One of the things I’ve learned is that no matter how much I’m hurting, someone is hurting worse. The challenges I face sometimes seem insurmountable, but others have a bigger hill to climb. When I cut the tips of my fingers off, the surgeon assured me that it could have been so much worse; at that moment I couldn’t imagine that anything could be worse than what happened to me. But since then, the people I met at physical therapy and in online groups have shown me what so much worse looks like. No matter where you are on a spectrum of good to bad, it’s less about how you compare and more about how you approach it. Because no matter what, things get better. Same with the work you do – it’s not about the ups and downs but rather how you approach them. Whatever challenges you face can be overcome if you look closely and think clearly. You never want to throw your hands up and walk away – it’ll be there when you get back so you might as well put on your thinking cap and take care of it. Look for a way, not a way out today.
