Coaching Corner: Finding peace with what is
By Marilou Butcher Roth
As soon as I shifted into this line of thinking, I found myself in a delightful conversation with two gentlemen as we gathered around the electrical outlet, charging our phones. Both men were retired military and were sharing travel stories that were both humorous and informative! One of them had just returned from a visit with his niece in Turks and Caicos, and has found this destination to be at the top of his travel list. So much so that he bestowed upon me a beautifully done magazine illustrating the benefits of this location -- so enticing!
I then made my way to one of the restaurants and enjoyed dinner and a beer while taking in the vast opportunities in Turks and Caicos! Before I knew it, the time had arrived to go to my gate to board. Seriously, the time went by so quickly and easily!
How often do situations present themselves that are not part of what we have planned, and, ones that we clearly have NO control over? This will happen now and again to all of us and finding ways to not push against these experiences will bring you into an easier way of being. The more we push against something, the bigger and worse it gets! If we truly can't change something, isn't it a much better idea to go with the flow? I say yes to this and yes to a trip to Turks and Caicos!!
