Viewpoint: Idea #95
‘People all have a good side and a bad side—a side with ideals and dreams, and a human side. When you look at people, what you look for is what you’ll see, and what you see is how you’ll treat people. If you see the best in others, you’ll bring out the best in others, and you’ll receive the best from others.’ (J.Maxwell) Can we all resolve this year, in 2023, to always look to the good in others, and expect the best from those we interact with – as doing so will make your life (and those around you) much smoother and enjoyable. Who can you look at differently today?

Action: Idea #94
Have you ever caught yourself saying: “I’m not sure what to decide, I need a little more information.” Sometimes the bigger question is: ‘Do I need to spend more time searching for better information or do I need to spend more time acting on the information I already have? Is the bottleneck strategy or execution?’ (J.Clear) The issue is that when an obvious decision or action is uncomfortable or somewhat unknown, we want to avoid it, so we keep “looking for more information”, hoping to find something that will allow us to not do what we know needs to be done. This reaction keeps us from experiencing the growth we need. What action will you stop postponing and do today?
