Walking on Water

Sometimes you just can’t win:  FULL STOP.  No matter what you say or what you do, you just can’t win!

Frustrating – OH YEAH – but so it goes…

Think about all the times you thought you did well; you thought you did right; you thought you won and you didn’t, or at least so it seemed…

Think about all of your interactions with family and friends – how many times have you walked away angry and disgusted saying “I just can’t win…”.

Think about your clients.  How many times have been in the same situation and with a few minor modifications – not to be printed here – how many times did that phrase leave your lips?

We all know it well.  In fact, a real life client occurrence last week combined with my seeing the following – inspired this writing:

If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read “President Can’t Swim.”
Lyndon B. Johnson

And so it goes!

Sometimes? You just can’t win!

  1. True, but don't worry, it doesn't matter! Really!

  2. My view is sometimes it's more about the experience rather than the result - and in the end you will be the winner!!! It makes you question things more, and through this experience you grow (and the others don't!!) ... David, you can sit back with a smug smile on your face and be safe in the knowledge that what goes around comes around. I think we've all had those un-fair frustrating moments where even if you parted the seas it still wouldn't be good enuff. The only way out is through, suck-up the frustration and breath out the love...or then again you could just do an act of defiance ; )
