,
Lately, I've been feeling a little bit like Goldilocks. You know, the girl that required a few first and then second tries and then finally on the third attempt she found what was just right for her?
Whether it has been seeking out a facialist, a grocery store, a house to make an offer on or even something as simple as my favorite walking paths with the dogs, it takes a few first undesirable attempts before settling on one that is just right for my personality, schedule and peace of mind.
The experience of trying out multiple options before selecting what is best for us is a lesson I have to remind myself as to offer reassurance that I need not give up if the first attempt is unsuccessful. Simply because my first attempt at
reaching out to new friends wasn't successful doesn't mean I should stop putting myself out there. Quite the contrary. It is by reaching out, having "failed" experiences, that we hone our sense of what will be precisely what we want and need in our lives.
While, yes, it would be lovely to have everything we seek work out the first time, I argue that we wouldn't fully appreciate it if it did.
So today, reconsider searches,
attempts and pursuits that you have put on the shelf. Perhaps you are closer than you think to finding exactly what you will never want to live without.
In this week's newsletter, I hope you find something that inspires you, makes
you smile or reminds you how wonderful the life you've created for yourself and those you love has become. Thank you again for choosing to subscribe to TSLL weekly newsletter and have a lovely, relaxing weekend. Until next week, I'll see you on the blog.
