Every great CEO knows this

Doesn’t take a genius to comprehend the power of common sense

 

Being inspired is an inside job.

Every CEO who gets great financial results and whom people admire knows this.

Our attitude impacts everything else in our life.

For the front line person. For the CEO.

Make no mistake, the one thing art requires above all others

Santa's milk and cookies
We awoke yesterday to Christmas mysteries, like milk & cookies from the night before.

 

This morning as we start thinking about New Years, personally pulling for all of us to recognize the guts we all know we have, yet almost neglect to the point of starvation.

Will we change the rules we live by in 2014?

The rules that would help us be our true, authentic, amazing self?

Beyonce made up her own set of rules…caught people off guard, and flipping slayed status quo…

Are you an artist? Wait, not with paint or music…

Will we become the artist we are destined to release to the world?

Art is doing things differently. Or better. Sometimes both. And differently isn’t even necessarily ‘better’, it’s just different.

Art always involves guts. Make no mistake. Having guts is art.

Who knew?

Go.

In 2014, just go.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.

That, too, is art.

A year from now, we’ll wish we would have started this week.

We can work together to light up our courage to do all those things we promised ourselves long ago.

Peace and blessings.

Four leading indicators we observe in people who are trying hard

Thrivers won’t be shaken.

 

Four leading indicators we observe in people who are trying hard:

  1. they make more mistakes than safety seekers
  2. they often delay fun activities because there’s work to be done
  3. they always find joy in smaller things because that’s all their time permits
  4. you have noticed for a long time they make fewer and fewer excuses

When told by people demonstrating great life balance, thriving is a completely different vibe than the one told by those seeking it.

Literally everything we have been told about joy is not the way it actually works.

Only a thriver knows this.

We are all born to thrive.

When we focus on the hassles in our life, this one thing plummets out of control

Store front named Lofty Ambitions in Hamilton, ON
What kills our lofty ambitions?

 

When we focus on the hassles in our life, our self awareness plummets. And our attitude is poisoned. By midlife, we should see this coming each morning.

And each morning, as a person of wisdom and experience, we should prepare to battle the temptations to live with this toxicity. And not do it.
