Your Success Thought for the Week of January 28, 2009
|
My friend and proud father
of two, Roger Lee, reminded me of a fairy tale he was recently reading to his
children which reminded him of
discussions of our current economic situation.
The tale-Chicken Little.*
For those of you without the
benefit of small children, allow me to remind you of the general theme.
Something falls on Chicken
Little's head while playing in the garden one day and her interpretation is
that "the sky is falling." Yikes, she
must notify the king.
Along her way to the king, she
shares this terrifying information with every farm animal she encounters. Her warning to the awestruck and gullible farm
animals:
"The sky is falling! I saw it with my eyes,
I heard it with my ears,
and a bit of it fell on my head!"
The result--each followed
her out of pure fear. Now, they too must
tell the king.
Soon, they run into Foxy
Loxy. Little do they know the trap they are about to enter.
"Do you know the way to the
king's house?" asked Foxy Loxy.
"No," said
Chicken Little, "No," said Henny Penny, "No," said Ducky
Daddles. "No," said Goosey Loosey. "No," said Turkey
Lurkey.
"Then come with me and
I will show you," said Foxy
Loxy. And just as he was about to lead them
into his den to eat them - the sky fell
on him.
Why am I sharing this with
you as a 'success thought' this week?
It's a great reminder to pay attention to who you trust, where your
focus is, where you are headed and what pitfalls may await you.
Additionally, Roger's
point: We've collectively forgotten
about the grim end to those who loose perspective, panic and encourage others
to do the same.
This week take a different
view. First, ask yourself if the sky is
actually falling for you. (I know of plenty of people for whom it is not.) And if your sky is not falling, perhaps it's
time to surround yourself with other likeminded people who are focused on
boldly moving forward, not staying in a place fear.
Even if the sky appears to
be falling all around you, what pieces can you pick up to begin to build
something even better than what you had before?

Enjoy your discoveries and
have a grand week.
