Be A Possibility Model

In 2008, Lance DeViney said to me "Bhakti...well, despite how things might have been going, you often had a great smile and were a breath of fresh air." 

​It is amazing how quickly the compliments of others can fade away.  Life starts to happen and someone comes into life and chases away the memories that should sustain us forever.  It is true.  There are so many people whose memories have lasted with me and this was not one until I looked back at some early Facebook posts.  One good thing social media can do for us is create a time capsule of memories - good and bad of what others said to us and what we said to others.  

​It has been over 8 years since I have seen or talked to Lance DeViney, a experienced and respected engineer in my professional career field.  Looking back on his simple words made me smile.  During a period of my life when I was stationed overseas for the first time, newly married, extremely far from home, a new mother, learning a new job, achieving a masters degree amongst other new and strange things, I learned many hard lessons and I still managed to thrive.  I always believed in the possibility of today and tomorrow.

This same spirit has carried me through some tough times - some self imposed and others simply endured.  It is the idea that we keep trying no matter what.  Regardless of what is going on or what has happened or what is about to happen, find a way to always learn and be excellent.  Harness your meraki and find a way to survive and to live to thrive in another moment.  Never give up!
