Called Out, or Called Upon?
A friend sent me this from Twitter.
I *had* to share it, of course, so up it went on my Facebook wall.
Some of my friends replied that they felt called out by it—as did I.
I thought about it, then replied, “I am trying to think of it less as being called out for doing badly, and more as being called upon to do better.”
And then it hit me—yes, exactly. Instead of feeling bad that I’m not doing enough, I can view it as an opportunity to do better—and I know I’m capable of doing so, even if sometimes that little voice at the back of my head tries to tell me otherwise.
And then I brushed my teeth and went to bed, and slept seven hours.
