Cool For me, this week had a lot 17 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: of rejection on the work front. I felt as though, 18 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: and I mean that happens right because for me, I'm 19 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: constantly making what feels like really large asks to get 20 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: people to give me their time, and time is something 21 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: you can't get back, so you can have all of 22 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: the best intentions and be a really good person, but 23 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: just literally not have the bandwidth to offer someone your time. 24 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: And so, long story short, I had been chasing a 25 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: guest for what feels like years now, and I finally 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: thought I had an in and that in didn't shake out, 27 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: and I was really bummed about this. 28 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: I think this was back maybe on Monday or Tuesday 29 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: of this week. 30 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: And I will also say that this happens all the time, 31 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes these like hard to get guests, they do 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: come back around. So that's why it's always really really 33 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: important to treat people with kindness because you never know 34 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: when they could come back into the mix. But okay, anyway, 35 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: I was really bummed about this, but I made the 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: conscious decision, literally like within minutes of getting the this 37 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: just isn't going to happen email, that I would do 38 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: something to find the bright side of the day. And 39 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: so I got up from my desk. This was like 40 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: tail end of the day, I want to say, like 41 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: five forty five. I took a walk around the neighborhood. 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: I came back in, I made dinner, and I reset, 43 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: and I came to realize as the week went on 44 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: from that moment that I had adopted this mentality that 45 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't going to let the things that weren't going 46 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: as I I had hoped define how my week would go, 47 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: and I started to take more notice of the things 48 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: that were going right right I chose that positive perspective. 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: I'll give you some examples here. I found a men's 50 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: gratitude to even just show up to track practice on 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday when I hadn't been in like six weeks. Every 52 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: single night this week, I purposefully looked out my window 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: at the sunset. It's been absolutely gorgeous lately here in 54 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: New York, and I would stand there and just stare 55 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: at it in amazement of the fact that, like I 56 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do that. 57 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: I woke up earlier than I had intended to the. 58 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Other day, and instead of being like, oh, I'm so 59 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: frustrated that I'm not sleeping, I was like, Wow, look 60 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: at me having this chance to get done the things 61 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: that I have been putting off around the apartment before 62 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: it's light enough outside to actually leave and do some 63 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: form of exercise. 64 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: Now see how I'm shaping all this? 65 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: See Yah, there's so much opportunity within perspective here. It's 66 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in the stuff that isn't 67 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: going as we'd hoped. But my message this week for 68 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday is to take hold of what you 69 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: can control and let go of the things that you can't. 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: There is so much that's going on in your life 71 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: right now that you probably don't even realize is something 72 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: that maybe you have wanted forever. And as easy as 73 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: it is again to use that word easy to get 74 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: caught up in all the things that aren't happening and 75 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: all the things that aren't going to plan, so to speak, 76 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: the best thing that you can do is just take 77 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: a second to find the gratitude for the things that 78 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: are shift that perspective and move forward from there. So 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: my prompt for you this week, what is one great 80 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: positive thing that you can reflect on from the past 81 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: twenty four hours? Again, what is one in a great 82 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: positive thing that you can reflect on from the past 83 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: twenty four hours?
