Taken for granted.

Taken for granted.

Another joy-killer. 🙄

I asked my coachee what successes they had achieved that day.

It took a while before anything came to mind at all…

But then they described an extremely complicated case squeezed in between scheduled appointments, which they managed to help in no time.

“But yeah, you know, it’s part of the job!”

I interrupted them IMMEDIATELY.

How toxic is that thought?!

Just because you can do something or because something worked out easily doesn’t mean it can’t be considered a success!

After this confrontation, their facial expression changed.

You guessed it: a subtle, ever-growing smile appeared on their face. ☺️

What do you think—will this person in the future:

✅ Feel a little prouder of their actions and other successes?

✅ Go through life with a touch more self-confidence?

✅ Have a bit more courage?

I definitely think so.

Don’t take anything for granted.

And certainly not yourself.
