foreign things rarely go our way Louie we expect them to go the world is changing incredibly rapidly around us even as I sit here and I'm filming this video my dog who was quiet a second ago is bouncing around on the couch behind me and you keep hear that Creek so things generally don't go the way you plan them to and those who live in a more flexible mindset who are agile who are adaptable who look at the world as opportunities and possibilities instead of a fixed mindset that when things happen they get stuck and have a hard time moving forward those are the individuals that make things happen because the world is changing and it's changing rapidly and it's happening in your personal world and it's happening in your work World things happen with your customers with your employees you walk in every day and it is not the way you expected it to be when you were driving into work or hopping on your computer right if in a remote work World which again is change so you come home and someone's now sick and now you change your schedule the next day because your kid's sick and you're not going to be able to go into the office as planned we're living in flu strep covet and everything else right now so the reality is there's lots of things coming at us constantly that are changing around us and those who get stuck in moments of change and go well this was my plan now what um have a really hard time adapting and honestly they get stuck a lot but those who have see the world through possibilities or opportunities right say okay here's a new challenge but what opportunities does that open up for me I will give you one we had somebody who was sick related to our Thanksgiving and the weather here in Atlanta thankfully was beautiful in 60 degrees and I said we'll move it outside and that way we didn't have to leave family members out that we might have otherwise so just simple things like that look for the possibilities and opportunities to do something different unique and to include and figure out what options are out there for you because of the fact that this change has occurred so don't think of change as bad or all these things that are happening to you as happening to you and you've got to respond but rather they're creating opportunities for you and what possibilities exist when you are flexible like that and agile and can respond with positivity and opportunities and possibilities the opportunities are truly endless when you have a fixed mindset and those changes frustrate you and they just they ruin your plans and you just have to figure out a new plan and that's the mindset you go to it you're stuck and it's very hard to change and it caught in the emotions of it rather than seeing the opportunities behind it so for today look at the changes that are coming at you because they're coming at you right and left as opportunities and possibilities and see what you can do with them to make the world better than had the change not occurred in the first place that's my challenge to you today [Music]
