Today I was called out in my Leading Change Mastery course...called out HARDCORE. I may have mentioned my crappy week last week. My Coaches reply? "Did anyone die?"
No. "Did anyone become horribly ill"? No. Do you have a warm house to go home to tonight?". Yes.
She then told me loudly, in front of others..."Barbara, you need to find some perspective. You need to look outside of your small world"
Ouch.
Double ouch because the truth hurts.
I HAVE so much to be thankful for. I have so many things going for me right now, that others might kill for. Literally kill mind you. Why do I allow the small voice in my head to focus on the minuscule petty crap? It doesn't benefit me at all.
New Game Plan: Work on being happy NOW! Not when I lose X amount of LBS, not when I get a huge gig in CA, not when I meet a great guy....NOW.Now Now Now. Why not now?
My body may not be my ideal weight but it's fit, strong as fuck and healthy. Thankful for that. My car runs and is paid off. MY apt is comfy and my jobs pays the bills. I'm doing OK...much better than many.
When another person in our group poured out their heart....I got perspective and then some.

You much to be thankful for, but not least for being you, because you make the lives of those around you just a that littler bit more wonderful.
