Perspective & choice
Some days you hear the birds singing.
Other days, it’s just the alarm ringing.
Some days the sun hits your face just right.
Other days, you wake up already in a fight.
Some days the phone won’t stop with good news.
Other days, silence feels like it’s judging you.
Some days the numbers work.
Some days they don’t.
Some days you feel on top of the world.
Some days you wonder how you got here at all.
Most people see opposites.
Good days and bad days.
Winning and losing.
Success and failure.
I don’t.
I see choices.
The choice to stay present or spiral.
The choice to respond or react.
The choice to learn or to harden.
The choice to lead yourself when no one else is watching.
As Mahatma Gandhi once said,
“They can never take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.”
The world will always bring contrast.
Business will always test you.
Life will always apply pressure.
But your mindset is not something that happens to you.
It is something you practise.
The work is not removing the bad days.
The work is choosing who you are on them.
That is where real growth lives.
(PS - the pic is a commission i got painted by the artists Zinsky because of how inspiring Gandhi life and achievements are - if ever you need to understand the power of resilience, mindset and silence is - read about his life)
