Coaching MBA

As a boy, I got to visit my Aunt for the summers.

We didn't get much time together (between 1-2 weeks) so she tried to always make the visit memorable and fun. I remember many of them with great fondness. I think I got my love of travel from her ✈️

We'd go to ride 🎢roller coasters, we did a 10-day 🚗road trip from Atlanta to 🐻Yellowstone Park (where I saw my first brown bear), we even went to Disney World🐭!

Whenever she'd ask me to do something spontaneous, like going to the 🏞️park, or out for an🍦 ice cream, I'd often have the same response:

"𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗔𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝘀𝗲.......𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡! ⛈️⛈️⛈️"

As I've gotten older and recognize the importance of the meaning we attach to things, I have been able to shift much of my thinking to more positive alternatives.

Where I used to think "it might rain⛈️" (and that's a bad thing), now I think "wow, what if we get to see a rainbow🌈" (an incredibly awesome thing).

How have you shifted your thinking in your life from your "habitual reaction" type thinking to more positive "intentional" thinking?
