The weather on day 2 of our little weekend island getaway is not ideal. Cold. Rainy.
When I mentioned it to Aliya she said “I know it’s not great but it’s out of my control so I’m going to have a great time and make the best of it anyway”
This reminded me of two things.
1) A huge part of success in life is how you react to things both small and large. So many people when confronted with bad weather on their vacation, would, at best, pout or, at worst, become negative and defeated. Instead, people like my amazing wife find the gratitude and bound into the situation with optimism.
2) Another key part of success in life is choosing amazing partners. Both for family and in business. People who balance you by boosting you when you’re down or temper you when you’re irrationally exuberant. Someone who makes life lighter and easier in countless small and big ways.
So grateful
