you tell at the end of the day.
Time Is On Your Side
It takes discipline and patience and confidence and trust to recruit and then harness time, to resist the urge to jump in, direct, take action, issue judgment, to assiduously apply time like an emollient to the circumstances you face. It takes courage, insight and vision, and sometimes nerves of steel to enable time to work for you.
