Learn to Dance in the Rain
Ahh! It’s fall and all the leaves are in full on fire mode!! If you haven’t had the opportunity to take a hike in the fall and see the colors change… man, you are missing out. It’s one of the most beautiful sites on the planet. Your eyes almost can’t believe the wild colors they are seeing.
As we got on the trail today, we knew we had limited time because a storm was rolling in and we wanted to be down the mountain before the rain began to set in. No one likes hiking in the rain. The hike was a 7-mile hike. And through 1.5 miles of the hike, I kept looking at the sky watching, worrying, and trying to plan the exact time to turn around to miss the rain. At one point, I was even planning on turning around before we got to the end just to make sure we timed it right. I was so focused on avoiding the rain, I almost missed the best parts of the hike. At about mile 2, I thought "what the heck am I doing. I am prepared with a rain jacket; I have extra socks and pants… so what if it rains."
I realized today sometimes we live our lives this way. We are so focused on the challenges that may come our way we either miss the opportunity or the enjoyment of the journey. It’s not about avoiding the rain it’s about learning to dance in it. :)
And P.S. Guess what it didn’t even rain at all.
I highly recommend this hike in the fall:

Notes that Resonated:
Proper prospecting prevents sales poverty
A grateful thought is the most powerful weapon against fear, anxiety, anger
Give your mind something to gravitate to and magnetize
Place no limits on yourself Commit, act, succeed, repeat
Demand more of yourself than anyone demands of you
Success isn’t the same as talent
Are you so focused on your fear of losing that you can’t focus on what you have to do to win?
Winners never see problems. They always see situations that need solutions
Where am I now and where do I want to be instead? What do I need to do to get there and what’s holding me back? Remove the obstacle
Stress is developed from continued pressure over time that you have refused to deal with
Deal with the situation eliminate the stress
“Get on my level or get the hell out of my way.”
