I recently heard @drphil say this in his podcast and I loved the phrase and its meaning.
Not everybody or everything you lose is a loss…
It is so hard sometimes to see the blessings or the wins when we are faced with any kind of disappointment.
This happening can be personal or business related. It does not matter. At the moment, we simply struggle with pain, or frustration, or fear, or despair.
Often, it is the passing of time that shows us that the person that is no longer in our lives, that promotion we missed, or that business that crashed, proved to be a positive.
Maybe we had to pívot, maybe we had to grow, maybe we had to reflect or maybe we had to further our education.
At the end, losing might have been what made us succeed. What made us shine. What made us happier.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
The sooner we make a decision either way, the faster we will again be on track when it comes to our own vision and goals.
Powerful Message
Such a powerful message 🙌🏻
This is why having a clear vision, and the certainty and confidence that we can reach it, are essential to succeed.
Visions are tied to dreams 💕 and confidence is just another muscle to train 💪🏻
Let us start “seeing” more so we can “be” more 🤩

Failure and Setbacks in Business
It might not be fun to face failure and setbacks but they are part of business.
Keeping a positive mindset and acknowledging that to fail is part of the game, will allow us to bounce back faster and probably smarter.
We might even strengthen our probabilities to succeed in a big way.
Never despair.
NOT Essential?
Were you considered Not Essential?
What did that mean to you?
What did it mean to your business?

LWBJ: Curiosity Is a Great Asset
Being curious is not always viewed as a positive trait. Many of us were raised to be discreet and careful to ask questions. We were taught to avoid being inquisitive and ultimately rude.
However, curiosity is really the desire to acquire knowledge. It can enable us to tap into information, opportunities and experiences that can be extremely fulfilling and valuable.
I find that individuals that stay curious as adults, tend to be very successful regardless of their field of expertise. They go beyond the obvious, beyond the information presented to them, and explore. They ask questions. They learn more, and faster.
So can we train to be more curious? Yes…
Here are some simple ideas so we can push ourselves to keep our minds more flexible and our knowledge bank richer:
Read more.
Read about a new subject.
Ask questions. Ask lots of questions. Instead of viewing curiosity as rude, we can perceive it as genuine interest.
Explore a new hobby.
Search and learn about a new destination/country, its culture and its people.
Keep an open mind.
There is no doubt that remaining curious is certainly enhanced by quieting some "voices," so I invite you to watch this week's video in my YouTube channel: The Voices We Allow.
I will continue to send messages that will hopefully be inspirational and thought-provoking for you. I invite you to subscribe to the channel to be notified of my weekly videos.
Stay healthy, joyful, and connected,
