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.

LWBJ: Who really is part of your Team?

If you know me well, you know I highly value working in teams.  Assembling, managing and especially inspiring them to succeed has been one of my strengths and passions.

However, here I refer to teams, as those individuals around us, that support and enhance everything we do, many times without acknowledgement or recognition.  It could be a supporting co-worker, employee, spouse, friend, neighbor and the list goes on.  What do we really do alone?   Or better yet...  Who packs your parachute?

Recognizing the work of the people that help us do what we do is key.  It can increase job and life satisfaction for all involved.  It could also create or grow the feeling of belonging to a common or greater cause.

More importantly, when we make the effort to become aware of the many “helpers” we have in life, gratitude feels our hearts and we might make changes, or adjust our business and life strategies as a result.

And yes, awareness  is a "muscle" we work, which ties to this week's video in my YouTube channel:  Be Aware of Your Thoughts.   So many important things happen that escape our attention and our thoughts are no different.  Thoughts ARE also part of your TEAM.   

I will continue to send messages that will hopefully be inspirational and thought-provoking for you.  I invite you to subscribe to be notified of my weekly videos.

Stay healthy, joyful and connected.
