What’s the balance between success and failure? Success is great, and it builds confidence in our abilities. However, ‘1 or 2 times out of 10, you should be failing. Push yourself and reach beyond your current grasp. Force yourself to try uncomfortable things. Occasionally you will surprise yourself and the rest of the time you will learn.’ (J.Clear) No one likes failures, however without failures we never find out what our true capabilities are, what we “could” do. Failures are not bad as long as we keep learning. What risk of failure will you try next? I know I need to think about this!

Choice: Idea #43
‘”Whatever choice you make today, determines where you are going to be tomorrow” – Coach Wooden. We are faced with so many choices daily, and every choice you make in turn makes YOU.’ (J.Maxwell) Sometimes we find ourselves making choices without really thinking about it – what to have for lunch, which TV program to watch, etc. However there are some choices that may be more impactful that we should think about. Even things like should I watch TV or should I learn about how to be a better leader? Most importantly, whenever we need to make a choice that can impact our future we need to stop, think, consider, and make sure our choice is taking us in the right direction.

Gratitude: Idea #42
What role does gratitude play in your development? Let’s start by thinking of how we feel when we work hard, do well, however no one seems to notice. It’s concerning, disappointing, and can even be demotivating. As we go through life it should be clear that no one succeeds alone. We all do better when we act in collaboration, as a team, or as a family. So think about your teammates, your peers, those who help out when there’s a need. Are they experiencing your gratitude? Do they feel valued? Are we thanking those who help us? Are we sincere and specific when we express our gratitude? Think about how you can express your gratitude today.
