Canmore AB  – “It’s the longest day of the year and the furnace is on!”

Well, that was short-lived.

Summer that is. Mid-week, we were fooled that it had arrived. Temperatures reached the low 70’s. With over 17 and a half hours of daylight, folks were out enjoying themselves in the sun at eight, nine in the evening. Families strolled along the river paths. Young adults conducted yoga in the park.

The rest of the week? Mostly cold rain and a high of 55.

It’s often a running joke here in the Canadian Rockies. Both the variety of weather, day to day and hour to hour.

March 21^st is always fun. First day of Spring, they say. This simply means we get 12 hours+ of daylight to ski.

The summer Solstice is another fun day.

Longest day of year. First day of summer. Shorts and sandals, sunscreen and shades.

Except that good old furnace still kicks on in the morning to bring the house up to a livable temperature.

With weather like this, the old quote about a glass half-full, or is it half-empty comes to mind.

You remember. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The optimist sees a glass half-full. The realist sees a glass.

Then the opportunist comes in and drinks it.

In coaching terms, we ask; “Are you above, or below the line?” Are you acting like a Victor or a Victim?

Are you an Opportunity Seeker or a Failure Magnet?

Do you PROVE yourself worthy of success or are you one who BENDS to the pressure of defeat?

Here’s an illustration of what this looks like:

For Victims everything is a challenge, and no problem is ever resolved.

The key to being a Victor, in my mind, is to take personal responsibly for your situation and then be proactive in moving yourself to where you want to be.

Now, even the best of us can act and be below the line, some of the time. The key is to identify this behaviour and take action to move yourself back above it.

Until next week,

Stay healthy and focus on profit!
