Turning Down a Good Thing

How many of you have been offered your ideal job or contract just to realize the one you currently have is actually the one you love the best? Another movie lesson from "Morning Glory". Rachel McAdams turns down the a super opportunity in the TV world because she realized she is happiest where she currently is. There are times when we may already stepped into our greatness or feel true fulfillment without even realizing it until we have been faced with the decision to step away.

Think about where you feel you have the greatest impact in your life. Where are you the most happy and fulfilled? Are you searching for something you already have? True fulfillment is realizing you are happiest where you are right now. Sometimes turning down a job or contract that is good actually leads to or makes room for something great. You need to do what you feel passionate about. If something does not completely resonate with your personal values or priorities; don't do it! Better opportunities mean you will be more engaged, present, and produce better results. How well do you perform at something you are not keen on? You do not perform your best when you settle for second best.

What moments do you remember feeling completely fulfilled? Imagine feeling that way every time you make a choice to follow a great thing instead of good thing? The pay off is much greater and the opportunities are much bigger!
