With a life changing lesson
that-
Just because you’re in a
stressful situation doesn’t mean that you have to get stressed out. You may be
in the storm.
The key is , don’t let the
storm in you.
WOW
!!!
Last spring I was walking in a park. A
short distance
ahead of me was a mom and her
three-year-old daughter.
The little girl was holding on to a
string that was
attached to a helium balloon.
All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind
took the balloon
from the little girl. I braced myself
for some screaming
and crying.
But, no !
As the little girl turned to watch her balloon
go skyward, she gleefully shouted out,
" Wow ! “
I didn't realize it at that moment, but
that little
girl taught me something.
Later that day, I received a phone call
from a person
with news of an unexpected problem. I
felt like
responding with "Oh no, what
should we do?"
But remembering that little girl, I
found myself saying,
"Wow, that's interesting! How can
I help you?"
One thing's for sure - life's always
going to keep us
off balance with its unexpected
problems. That's a given.
What's not preordained is our response.
We can choose to be frustrated or
fascinated.
No matter what the situation, a
fascinated "Wow!"
will always beat a frustrated "Oh,
no."
So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts,
remember that little girl and make it a "Wow!" experience.
The
"Wow!" response always works
