Today’s Monday Mindset: Whenever You Hit a Roadblock
So, I’m here in Newfoundland with my son, Zachary and his friend Jack. We’re here at Jelly Bean Lane. You can notice in the background, all the houses are a different color, which is really neat.
But this trip nearly didn’t happen because a month ago we discovered there were no rental cars available. We could have just said, “Well, I guess we’ll just have to cancel the trip.”
But my mom taught me that where there’s a will, there’s usually a way. So, we got a little creative here and at the recommendation of a friend, we got a U-Haul pickup truck to rent for the week. Yeah, it’s kind of funny when we stay in Airbnbs and they see a U-Haul rental truck coming in, they’re going to think we’re trying to empty the joint. But this is my son, Zachary in the black and his friend, Jack and we’re here having an adventure.
The reason I share this with you is because sometimes you’re going to hit obstacles and you’ve got to find a way over, under, around or through them. And I’ve realized that throughout my life, that with nearly every dream I wanted to bring to life, it required some level of stubbornness, pigheaded stubbornness, to just decide it’s going to happen. When you decide, you can usually find a way.
Where there’s a will, there’s usually a way.
So, that’s your Monday Mindset for today, whatever it is that you’re going after, or want to bring to life, just know it’s going to require some level of perseverance. You’ve got to meet those obstacle head on with a resiliency and stubbornness to bring that dream to life.
