The Chipmunk

The view from my office window

The view from my office is my back yard, most of which I've left in it's natural state and which also abuts a greenbelt. There is a wonderful variety of wildlife that passes by my office window every day - deer, raccoons, chipmunks, and all kinds of birds. Both the birds and the chipmunks are drawn to the seed in the birdfeeder I've placed right outside my office window.

The birdfeeder has a "squirrel proof" shield on it and is hung quite high on a metal pole. However, this contraption apparently isn't chipmunk proof. I have been entertained by a very determined chipmunk who spent days discovering how to leap just so from the pole to the birdfeeder. He'd carefully eyeball the situation, gauging how much oomph to put in his leap and where to aim for the best landing. He fell many times, and would immediately scamper back up the pole where he would try again, using the information about his most recent attempt to improve his aerial acrobatics.

He soon became so adept at it that he was no longer missing. He would scamper up the pole to the exact spot he knew was the best launching place, leap with the exact amount of push-off, and land exactly where he knew he could easily grab toe-holds.

This chipmunk is one very smart, and now very fat, little guy.

While I was watching this process, I was reminded of one of the most important parts of accomplishing goals:

Failure isn't failure. It's learning.

Each time you experience a set-back in achieving one of your goals, you are gaining knowledge that will assist you not only as you are working toward your goal, it will also make your end result more grand.

I invite you to look at your "failures" and set-backs from a new perspective. Ask, "what have I learned in this that can help me in achieving my goal?"

I guarantee you'll find valuable information lurking in that "failure".

Love,
Kathy

ZAP the Tolerations Program

You're tolerating a lot in your life. Big things. Little things. Things that were little and somehow have become big.

And everything that you're tolerating is stealing your energy and your focus from the things in your life that are productive, positive, and forward-moving.

Often what you're tolerating started out as a very small nuisance and althrough it's gradually grown in annoyance value, you've become accustomed to it. Rather like the example of the boiled frog. Unless the heat's turned up quickly, you don't notice to what extent the tolerance is draining you.

Choose to become a Toleration Free Zone and ZAP your tolerations!
