I think it’s safe to say that…
Today you’re going to get irritated, however the question that needs to be asked is are you going react or respond to that irritation.
Are you going to focus your energy on the problem or are you going to focus on the possibilities? Here’s a story I found in some of my old papers the other day. I’m not sure where it’s from but, at any rate it will help you to focus correctly.
“A grain of sand finds it’s way inside the shell of an oyster. The intruder, though microscopic in size, is a source of irritation and pain to the soft body of the oyster. Unable to rid itself of the unwelcome pebble, the oyster seeks to reduce the irritation by coating it with layers of soft, iridescent Mother of Pearl material from it’s shell. Over time the oyster transforms a painful irritation into a beautiful pearl of great value.”
So, I my question to you is are you going to concentrate on the pain or possibilities? Are you going to focus on the pebble or the pearl? Transform potential breakdowns into breakthroughs and persist as the oyster does until you succeed.

Smoothing out a grain of sand is a powerful opportunity to evolve! It’s like the pearl for us as humans is greater understanding about ourselves, what our triggers are, and how we want to manage them. Love the post. Thanks!
