A group of research scientists studying images from Google Earth and looking at broad herds of cows across the earth have concluded that predominantly cows align themselves in a field in a north-south direction. Cows are social animals and sit down before a rain and huddle in a circle during a blizzard. But on sunny days when they are carefree they align facing either north or south.
WHY ARE THESE MAGNETIC COWS IMPORTANT TO YOUR LIFE?
Because it is a life lesson that sometimes we really don't know in our business or personal lives the why or how of something. The old expression that covers this is "it is what it is."
Folks, there's something called "reality" which too many in business or personal relationships just like to run away from constantly.
Think of real estate. The same size home that sold for $50,000 more last year doesn't fetch that price anymore. A home may just have a poor location or no one likes the floorplan. It may be a cycle of the market where EVERYTHING is down. The neighborhood just "in reality"may be deteriorating. It may be a strong seller or buyers market. Another reality.
How's this for reality in our personal life? Some people will lie to you. People are who they are and you can't change them. Some business partners or acquaintances just are not competent or reliable. Some processes set in place by someone else are broken and you can't fix them.
So remember the cows who just do their own thing for who knows why or who cares. It is just reality. The sooner you stop torturing yourself trying to change the way things are that are not going to change, the better.
Living in reality allows you to grow and change the one thing that you can make the best improvement on. And that is WONDERFUL YOU!!!
