Happy Wednesday! Happy hump day! No matter how you declare it, Wednesday is the halfway mark to the weekend and that alone is a reason to celebrate!
The CK Daily – Everything is Figure-Out-Able
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
I was shopping at Hobby Lobby the other day and came across a tiny wooden sign that had “Everything is Figure-Out-Able” painted on it. It’s not something I was necessarily looking for and it was definitely overpriced at $4.99, but I had to have it. That phrase is one that I have lived by most of my life (but I had never seen it on my décor!) It’s definitely a phrase that pops into my mind any time I get “stuck” in life, whether personal or professional! I think it’s a great perspective to remember that most problems DO have a solution, we just have to stop and figure out what it is! Do you have any fun phrases that you love?
I’d love to know!
