Sliding Doors


Hello to all,


Life is full of "sliding doors". Changes, opportunities, choices, losses, grief, growth...


It has been said (because I've heard it or read it some place a number of times so it must be so, right?) that life is 10% what happens and 90% what we do with what happens and how we are with what happens.
For example, every day my late husband's step father is pulling on his boots, putting a smile on his face and choosing to live in gratitude for what life has given him vs. what he has lost and what he is currently facing. He lost his 36 year old daughter to cancer a year and a half ago, his father within the past year and my husband Rory almost 4 years ago. Now his wife, is facing serious health challenges. Although, this is extraordinarily painful to say the least, the lesson here it seems is to find the inner peace and the gratitude.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Colleen's Coach question: What sliding doors are you opening (or have opened for you) and what and how do you wish to "be" with your 90%?
