Some weeks are not worth clean socks or commuting time. We run out of time, of patience, of ideas... We encounter "no" where we need "yes" and blank stares where we hoped for comprehension. A mistake, bad news, a poor night's rest, unwelcome surprises and even one icky day can skew the week.
We've all had them.
It's easy to see the walls and dead ends during a week like that; I fixate on them. So how to also see the doors?
One of my mentors said that mistakes and set backs are part of the path so you can figure out where to go next.
So if we have a clear vision of what we're trying to achieve over a year/career/life... one week of ick is not going to be a very big wall or dead end. The vision is the door.
I've got my clean socks ready for tomorrow.
