“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I’m inspired, I get excited because I can’t wait to see what I’ll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” – Dolly Parton
This month, we’ve focused on reviewing, reflecting, reevaluating, and getting ready for the second half of the year. Maybe you’ve had a great start to the year, achieved all of your goals, and are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to get started into the second half. The reality of life, however, says that for most people, it’s the opposite.
Dolly Parton may not be a productivity, accountability, or overall life coach, but her words should resonate with people of all ages, careers, and goal aspirations:
“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
Get Excited
It’s time to get excited about what you’ve accomplished and what you haven’t accomplished. Get excited about the things that make you who you are. Why?
- Because failure builds knowledge, strength, determination, and diligence. If we always got what we wanted on the first try, what would we learn?
- Because there is time. For some reason, humans have this irrational fear of running out of time. While you shouldn’t waste 72 hours watching Netflix and binging on ice cream, allow yourself to take a breather!
- Because life is unpredictable. With the ebb and flow of this thing called life, things won’t always go your way, but they will go your way. Keep trucking, be patient, and trust that there is a rainbow.
- Because you’re already in the right mindset. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you care about your progress and you have a desire for growth.
- Because you’re not alone. There’s always an expert, a friend, a mentor, or someone who has been in your shoes. Don’t be afraid to reach out.
Think of this next half of 2016 as a breath of new life, a rebirth. Get excited about the new season, get excited for new goals, but most importantly, get excited about you and your potential.
