An Off Day

Yesterday, I wrote about taking a day off to recharge. Today let’s examine those days when things don’t go as planned.

Everyone has off days. Everyone. I have had them all my life, and there will be more in days to come. But not every day is an off day. It’s important to keep life in perspective, and not hold on too tightly to the dark periods.

Always remember that you have gotten through every difficult time in your life. You are still standing. And you will get through the next bad time, too, if you just keep going…

Growing Pains

Growth happens over time, and sometimes it doesn’t. Allow me to explain.

When I look back on my life a year ago, I see areas that I have grown. Yet I see areas I haven’t improved in, or if I have improved it was only marginal. This frustrates me.

I’m reminded that personal growth will happen, but only if I choose to be responsible for it happening. The choice was mine a year ago, and it remains my choice today…

Limitless

Our minds have unlimited power. How do we tap into that power and use it for good?

The first step is we must believe in the limitless creative possibilities our brains possess. If we don’t believe, we will not get anywhere.

The next step is to stop overthinking things. Quieten your mind and let it do the work. It will, we just need to stay out of the way.

Finally, whatever we have a burning desire for, our minds will become focused like a laser beam to make it happen.

Get quiet, and allow your mind to work for you. It takes daily practice, but then it becomes part of your identity…

Envy

Answer this question honestly, are you envious of someone? If the answer is no, congratulations. You have overcome one of the things that robs us of peace and contentment. But if you said yes, let’s examine this.

The root of envy is dissatisfaction. We aren’t fulfilled in some area of life. The best news? You can change that. You have the ability to take action and do something about the area of life you are dissatisfied in. It’s up to each of us. It always has been in our power.

Turn your envy into fuel to propel yourself forward. Start now…

Leaders

For many years, I have written and spoken on leadership. There are a lot of characteristics that make up a good leader, but today I will only focus on one: compassion.

A compassionate leader thinks about the people he or she leads. That type of leader recognizes that an organization will only be as good as the people, and that people need to know they are important, they are valued. And a compassionate leader must be authentic. People can see through bullshit a mile away!

If you are in a leadership role, I encourage you to lead with compassion. You will get the most out of your people by leading this way, and you’ll have greater personal job satisfaction…

Happiness

Are you happy, really happy? Maybe you’re just slugging your way through life, acting like everything is okay when it’s not.

Everyone goes through dark periods in their lives. No one escapes them. But the difficulties of life don’t last. Strong people last.

Seek fulfillment, not happiness. Fulfillment keeps us going, even when we aren’t happy…

Scarcity or Generosity

What are your thoughts on the title of today’s entry? Whatever your answer is will reveal an insight to your mindset.

If you have a scarcity mindset, you will be inclined to hold onto your possessions tightly. The fear of not having enough or even being enough will cloud your thoughts.

A mindset of generosity knows that sharing what you have will always leave you feeling fulfilled. You give without worry.

Remember this universal law: when we give, we get…
