Often times if we’re not careful, we may miss many great things going on around us. This is especially true to those who are in leadership positions. You see, it’s the job of those in leadership positions to improve on processes or fix things that need fixing. However, if not careful, everything around you can appear to be broken. This is in large part due to always focusing on what is not working optimally.
There must be a balance for all of us, one part is to look for ways to improve our area of influence and the other is to appreciate the good things that are taking place around us.
When is the last time you walked around and said thank you to the person who does things to make your life and job easier? Or do you take them for granted while focusing on the small percent that makes your situation challenging? Sometimes it’s the challenging situations that put into perspective how much good we do have going on around us.
The storms of life help bring into focus what truly is important. They can help clarify our priorities while revealing who our true friends are. I guess what I’m trying to say is never lose the ability to look for the good in a situation, because there is always good to be found if you just hang in there. During one of the worst times in my life, a person I never thought cared for me, supported me in ways that I never expected.
You ever notice the nicest rainbows come after the most horrible rain storms? If you see someone who is losing hope or going through a tough time, please take the time to intervene and just be ready to assist when needed. Each one of us on Team Little Rock can help people with new beginnings and renewed hope by being that rainbow after the storm.
Combat Airlift!
