To Serve well

Serving with Excellence for a Life of Excellence

December 8, 2015

Shifting expectations

blog_743615_2819356_1449543735Why didn’t I think of this? We certainly had three red cozy coupes! I used to think I was creative and then as the years go by I am often stunned at the ideas that we all get to enjoy! What fun. Needless to say this little guy made me smile and I hope he makes you smile too!

Today I wanted to touch on the idea of “shifting expectations.” As we consider living out a life of excellence, we have some options. We have the power to make a simple shift in the way we see a situation in order to move forward in a positive direction. The “I get to” blog last month touched on that very concept.

I wanted to point something out here… many people think of this decision as “settling”- slight shift, but a big difference. Settling has a negative connotation and makes us feel like we lost somehow. Instead we shift that thought and make a healthy decision for our sake and everyone around us to move on and as a result we move foward! That is excellence.

My hope is that for this week (let’s take it one day, one week at a time…) you will shift along with me as our expectations for the system might overwhelm us. In this moment, shift to a focus on joy. Not the hurry, the hustle nor the chaos, but on the beauty created in the moments that fill our lives.
