Now that it's officially October, I'm allowing myself to drink pumpkin spice latte's, and it has truly made my Monday morning a little brighter. I love how the little things, can make me stop and smell the roses, or coffee, in this case. It is the start of a new month, and a new week, and for me, the start of quarter end! I'm going to need a lot more coffee! LOL.
Over the last few weeks, I have really been tested at work. I can tell that people are being put in front of me so that I can grow and work past some things in my life. Like, how I can't control everything. And, no matter what job I work in, there will always be challenging people that I need to work and partner with.
I read something recently that kind of put it into perspective. Gold, when found in nature, is encased in rock and must be manually removed. I don't know the science behind it, but these rocks must be crushed, chemically treated, and heated to a really high degree in order to extract the gold. If you were the gold, none of this sounds pleasant. But, just like in our lives, we are tested and made to feel frustrated, so that things we need to deal with boils to the surface. Once at the surface, we can face these things and deal with them, so that they are no longer problems in our lives. Our issues no longer hold us back, and we are therefore left more pure.
Today, let's really enjoy that sip of coffee, put on our game faces, and go out and face the day knowing that by facing our own personal challenges, we will only be a better, more pure person tomorrow.
