I spilled my chai

I was on a conference call recently when I accidentally knocked over my cup of chai. My son Noah entered the room and saw the dark liquid all over my light grey carpet and this is how our conversation went:

Noah: “What Happened!”

Me: “I just spilled my Chai. Would you please get me some paper towels?”

Noah: “Are you sad?”

Me: “No Noah, it was just an accident. Now will you please get me some paper towels?”

Noah: “OK!” And he ran out the door.

Kids have a great way of dissecting problems to the core… what happened and how did it made me feel? It’s the basis of what is truly important and what drives our actions in life!

Discover the underlying cause of your concerns. How does living with this problem make you feel? Now let’s decide on a plan to make it right!
