What would you do when you dropped into “a shit hole” by mistake?
My friend was working very hard for her new position as a director.
A few months into her position, she dropped herself into “a shit hole” not seeing her surroundings well enough… just like a horse wearing blinders she followed her first year introduction program manager closely, not knowing well what was going on with her teams. When she made minor mistakes, did not step on the right path, she felt into this “deep shit hole” badly.
She is a strong lady. She was composed, not panic, not blaming the manager, tried very hard to figure out what was going on. She asked for help. She gracefully faced her vulnerability… She survived, re-birthed, became stronger ever. She has been being her self consistently.
What a brave lady! Bravo!
This is what she told me: “When facing negative situations, instead of making a negative statement, make a question out of the situation.”
For example, when you are frustrated by something, ask: how can I do about xxx…? What is going on with xxx…? What else can I do about xxx…? How can I make this better…?
When we turn our brain into questions, our thinking is shifting into an activated status – we are actively looking for solutions.
We can turn “a shit hole” experience into a valuable lesson.
Life is here for us to experience, live gracefully and happily after all.
