Good morning Friends,
I got some really fantastic advice today that I absolutely needed to hear and I want to share it with you, because perhaps you are going through some challenges, too.
Maybe you feel like there is a storm on the horizon or a storm fast approaching you and you're not sure what to do. 😔
I had a really, REALLY enlightening conversation with a friend and colleague this morning, and we were discussing some of the personal obstacles and challenges that I'm facing right now and how to get through them.
They gave me the illustration of the difference between a cow and a buffalo when it sees a storm approaching. And maybe you've heard this story before, I had forgotten about it, but it was such a great reminder.
When there's a storm approaching and a cow sees it, a cow will turn and run the other way, and they'll try to outrun the storm.
Now you and I both know that that is absolutely foolish. A cow cannot do that. The storm is going to overtake them, and then they're going to be in the storm and now exhausted from trying to outrun it.
Whereas a buffalo, will plant its feet and will take that storm head on and know that it needs to ride it out, because that is the fastest way to get through that challenge.
So… to all my buffalos out there.
1) I am so sorry that you're going through your challenge right now, that you see a storm on the horizon, or perhaps you're already in it. We've got so many different things that we are facing right now.
The world is not an easy place to be in, and it seems like there's one challenge after another, but to those of you who need to hear this, don't outrun it.
If we try to outrun it, we're just going to be tired on top of having to face that challenge instead, be like the buffalo, plant your feet, put your head down, power through it.
2) Know that I'm here for you, if I can be of any assistance to you, and let's get through this storm and this challenge together.
Love you all 💖 and hope you have a fantastic day.
