The Climb: Growth, Potential, and Seeds of Opportunity
Hello, hello!
Today, our real talk topics are somewhat of a buffet; let's talk growth, potential, seeds of opportunity.
It is not difficult at all to point out what is wrong. Right? Think about it. It is easier to be critical than it is to be complimentary. If you like something.. most of us will keep it so ourselves. We have to be persuaded to provide feedback. However, if you don't like something, if we don't hold back. We tell in and everyone who will listen. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said, "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain, and most fools do." I'd like to add .any fool can just criticize, just condemn, and just complain. Most well, you get what I'm trying to say.
As we find ourselves in this constant cycle of change brought on by the COVID 19 crisis, wear a mask, don't wear a mask, mask ordnance, I refuse. States reopening, states delaying reopening, work from home, return to work, schools reopening. And by the way, we are still dealing with divisiveness as a result of racism and injustice. Many of us are wondering what that heck is going on?
We are more inclined to criticize the wrong than recognize the good; we are more prone to criticize the wrong than recognize the opportunity for growth. We are more willing to criticize than to lean into our own potential, our own capacity to become and develop into something in the future. I believe that we were created to be a solution to a problem, an answer to a question. Sadly, we are more inclined to criticize than to recognized seeds of opportunity to be the solution.
Let me give you a simple example. My first overseas duty station was in Korea. I'd been in the Army all of three years, and then they up and relocate me to Korea without asking me. Go figure. All of the creature comforts that I'd become accustomed to. You know my favorite restaurant, malls, movie theaters, cable, friends, own car, four-day weeks. All those things that make a home, home. I would no longer have access. Normalcy would have to be re-established, I was stationed at Fort Campbell and my family lived in Alabama, so I would go how often.
