Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - January 4, 2022

 Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be. - Demi Lovato

 I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities. - Jil Sander

 

Howdy from Texas!  The major news for the author is that she relocated home to Texas the weekend before Thanksgiving.  The decision was not easy and was something she talked with many trusted advisors about.  On her sister’s birthday, the author told her sister that if she received approval for a change of duty station at her job that she would move back to Texas.  Approval came within 2 weeks and the author immediately started looking for a place to live the next time she was in Texas.  The author made the decision to move because her sister is all the immediate family that she has left.  After moving back, the author’s sister made the comment that this was the closest they had lived to each other since she left for college, which is true.  The author believes that being goal-oriented and having dreams is very important for one’s life, but she knows she only has one sister and how important she is to the author.

When the author first made the decision, she did not see how her dreams would come true and was concerned.  The author had tunnel vision and when she examined the situation from a different vantage point, she saw the decision was probably the right one at the right time.  

One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations.  Doing so allows a person to see the world as one rife with possibility and to take advantage of some of those possibilities if they seem worth pursuing. - Ken Robinson

 Losing both of the author’s parents within 9 months between 2020 and 2021 was not easy and the author misses them greatly.  However, she knows that they would want her to continue to pursue her dreams and to keep pushing forward, which is what she decided to do.

 

ACTION: What decisions have you had tunnel vision about?  If you looked at them from a different perspective, could you have a different 2022?
