Words of Wisdom and Action..............................
"The grass isn't greener", is a common saying we have all heard and probably used, but the article below addresses this and your importance! Each obstacle you over come has made you a stronger person, teacher, friend and/or colleague. You were chosen to work with particular students because of the specific talents you possess. A growth mindset is not always easy for adults either as we want everything to be perfect every time, but it's your reactions that are most important!
The Grass Isn’t Greener - Feb. 27, 2012
Posted by Jon Gordon
We often think that the grass will be greener somewhere else.
We believe we’ll be happier and more successful anywhere but where we are.
And so we pursue happiness.
And chase success.
Thinking one day we will magically find them. But rarely will we find find happiness and success by seeking them.
I’ve learned if you want success you can’t chase it.
Instead you must decide to make a difference where you are… and success will find you.
I’ve learned if you want to find happiness don’t seek it.
Instead decide to work with passion and purpose… and happiness will find you.
Happiness is a byproduct of feeling fulfilled.
The key to experiencing real success and true happiness is to be The Seed and plant yourself.
When you plant yourself where you are with a passionate desire to make a difference you’ll grow into the influencer you were born to be.
When you serve in small ways you get more opportunity to serve in bigger ways.
Too many people want instant success and gratification right now! Too many athletes want to be traded because think they’ll be more successful on another team. Too many employees complain that their co-workers aren’t working hard enough and this affects their own performance. Too many sales people compare themselves to others and become frustrated and disengaged. Too many people worry about what everyone else is doing instead of focusing on what they are doing. Too many people run from challenges instead of developing stronger roots.
If you are like me, you’ve been one of these people. Most of us have at one time or another. It’s human nature after all.
That’s why I want to encourage you to remember that your job is not to worry about things you can’t control.
Your job is not to run away from where you are in the hope of finding greener pastures.
Your job is to plant yourself each day and be the best you can be and bring out the best in others.
Your job is to grow yourself and grow others.
When you do this and allow yourself to be used for a greater purpose, a greater purpose will move through you and bring greater opportunities, greater success and greater joy and happiness to you.
The greenest pasture is not somewhere else. It’s the place where you plant yourself and grow into the leader you were born to be. When you do, you’ll produce an abundant harvest filled with real success and true happiness.
