Test Run

Do you ever end your day by analyzing what you did that day? Do you focus on the things that didn’t go the way you had planned? How easy it is to judge ourselves and keep our focus on the negatives, even when we had so many successes throughout our day.

What I notice is that the more I’m stepping outside my comfort zone and the more I’m accepting new opportunities and challenges, it’s pretty certain that I’m going to make mistakes. If I’m only doing the things that I‘m comfortable with–the ones with the guaranteed outcomes–am I really going to achieve what I am fully capable of?

The truth is, each day is just a test run, a practice for tomorrow. Each day, I have everything I need to be my best and do my best. If I can put my judgments aside, today will actually provide me with all the opportunities to approach tomorrow even more prepared! Be willing to embrace the good as well as the bad. Learn from both.

I wonder what opportunities will show up today?
