The great questions are those an intelligent child asks and, getting no answers, stops asking.

Go to work

Some occurrences you pretty much expect, or even intentionally work to make happen. Others take you completely by surprise.

Yet whether today’s turn of events was intentional or not, there’s something good and useful you can do in response. Rather than smugly celebrating what’s happened or retreating in fear from it, go to work.

What’s happened has happened, reality is what it is. And the situation has changed from what it was just a little while ago.

Possibilities have popped freshly into existence. What you wisely assumed yesterday to be true, may not be the case at all today.

Open your eyes, open your mind, observe, consider. Look at what has changed, what has not, and why.

See the very real potential for value that’s just been exposed to the light of day. Envision specific, beneficial, meaningful progress you can create with it, and go to work.
