VĚSTNÍK
From the Desk of Delisle L. Doherty SPJST Vice President of Sales and Marketing
It’s Your Life
Consider the Possibilities Focus on possibilities, not roadblocks: The road of life contains a number of potholes and stumbling blocks. Of course, you will encounter them from time to time, and so will your friends and family. But don’t invest large quantities of your life focusing on past misfortunes. On the road of life, regret is a dead end. It is always a road to nowhere. All of us face difficult days. Sometimes even the most optimistic people become discouraged, and you are no exception. If you find yourself enduring difficult circumstances, perhaps it’s time for an extreme intellectual makeover perhaps it’s time to focus more on your strengths and opportunities, and less on the challenges that confront you. And one more thing: perhaps it’s time to put a little more faith in yourself. Every day, including this one, is brimming with possibilities. Every day is filled with opportunities to grow, to serve, and to share. But if you are entangled in a web of negativity, you may overlook the opportunities that have been
scattered along your path. Don’t give into pessimism, to doubt, or cynicism. Instead, keep your eyes upon the possibilities, fix yourself on opportunities, do your best, and success will follow. Once you learn to see opportunities and ignore failure, the road to success will be laid out for you. Starting today, wake up and say to yourself: “When I get this done” instead of “I hope I can get this done” or “If I get it done.” Start with “when the opportunity comes along, I will be there.” Put faith in yourself, and you will start living in a “when” world instead of an “if” world. When I finish this job. When I see my family. When I reach my goals for the day. Look forward, not backwards, and you will start to be in a world of “when it happens” instead of “if it happens.” Success will follow “when,” and failure will follow “if.” Choose your path. My door is always open; figuratively and literally. Stay blessed, Delisle L. Doherty Vice President of Sales and Marketing —SPJST—
