You might think that’s an unusual thing to be grateful for, so let me explain.
No, I wasn’t immediately grateful any of the times I found myself in the position of being let go by my broadcast employer. I don’t think anyone ever does.
Blessings in Disguise
It takes a little time and space to realize, that being forced to think about your life and where you really want to be, can be the “boot in the butt” we really need at that moment in time.
As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I’ve lost a job, what came next was always better than what I had left behind. The same might also be said about love and relationships.
Always Be Grateful
The life lesson I want to share with you today is, we can’t see how the twists and turns of our lives will play out in the moment they occur, but if we choose to look for the positive in each event, we will find it; guaranteed.
Henry Ford put it this way:
Whether you think you can or think you can’t,
YOU’RE RIGHT.
The simile to those words I would contend are:
Whether you think what happens in your life is good or bad,
YOU’RE RIGHT.
Life is all about choices, and when it comes to how you deal with life’s events, you can choose to either embrace them as being good, or being bad. (Spoiler Alert: Life is better when you look for the positive in every situation.)
