There is no single version of the truth, one valid opinion, one right view, one correct answer, one right approach, or even one absolute faith. There is always another angle, and that is what makes life interesting. A delicacy to one is disgusting to another; a person of faith to one is an infidel to another. A beautiful painting to one is an enigma to another. The yin and the yang make up the whole.

As a mentor, my job is not to “give you the right answer.” It is to help you think through all the possibilities so that you might come to the best answer for you and your circumstances. It is to help you develop a growth mindset. Everything that occurs can be reframed. A loss can be a gain. A challenge can be an opportunity. We must learn to frame things in a way which will allow us to move forward.

Today, no every day, I encourage you to recognize that life has many truths, allows for many opinions, encourages alternative views, and has room for diverse approaches. It is our ability to look at our situation, recognize its place within the whole, and be open to alternative answers that will allow us to move ever closer to success. Just sayin’!

Make Today a Magnificent Day!
