Oprah missed her chance!
Our youngest child loves to talk and quite fancies herself as the next Oprah Winfrey. So she was delighted when we were at a wax museum recently and she could chat to her idol. And, had this opportunity arisen in reality, I suspect Oprah would have enjoyed chatting to our daughter too!
But life is full of missed opportunities and part of what defines us is how we deal with them. I look at successful people and see them double their resolve to create even better opportunities when one is missed. They don't give up; they don't even take time to lick their wounds. They focus on their goal and work diligently toward it.
And although the strategy may not always work as you hope, it surely will take you a lot further than playing the overly-popular Blame Game!
As far as meeting Oprah is concerned, I have no doubt but that our daughter will make it happen one day; she's focused on that goal!
Focus on your goal and work diligently toward it.
That is adorable!
