Your attitude in life has a huge impact on how you develop and how fast you grow. ‘Developing eternal optimism is one of the greatest joys to experience for yourself and all those around you. Discover this… it is within you!’ (K.Ramsey) Another way to say that is “choose happiness”. This is an action we need to take every day. ‘Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better’ (M.Blaszczyk) We have so many opportunities to start fresh. Finally, ‘If you really want to be successful and you really want to be happy, don’t have a job, have a purpose. When you’ve got a purpose, the whole world is your office.’ (P.Coelho) Having a purpose in life is a topic I’ve mentioned before, so make sure of yours.

Influence: Idea #519
Here’s a great definition of leadership. ‘Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. When you focus on the influence you have on others over focusing on the respect you receive from the people around you, it will build your credibility. Grow influence before you grow position. Grow your connection through relationships and production more than you grow your position and the respect you want from others. When you focus on influence, leadership happens.’ (J.Maxwell) How much influence do you have, and are you working on that as a part of your development?

People: Idea #518
Here are a few things to consider when you think about others in your life. ‘Not everyone will make it to your future. Some people are just passing through to teach you lessons in life.’ (D.Steel) So ask yourself, am I learning life lessons? The other side of the coin is to ‘Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.’ (Z.Abdelnour) How hard is it to ask for help? Harder than it should be, for me, at least. And finally, recognize that ‘Every person I work with knows something better than me. My job is to listen long enough to find it and use it.’ (J.Nichols) All in all, we need to keep learning from others.
