Isn’t it extraordinary how we, planners and visionaries put so much thought into everything we do.. creating expectations for ourself and others that leave of us DEVASTATED if they’re not met? I find the “what’s the worst that can happen?” exercise to be both stressful (as a creative who can actually dream up INSANE worst case scenarios), and also calming.. after I sit with those scenarios and realize that they won’t likely happen and if they did, it would be ok. My guess is your resilience doesn’t come from just anywhere.. it comes from a place of experience; experience trying, failing, feeling defeated… and then getting back up and climbing your way back to courage, success, and pride. What a memory you made this past weekend- and what a gift it is that these worst case scenarios might actually prove to be the best lesson your readers will learn this week. I’d say that is a win!
Loved this week, Meghan. Also, I am now dying to know what Rihanna smells like!
