Not everything that goes on in our lives is great – but there’s something great about every thing that goes on in our lives.

Sometimes we get so down about what didn’t happen that we don’t notice what did happen. If we focus on the lack or what’s bad or the negative, then that’s exactly what we’ll see – and often not much else.

There are two sides to every story, right? When something goes a bit sideways on me, I focus on asking “What’s Great About This?” – there’s bound to be something. If I am particularly stubborn in that moment and out pops the phrase “nuthin” – then I make an effort to stop, examine that and ask myself “What IF?” What IF there was something great about this, what would it be? What would that look like? What impact on me would that have? I call it “Playing the What IF? Game” and it comes in really handy; giving me some perspective when I’m missing that, showing me a different path or solution when one is not immediately apparent and at the very least I come away with a second option, possibly a few second options.

Here’s What’s Great – we live in the most extraordinary times, never in the history of the planet have things been so great, never has there been so much opportunity and abundance. Our business lives, our personal lives – we can create what we want, we can live out dreams if we so choose.

Sounds too good to be true? What if you decided it WAS true? What if?
