Replace your judgments with empathy, upgrade your complaining to gratitude and trade in your fear for love.
Through the good times and bad, the quality of your relationships will ultimately determine the quality of your life. So be grateful for your loved ones and focus on adding as much value to their lives as you possibly can.
When you express gratitude everyday, you give yourself the gift of experiencing the joy of gratitude everyday. Give yourself that gift today!
Never underestimate the power of gaining a new perspective by simply changing your immediate environment. Going for a walk, reading a book, or talking to a friend can provide you with life-changing insights that you not otherwise attain while remaining stagnant.
As a leader, parent, or friend - don't let someone's poor attitude and poor performance hinder your commitment to holding them to higher standards. You don't need to make the person 'wrong' for the way they're behaving, simply point out that the behavior is ineffective.
Gratitude and complaining cannot co-exist simultaneously. Choose the one that best serves you.
The #2 cause of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential is that 'most people' never dedicate time each day to learning, growing, and developing themselves into who they need to create the life they want. DON'T BE LIKE 'MOST PEOPLE.'
Your level of success, in every area of your life, will always parallel your level of personal development. If you want Level 10 success in any area of your life, you must first develop yourself to be a Level 10 person in that area.
"My #1 guiding principle for a successful life (learned from J Brad Britton): "Do the right thing; not the easy thing." Everyday, you are constantly faced with choices to do either the right thing (any activity that moves you closer to where and who you want to be) or the easy thing (anything else). In every moment of choice, choose to do the right thing over the easy thing, and your becoming successful is inevitable.
To love your family, love your work, live your purpose and be unconditionally grateful for every moment of your life... is to succeed at the highest level (in my opinion).
Most extraordinary success includes first having to overcome extraordinary adversity. See your challenges as opportunities to become better.
You must allow yourself to start thinking BIGGER and acting BOLDER with regards to what's possible for you. Seriously. Don't wait. Start now.
When in doubt, always choose love & gratitude.
Attempting to do anything you haven't done before is always uncomfortable, and usually scary, but it is ALWAYS worth it. Fear disappears in the midst of action, and a better version of yourself awaits you on the other side of your fear. Feel the fear, and do it anyway.
Sure, we all have problems and we all have our mess, and what happens tomorrow is anyone's guess, but there's no need and no benefit to let yourself stress, because for one and for all... life is blessed!
Experience G.R.A.T.I.T.U.D.E. at a deeper level... Give it... Receive it... Affirm it... Think it... Inspire it in others... Talk about it... Understand it... Dream it... Experience it in everything you do.
I don't claim to be an expert on this, but I think ADD and creativity may be the same thing; it's just that they can't sell you drugs for being creative. Seriously, the world needs people whose minds constantly wander, because that's how great ideas are stumbled upon.
Be grateful for your challenges, setbacks, adversity and disappointments. Be grateful for your opportunity to overcome every single one, because doing so contributes to your growth & your ability to help others overcome theirs.
Until you're willing to accept what already is - the things of your past that you can't change - there's no space for you to create what you want. Acceptance is the key to unlocking the door to true peace, happiness, and freedom.
Don't 'just do it.' First, plan it, then do it.
Consider that worrying excessively about another person, especially a loved one, is a destructive act. It causes you emotional distress which prevents you from being at your best and contributing at the levels you're capable of. Instead of worrying, focus on accepting what is out of your control, and actively changing all that you can.
L.I.F.E. = Living Inspired & Fulfilled Everyday.
