#188 The mud season can be a massive mess!
Growth Instigators Hotline

At one point living high in the Colorado mountains I’ve lived through what is known as the mud season. The mud season can be a massive mess!
Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons every week day! This is message #188 and I am Aaron Havens.
The mud season is when all the winter snow, often time feet deep, is melting quickly and running down the mountains into streams. And yep, wet dirt is mud. So basically, it’s muddy nearly everywhere for a couple months. So any back road or dirt road is nearly impossible to travel unless you have four wheel drive. And even then, the first person to attempt traveling these roads leave a determined path in the mud that everyone following must travel in. These are called ruts. And as more and more people travel these ruts get super deep. Eventually the ruts get so deep that one can put their 4x4 in drive, let go of the steering wheel and push on the gas. The rut determines where the vehicle can and can’t go.
What type of personality are you? Does this sound wonderful to you? For me, the ruts made me so mad. It felt restricting. I wanted the ability to steer where I wanted to go. HAHA. Maybe that shows how controlling and proud I am. I have a hard time riding in pre-determined paths when I feel my agency is gone. I should probably dive into that a bit more. Ok, enough soul searching for me. How about you?
Where are you in a rut? And is that ok with you or not. I’m here to instigate growth. So, keeping with the theme for the week… let’s do a simple and practical practice. Let’s learn a new word to keep our minds sharp. Ready
New Word spelled Eunoia, pronounced yoo-NOY-uh, is Greek in origin and means “beautiful thinking” or “a well mind.” In modern use, it reflects a state of goodwill or kindness toward others. It’s one of those rare words that can add depth to your vocabulary and also remind you to cultivate positive thoughts and goodwill. Challenge: Try using eunoia in a sentence today or reflect on how you might apply “beautiful thinking” in your interactions or personal mindset.
Thanks for calling in today. Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic. Where has your mud season created deep ruts. Are you ok with the ruts? If not, what are some practical things you can do to navigate out of possible ruts today? I would love to hear your thoughts after the beep.
