Life is one dramatic event after another.
It makes me crazy.
I hate it.
As I’m talking to my favorite brother on the phone, I recite the sentences above…
Him: We NEED drama.
Me: Why?
Him: For change and growth.
My brother is much older and wiser than I am, and I respect his opinion on just about everything. So I go through the list of dramatic crap that’s happened already this morning and ask for clarification on how exactly those things are going to make me change and/or grow. He had an answer for every single thing I threw out there. Really. And he was right.
I’m going to try to figure this out on my own, and hope you try it too. The next time you face some crazy drama that upsets you, turn it around and try to figure out how it encourages you to CHANGE your actions or thoughts, and/or how it can make you GROW either individually or professionally.
