This week at work I had some wins and losses. That’s just past of how it will go, but if you keep persistent and consistent there will be more WINS than the losses.

I was kicking myself because I overlooked a very important email that required a status update to our entire department!!! Even the VP on the call… and guess what?

Didn’t have my slide in the deck!!! But I gave a brief update anyway. I was so upset! I hate to miss things that are required of me.

Here is what I did…

Quickly chatted with my boss on the matter. Went back to the original request and saw the detail that I missed— in other words I owned my oversight of this task!! I still provided a brief update anyway on the fly. I reached out to the organizer to apologize for my oversight. Began preparing the slide asap to add anyway and be ready for next months look-back.

Moving forward throughout the week, a win for me was supporting my team on other tasks, stepping in and up where required and offering to help others learn some stuff. This way we all are effective. We can all collaborate.

I reached out to a colleague that needed a checkin!

Went into the office twice this week to get stuff done and connect with workers on site.

I helped to draft the October newsletter for my Business Resource Group called “Inspire”. It was released just in time today. I also shared it with my team. They loved it. ♥️😊

The point of all this?

Focus towards going after more wins. The losses are important too because we LEARN from them and we learn how to do better. We don’t stay stuck in a loss. We move towards creating more wins. It takes grit! Intentionality! Persistence! Protectiveness!

This is what we do with wins and losses! We keep learning and relearning and producing better results!

I am upset by the loss. But I didn’t let this one thing push me back. In fact— it pushes me forward for what’s next. A mindset for growth and to obtain greater! That’s what the desired result is.

Better!!! Wins!!!

You can do it! Every day is just another opportunity, so pick your head up out of the loss, learn from it and prepare now to do better.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:17

So I must say — I have been a bit inundated for the month of August with work stuff –but good stuff. All a big learning season and a learning curve.

I am building, working, planning, strategizing, configuring, testing and training! What have I learned? When they say, “This can’t be done?” I say, “Challenge Accepted!”

What else can be done besides all the “No’s” of life.

We keep hearing all the worst case scenarios and think — “this is it!” New approaches and technology can sometimes be daunting.

Why not change that mindset to think — “this is THAT!”

This is that thing that will push you forward and catapult you to come up with another way of doing something. This will provoke thought, reason and innovation. This will actually get the job done, just in a different way. We have to THINK! This isn’t it! This isn’t over. This is THAT thing that makes you seek the very next best.

You have it in you to do more, be more, say more and give more. You can make the biggest contribution and significance when it comes to problem solving. You can make your mark by doing the most and by doing that with others. Team efforts make for the best output.

So please — stand with me and tell your situation, “Challenge Accepted!”

It’s not over.
It’s not done with.
It’s not a bad report.
It’s not the end.
It’s not the worst.

This is THAT which will push me to find the best way that works for us all –but most importantly what settles me to draw out what has been buried in me all along. Talent! Ideas! Inspiration in manifestation!

So the challenges in life, work, school, family or whatever you find yourself in now ought to be an inspiration for you. It is only an opportunity for you to experience greatness. Challenges should inspire us. There is a way.

The solution has always been there — YOU! ARE! THE! SOLUTION!

Did you know that?

And it begins with having that inner grit. That resilient spirit. A tenacious soul. A go-getter attitude. A right mindset and growth perspective. It is having a willing heart. Remember — mediocrity says, “I am doing the best that I can.” But legendary says, “I can do better.”

So let the challenges –allow you to give the most so that you can experience results that can be transformative! The struggle is where you learn. The issue is where you blossom. The blessing is in the lesson. The thing that you think you can’t manage — YES YOU CAN! You can do anything and you can be anything that you set your mind to accomplish. Anything that you are consistent with will yield results.

“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

News you hear today is only a perception that you need for a greater tomorrow. It is never the worst. It is never over. There is always a way. Life can’t bring you down, no matter what they say or what you hear.
