Are you settling for just what comes along!

Good question for all of us to ask ourselves. It is real easy, especially with all that we have at our finger tips, to just accept what is coming without really trying to reach out or up to challenge our potential. I just attended a wild game dinner where the well known guest speaker had lost a tooth out of his partial plate and was feeling really bad and intimidated to go up front and speak to his next crowd. He had a choice, just leave the gaping hole alone and save up for a new set (which on his small salary in those days would have taken a while) or find a tooth on his own and not just "settle"!

He had shot a bear just days before this unfortunate tooth break and a genius idea routed through his brain. He went out and picked up the skull of the newly dressed out carcass and there it was! The most awesome looking white tooth ever, he knocked one out and did some smoothing and shaping and glued it right into his broken set. A long story shorter, he never told anyone for a long time of his creative maneuver and had saved "dental face" by taking action.

I want to face my adversity with that kind of focus and not just settle and let "stuff" happen. Hopefully, we won't have to use bear teeth to fix our situation. I would challenge you to go ahead and think creatively and not be victimized and swept away by what is coming into your day. You can make it!
