Defining Moments

Defining Moments

All too often we place so much value and emphasis on one single event in our lives...and we let it define us - good or bad.

Sometimes a person will let that one event dictate and control their entire life.  

Yes, there are “defining moments” in our lives…

However, I believe our lives are defined by how we respond to them.

For example, a tragic loss (like a death in the family) could put you in the gutter or be the catalyst to something wonderful… 

Yes, the loss is still there.  It still hurts.  It still sucks.  But, what you DO in response to it is a CHOICE...and that choice is really what defines you.

I guess my point to all of this is…

Don’t let one mistake, one bad decision, one loss, one...whatever...be the thing that stops you from achieving a goal.  Instead, use it as a lesson or even an opportunity to pivot.

I’ve seen it countless times…

A person doing a transformation challenge has a “bad” weigh-in.  Then what?

Some give up and quit, while others review the week and figure out what they can do better/differently going forward...
