Remain Open to the Possibilities

foreign [Music] it is really important in life to remain open to the possibilities it's really common that when something doesn't meet your expectations we see something it's not quite the way we wanted that we immediately judge the situation we get disappointed sometimes we shy away um you know because of the disappointment or the Judgment that it won't be exactly what we thought it was going to be so it just doesn't matter anyway and the reality is if you push through and you set your judgment aside and you keep an open mind you never know what you might find and I experience this in a really awesome way not long ago while I was away on vacation on a cruise I went out one morning to see the sunrise bright and early and it was cloudy and it was a yucky Sunrise still beautiful even the cloudiest of sunrises are gorgeous but it was not of Sunrise as you might call it went out the next day and same thing tons of cloud cover and I could have just said okay I saw cloudy Sunrise yesterday and gone back inside but I said it's beautiful and it's worth waiting to see what it looks like anyway well what that Sunrise turned out to be is the picture behind me with the sunrise I got to see a real Sunrise it wasn't covered by cloud cover turned out to be absolutely beautiful um and I got something extra special that honestly pretty once in a lifetime kind of experience because of the cloud cover and it wouldn't have existed but for the cloud cover I also got to look one way whoops wrong hand look one way to the sunrise and slightly over the left and there was a rainbow and a sunrise and the same View is probably not that unheard of but for me that's the first time in my entire life and I've watched a lot of sunrises in my life um it was pretty amazing and really special and had I gone back inside saying it's going to be cloudy like yesterday I would have shut the door on seeing something truly amazing and like I said kind of once in a lifetime for me so I say that because commonly as soon as something doesn't meet our expectations we walk away from it we get disappointed we judge it and we don't stay open to what it could be and we miss out on the beauty of it this comes in so many forms in our personal lives and our professional lives I tell you when something looks disappointing hold on a little longer because I bet there's a nugget of beauty that comes behind it [Music] thank you
