Is it raining today?

What is your day like today? Is it raining? This proverb puts today's challenges into perspective.

The adversity we face each day, at work or in our personal life, creates opportunities to learn and grow. If you think back through your career, you will find your moments of greatest learning did not come in a classroom or seminar, or reading a book. They came from an initial failure that you overcame to achieve success. The successes that came from hard work are likely the most memorable and satisfying.

When that challenge presents itself today, accept it. Work it. Eliminate it. Grow.
