Overcoming defeated attitudes
Rise and Thrive. The week has begun. I want to talk about overcoming a defeatist attitude or mindset. I pride myself on planning out every aspect of my life (I know, Type A, and I am). I also realistically understand that I am not always going to be in control of every situation or circumstance. But I also try to plan for all the potential eventualities (again, I know, sooo Type A). I promise, I am not a “control freak”, but life has dealt some pretty nasty hands to me along the way, and I do my best to fight (plan) my way out. But what do we do when all the planning is for naught? What happens when no matter how much you have researched and prepared, the circumstance you desire to achieve becomes what appears to be unobtainable? Do we succumb to defeat, or do we go back to the drawing board?
