A client of mine is doing miraculous work in his relationships with his family.
Every little thing that happens - he’s learning to see ALL of it as a gift.
The kids are fighting? That’s a gift.
The kids won’t listen? That’s a gift.
He’s feeling frustrated and disrespected? That’s a gift.
However you think that looks or sounds, here’s the truth of it: my client is becoming an extraordinary father, and it's miraculous to witness.
You see…
It’s ordinary to get frustrated.
It’s ordinary to feel disrespected.
It’s ordinary to manipulate others to get what we want.
It’s ordinary to react from our emotions and leave casualties in our wake.
How else the ordinary shows up in our lives:
Gossiping
Complaining
Judging
Stressing
Working for the weekend
Avoiding discomfort
Not getting back to people
Indulging our urges
Distracting ourselves from important work
Looking for backdoor exits from our commitments
Here’s what people who work with me have in common: they’re tired of the ordinary.
When we’re ordinary, we sell out on ourselves and others. We sell out on what we’ve committed to. We sell out on our values. We sell out on what’s possible. We settle for the known discomfort of what’s probable.
Something else is possible, and it begins with our willingness to move beyond our habits of being ordinary.
Thanks so much for reading. 🙏❤️
