Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.

-Wayne Dyer

When we insist on things going a certain way or a person acting how we want them to, we disempower ourselves.  Maybe you didn’t get that job or promotion.  Or a family member is acting like a jerk.

It’s easy to default to blaming or feeling stuck. While you can’t change the challenges that arise, you can change what you do next. Even if doing that thing is scary.

Like asking those questions or having that conversation.  Call up your boss and ask for valued feedback so you can learn for next time.  Share with your family member appreciation for your relationship and ask if you did or said something that might have upset them. How might you understand them better? How might you help?

Now you’ve opened up a whole new world of possibilities for yourself and the people who matter.
