THE LOOP
Change Your Mindset
My sister recently sent me a quote by author Mike Robbins that has been challenging the way I think about things recently - "Why is this happening for me?"
Too often, when something bad happens or when things don't go as planned, the first reaction is "why is this happening to me?!". Changing one word gives an entirely new complexion to the sentence.
Whether you believe everything happens for a reason or not, there's always a positive that can be taken from an unfavorable situation. The "why" might not be immediately be revealed, but changing from a victim mindset ("Why is this happening to me?") will make a world of difference.
Have an awesome Wednesday, everyone! Holiday weekend is right around the corner.
Oh Chicago...
I was hoping to be back in the office this morning but unfortunately I am writing this loop from a random hotel in the middle of nowhere Chicago... Since I've never been to Chicago before... I felt a common obligation to learn a little bit about the city. So with ENTHUSIASM: I present to you... 5 fun facts about Chicago.
- Chicago's downtown area is known as "The Loop." The nickname refers to the area encircled by the elevated (‘L') train tracks.
- Walt Disney was born in Chicago in 1901. He studied drawing at Chicago's McKinley High School and the Institute of Fine Arts.
- The Twinkie was invented during the Depression by Chicagoan Jimmy Dewar, at the time, manager of Chicago's Continental Baking Company. The dessert was dubbed "Twinkie" after Dewar spotted an ad for Twinkle Toe Shoes.
- The first all-color TV station debuted in Chicago (Channel 5).
