All Sorts of Potential
It takes 30 minutes to get through security. You are delayed for hours at your connecting flight due to weather at your final destination. You end up on a different plane, without your luggage, and you fly to an airport other than your destination. You have to take a train from Long Island to New York to meet your family. You then find out your luggage is at LaGuardia, and the “Cattle Car” airlines (you know who I mean) tells you it is your responsibility to go get it. Any one of these events provides the potential for you to spin totally out of control with frustration. Combine them all and you have the makings for a nice potential meltdown. You then pull in Penn Station, see your daughter, your sister and your nephew, and it all goes away. You have arrived for your first visit to New York City. That was my friend Judi’s day yesterday.
Have you noticed how some people allow situations totally out of their control to blow up their entire day? I know some that would have been storming around and bitching about all the events. No amount of bitching and complaining is going to slow the winds down. Airlines do not control the weather. When flights are delayed and rerouted, it is costing them money somewhere in the grand scheme. Being delayed is better than being a statistic from a plane going down due to weather.
All sorts of potential exists each day for us to blow up and go nuclear. That same potential is there for us to embrace and worth with to make the best of the day and situations we are dealt. Oh, wait! Isn’t that called life?
So what will you do with the Thursday December 2nd dose of potential? Will you allow the upsets of the day to steal your joy, or will you move through them with an attitude of what’s next? It‘s your potential and your choice.
