I was cleaning through a number of old papers and I came across the poem/verse below. I don’t know who the author is, as this was forwarded to me a long time ago. I wish I knew so I could thank him or her.

I find posting this above my desk and reading it once in a while is a nice reminder as we go through the ups and downs of Entrepreneurship.

Focus on the Lesson

I have a friend who every time I had a problem, dilemma or minor crisis would say, “Focus on the lesson. Ask yourself, what am I being shown here.”

Every person in this life has something to teach me and as soon as I accept that I open myself to truly listening.

For everyone that makes you cry, there are three to make you smile, and a smile will last a long, long time. but a tear for just a little while.

Don’t let someone who hates the world cause you to hate it too. Behind the clouds is a Golden sun and a sky that’s full of Blue.

If someone said a thing that’s cruel, don’t let it get to you.Your achievements are greatly numbered and your faults are very few.

So if a certain person should act a certain way, think of those who love you and don’t let it spoil your day! Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Gosh, I love that. Not every day is easy, and some days people and things get to us. Yes, we do wake up on the wrong side of the bed and life happens. Instead of being grumpy about it, I invite you to Focus on The Lesson.

To success!
