Who is to say what is good vs. what is bad?
In reality things happen and that’s it. Labels are not needed. Things are the way they are.
We are the ones who assign labels and decide if that “thing” is good or bad.
The idea as to what is good or bad is subjective to say the least.
I can see something as great and someone else can see that same thing as terrible. My reality is different than yours.
As an entrepreneur and as a human being I cannot tell you how many times something that was initially perceived as “good” really was not so great in the end.
In business this could be landing that whale of an account, but it ultimately ends up sucking all of the resources out of your company, so you lose other accounts in the process.
The same is true for bad events….at the time that “bad” thing happens it seems like the end of the world but when you look back, we see that bad thing as a blessing.
Maybe you lost a deal and missed your numbers….but that loss made you refocus your efforts and discover something new and better in the process all because of that set back.
This cycle goes on and on…..and on.
Thom and I discuss this topic further.
I share a story that anyone who knows me has probably heard 1 too many times.
