The best poker players in the world don’t always have the best cards to play. They are the best players because they observe their opponents body language. It’s a skill they developed after years of study.
What about our observations? We can get so wrapped up in ourselves that we might miss something in another person. Watch the eyes of your counterpart when engaging in conversation. The eyes tell everything. Listen with your heart…
We get diversity wrong. By focusing solely on skin color and nothing else, we miss a lot.
Everyone we meet has different life experiences, beliefs, goals, dreams, pain, struggles and purpose. This is where diversity of thought comes from.
Look beyond what you see on the outside. Look at and get to know the heart of others…
Do you want something? Do you really really want it? Plant the vision in your mind. Think about it all the time. Get emotionally excited about it, and then work for it. You will make it happen…
We live in a “look at me” culture. Being the center of attention has overtaken common sense in some cases. Do you remember the so-called “influencer” who videoed himself licking a public toilet bowl? He has no influence over me.
Focus on doing what’s right, being kind and compassionate without worrying about getting the attention. These characteristics never go out of style…
Many people talk about moving out of their comfort zone, but how many actually do it? That takes faith, wisdom, and discernment that you are on the right path.
If your motives are true, right and noble, you are going the right direction. And remember, growth only comes in the discomfort zone…
Are you fulfilled in your life? If you answered yes, congratulations! But if your answer is no, you have the power to change your life.
A fulfilling life has nothing to do with money. It’s about service. Serving others changes you. There’s something magical and unexplainable about the feeling you get when you do something for someone who can never repay you.
If you aren’t getting all you want from life, ask for more. Then go do the work…
Satiety means you have had enough. If someone you know is treating you rudely, or abusively, or any other wrong behavior, you will eventually hit your satiety point with them.
Conversely, when someone treats you well, with loving kindness, you want more.
Spend your time with those who enrich your life, not the ones who aren’t good for you…
People who have mediocre mindsets will try to drag you down to their way of thinking. You can’t lift them up. It’s best to take the hard step and separate yourself from those people. They will find other prey, and you will be better off…
You’ve probably heard the saying, “people are doing the best they can.” That’s usually not true.
Don’t get me wrong. I have great compassion for working families who are doing everything they can to make ends meet and hold it together. I’m talking about the people who have been given great gifts, yet don’t fully utilize them. I’m referring to the people who choose television over human connection. Those who aren’t giving their best.
Everyone procrastinates. Don’t let procrastination become a way of life and miss your true calling…
We fail at things every day. But how you define failure will determine if you really have failed or not.
Your failures don’t define you unless you allow them to. Having a success mindset means you are willing to accept some failures along the way. When you understand this, you will be free of the fear of failure and you become unstoppable.
