We are under the attack of Ice. O_o No seriously! I have been securely in my house for four days due to ice shutting down the metroplex in which I reside. Kids aren’t outside playing, business are closed, grocery stores have sold out of everything, and the trash man didn’t run. (That was a pretty anticlimactic ending, huh? No, you don't understand! Trash pick-up is HUGE… for my nose! LOL)
Anywhoo! Today was supposed to be the make up trash day, and there was no way I was going to miss it on this good day! I hit the button to open my garage door, and after a slight hesitation, it rises only for me to see 2 full inches of ice on my driveway. OK, so now I have to create a strategy to get down the driveway.
And then it dawned on me! My awesome friend posted a message on Facebook yesterday that taught you how to “penguin walk” on ice. Now upon first seeing it, I laughed as I read. Little did I know that I would face a hill of ice this morning. What the hay! I tried it, AND IT WORKED! As I traveled down the slope of my driveway I thought to myself, “all I had to do was change my posture and approach in this new situation, and the mission was accomplished!”
How many times have you come to a new situation scared to death and no clue of how to approach it? We’ve all been there! Many times all we need to do is seek out wise counsel from someone that’s either been there, or look at our surroundings to find out how it’s been handled before. I NEVER would have thought to look at a penguin for suggestions on how to complete a daily chore, but I’ll be, they had the answer all along! Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to look a little silly as you set out on your mission. You were sent on that mission and towards that purpose with the tools around you or in you to complete it! You’ve got this. If you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up, come up with a new game plan, and do it again. At the end of the day, it’s all about the approach. Come up with a game plan and go for it! You won’t fail until to stop trying!
Stay warm everyone!
