-Brian Tracy
In order for us to become great leaders of others, we must first MASTER leadership of ourselves. We must learn to ENABLE ourselves to leverage our strengths, IDENTIFY and EXTINGUISH our limitations while INCREASING our self-confidence. Sounds easy huh?
When you face a DIFFICULT project – what passes through your mind? If you lost your job today – what would your EMOTIONS look like? Do you see a problem as a hurdle or an opportunity? Likely, we will all say that we face each project with a cool CONFIDENCE knowing we can get it done, if we lost our job, we would get out and get a BETTER job the next day and EVERYTHING that's difficult is just an "opportunity" to be excellent, right?! Now… what do you REALLY think?? Be CANDID with yourself (no one else will know) and consider what you would do… how you would act … and what you would think!
I, admittedly, am a person that can get SUCKED IN to a negative mindset if I am not consciously thinking about STAYING POSITIVE and ATTACKING challenges. Likely, we all do. GREAT NEWS! If you know that you are that person, you can easily IDENTIFY that trait in yourself. You can then more quickly recognize you are walking the wrong path and QUICKLY change to a POSITIVE attitude of success and achievement.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
If you are not familiar with Napoleon Hill… you need to be. He's not the great French leader, Napoleon Bonaparte (my personal favorite of all historical bad guys); rather he is a great LEADER of motivation and attitude. Mr. Hill is the author of Think and Grow Rich, a lifetime best seller and a MUST in any business person's collection.
THINK … and GROW rich huh? Is it that easy? Just THINK about it and it will happen? Possibly - when you consider the Law of Attraction and the continued success that this mentality reflects. Frequently, we do find that things come more NATURALLY to us when we have a positive mindset and EXPECT success as the only result. It is when we allow FEAR and DOUBT to create hurdles in our minds that those hurdles become more apparent in our daily lives, thus defeating us mentally.
Change your ATTITUDE through the weekend. If you have a less than desirable attitude this week – have a good one! If you have a good attitude – have a GREAT one! Think about what POSITIVE things you want to happen this week and weekend… see how many show up on your doorstep shortly thereafter.
Cheers,
Zach
