The glass in my eyes in always half full. There are always positives that come out of negative situations. More importantly, not only are there positive effects, there are learning experiences. There are always key take aways from any situation.
Here is a list of my learning experiences from this week.
1. Difficult situations call for remaining level headed and calm. Reacting to a situation emotionally may cause the situation to become more complex.
2. You can't solve everyone's problems. Sometimes, it is necessary to coach others in finding their own answers to their situations.
3. Just as we want our students to be independent, we also want our parents to be independent. Consider what measures need to be taken in order to help our community gain independence.
4. The day is enjoyable when you focus on things that you can control and change to make a difference. Dwelling on what you can't drains you.
5. Set high goals and expectations for yourself. Reflect and be mindful of the steps that are necessary to achieve those goals. Never settle for adequate or satisfactory achievement.
6. There is always an opportunity to learn. Take the time each day to ask yourself, "What did I learn today?". "How can I apply what I learned to tomorrow?".
Is your glass half empty or half full when you start your day?
