Bent But Not Broken

Bent But Not Broken

As much as we all live in a very imperfect world, many of us are still caught up with the fallacy that we can still live in a perfect world.  NOT shaken.  NOT threatened.  NOT frightened.  NOT scolded.  NOT lost.  NOT falling ill.  NOT running out of money and we can go on and on.  BUT hey, it is fine to be Bent But Not Broken💎💎💎

Oh, isn't this easier said than done?  Absolutely.  BUT in real life, there's enough elbow room for us to wiggle out.  HOW?  First off, DON'T allow your emotions to get in your way.  You should NOT wear your EMOTIONS on your sleeves.  We should NOT even yell or get overly animated when TIMES GET TOUGH.  Let's endeavor to have that EMOTIONAL SELF-CONTROL that even our body language would NOT give us away.  Otherwise, when we allow our emotions to get in the way, it could be interpreted as a sign that we are NOT being objective enough and too passionate about the situation at hand✅✅✅

You're bent?  That's fine.  You'll be fine but DON'T take things too personally.  Decisions and circumstances DON'T always play out logically because of human dynamics that factor into a situation.  It becomes imperative that we remain CALM and let us NOT be defensive or think that we always need to justify our thinking and actions.  Otherwise, even a slight bend will worsen⏳⏳⏳

If there is something where we need to invest, it is to develop that FORTITUDE, that positive mental attitude.  If you're a parent, children will always watch your actions, behavior and overall demeanor.  In your most difficult times, we need to maintain that positive mental attitude and manage a narrative that keeps our children inspired and hopeful.  A positive attitude can neutralize CHAOS and allow us to course correct through the negativity.  Keeping that positive mental attitude and never stopping to move forward would go a long way to ensure that you may be BENT BUT NOT BROKEN✅✅✅

To quote the famous and respective Indian nationalist Mahatma Gandhi, 'STRENGTH DOES NOT COME FROM PHYSICAL CAPACITY.  IT COMES FROM INDOMINATBLE WILL'.  Our realization should be on comparing the efforts between starting back from ground zero versus standing up and picking up the pieces.  For sales folks, it's a no-brainer to convince them that the costs to maintain an existing client is significantly much lower compared to the costs entailed to acquire a new client.  Even if we get bent a hundred times, as long as our backbone and resolve does not waiver, then we'll survive with our heads up high❗❗❗
