New Challenges
Take up the challenge.
The email read: what can you do in 7 days?
An encouraging, motivating and hopeful message ensued, yet one thing was clear. The email’s author was asserting that 7 days was ample time to ‘do that thing’. These words were intended as a challenge.
I could have ignored it.
I could have said ‘no’ to the challenge.
Or, I could see it as an invitation to do that thing taking up space on the project list.
Perhaps, the biggest achievement so far within 7 days is to stay open and curious about new things, to be willing to try and possibly fail, and to reframe this as an ‘I get to’ rather than a ‘you should’.
And, who knows, in 7 days time I might have a check mark against that project.
I’m curious, where might a challenge be waiting for you this weekend?
