176: PYP Bonus Audible Extra Innings

At times in our lives, circumstances will ask us to go beyond what we expected would happen. Game 3 of the 2018 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers demonstrated this phenomenon quite literally, extending 18 innings and lasting close to seven hours. Every player, coach, manager, and fan was exhausted when the game finally ended on a solo home run.


This game got me thinking about the "extra innings" of our lives.

 

Specifically:

 

What happens at work when a project takes on a new direction and the deadline is extended (and our workload with it)? How about when a loved one gets sick or when our car doesn't start and we have a very important meeting on the other side of town? What about when we don't hit a goal we set for ourselves?

 

How are we showing up in times like these? 

 

In this week's bonus audible, I shed some light on what successful people can do in times when we are called to rise above and beyond what's expected of us and we have no choice but to play in extra innings.
