Last week, I wasn’t feeling well, so I had to go shopping for supplies.
While I was walking around the store, I noticed something interesting about the Gatorade bottles. Some were in the cold fridge at the front, and others were on regular shelves. It got me thinking about how we all have different dreams and goals, just like different flavors of Gatorade.
Warm Gatorade vs. Cold Gatorade
Imagine Gatorade bottles as people. The warm Gatorade is like someone full of potential but not noticed yet. The cold Gatorade is like those who have reached their goals and stand out proudly, just like the bottles in the front of the store that everyone sees.
Setting Goals
To go from feeling like warm Gatorade to cold Gatorade, I need to plan and set goals. It’s like making a map to reach where I want to go. This way, I can focus on what I want to achieve and take small steps to get there.
Avoiding Comparisons
I’ve learned not to compare myself to others. Everyone’s journey is different. Instead, I focus on my own path, celebrate my wins, and learn from my mistakes.
Steps to Change:
- Think about what I want to achieve and why it’s important.
- Make a plan with small steps to reach my goals.
- Work hard and don’t give up, even when things get tough.
- Make friends who support me and help me along the way.
- Be aware of my feelings and stay positive, even when things don’t go as planned.
Food for Thought
In the store, all the Gatorade bottles have the same price tag, no matter where they are placed. This reminds me that we all have the same value as people, no matter what we achieve. The difference between warm and cold Gatorade isn’t about how much we’re worth. It’s about the effort we put into reaching our goals and how we choose to make a difference in the world.
