Another brand new day. What is it going to be? You are in charge of that.

 

Was reading yesterday and stumbled upon this statement:

You can never expect to be someone else’s priority if you aren’t your own.

What does this mean? For starters it is flawed thinking.

Why?

Because as a midlife adult, truth be told, no one will ever care more about you than you.

Everything that happens to us is our responsibility.

Running our life is like running a business, like it or not.

And not paying attention to the business details will drive us to bankruptcy.

And approaching each day in a balanced way, and with excellence, will keep our business in the black.

Insight: Be the entrepreneur you have always dreamt of being, starting with your promotion to CEO of You, Inc.

The whole part about changing.

Remember?

Changing… wanting to… promising to recommit… remember?

To tackle today in a balanced way, I love jumping from mind (this blog) to body (this blog).

Culture is what people think and do without thinking. Disney Cast are taught from day one (even earlier actually) that excellence is the only acceptable standard. Boomers, if you’ve never worked or lived in this type of environment, it may be challenging to understand or comprehend.
