Lessons Learned from Donkey Kong

I wasn't a big Donkey Kong fan, but I do remember how sometimes Mario had to climb down a layer or two in order to climb up to where he was supposed to be. Life can be like that sometimes.

I think I'll take a cue from Mario. . . .kick down a notch or two and take advantage of what this new opportunity has to offer me. . . .so that I can climb back up to where I really want to be when I'm better prepared to do so. Loss of status isn't the worst thing that will ever happen to me. And who knows. . . .it just might turn out to be the best thing ever! You never really know why obstacles are put into your path (until you get to the other side, of course).

So, I'm going to focus on the good things about this change, and let the rest be what it was. . . . a life lesson worthy of my best effort. . . even if it still kicked my donkey kong ass. . . .
