It could be worse

Your situation could always be better.

Then again, it could be worse.

Regardless of your present challenges.

There is someone worse off than you.

 

 

“If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.” – Regina Brett

“There is always someone worse off than yourself.” – Aesop

 

Is it a process?

There could be …

… no process.

… a difficult process.

… an impossible process.

… the informal process.

… an old process.

… an immature process.

… an out-dated process.

… a process to get around the process.

… an agreed process.

… a supporting process.

… the new process.

… a formalised process.

… an established process.

… a repeatable process.

… an effective process.

… the documented process.

… an improved process.

… an automated process.

What process(es) do you have?

 

 

“We should work on our process, not the outcome of our processes.” – W. Edwards Deming

“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” – W. Edwards Deming

“If a business is to be considered a continuous process, instead of a series of disjointed stop-and-go events, then the economic universe in which a business operates – and all the major events within it – must have rhyme, rhythm, or reason.” – Peter Drucker

 

You are nearly at the finish, but …

The end is in sight.

You are nearing the finish line.

Keep pushing.

Don’t lose form.

Maintain your breathing.

Finish strongly.

Run through the finish line.

Then get ready for the next event.

 

“There are times when you run a marathon and you wonder, Why am I doing this? But you take a drink of water, and around the next bend, you get your wind back, remember the finish line, and keep going.” – Steve Jobs

“Resistance is greatest just before the finish line.” – Steven Pressfield

“There is no finish line. When you reach one goal, find a new one.” – Chuck Norris

 

Planting a positive seed

You could be the one that generates a spark in another.

The one that triggers an “aha” moment.

Initiates an epiphany.

Lays out the groundwork.

Plants the seed of an idea.

Then it is no longer yours.

 

“Success is… knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others.” – John C. Maxwell

“People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.” – Plato

 

What is stopping you from saying yes?

It makes sense.

It all adds up.

There is reluctance to commit.

You have the capability.

You have the resources.

Though hesitancy remains.

The pros outweigh the cons.

You have mitigated the downside.

Yet there is doubt.

Everyone is supportive.

People are ready to assist.

What is stopping you from saying yes?

Saying “yes” is an invitation.

An invitation to possibilities.

To progress.

To realising your potential.
