• Happiness: Idea #324

    Is happiness an attitude that is hard for you? How about this for an idea: ‘Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.’ (N.Vujicic) As we make good choices, like happiness, we will find ourselves growing as an individual, better able to cope with life. ‘Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.’ (R.T.Bennett) You have it in your hands to succeed.

  • Trajectory: Idea #323

    Does it ever seem like even though you’re trying your best, you’re not getting to where you hope to be? Maybe you need to check a few things out. ‘Exerting more effort doesn’t help if you’re on the wrong trajectory. Working harder on the wrong thing just wastes more time. Learning more from a biased source will lead you further from the truth. Doubling down on a toxic relationship only sets you up for more headaches. Before you try harder, make sure you are walking a path that leads where you want to go.’ (J.Clear) Perhaps it would be a good idea to stop, review, evaluate, and make sure you’re focused on the right things in life. I know I need to do this frequently.

    Would you like to transform your workplace culture and improve your communications? Try these three steps: ‘1. Reflect: After a disappointing Rugby World Cup campaign in 2007, self-reflection and good leadership turned the New Zealand All Blacks around…2. Take Action: Realize that you can only improve and grow from practicing and receiving radical candor…3. Be Inspired: It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.’ (GF) Join me in Reflecting, Taking Action, and Being Inspired – then let me know what has changed for you.
