Rather than medicating ourselves with the shortcomings of others

Florida Fall clouds
Letting things go becomes easier with practice (and can be mastered over time)

 

Nearly everyone we observe (including ourselves) sees everyone else’s shortcomings. And they say, so-and-so just needs to do this or do that.

And they think so-and-so should just use common sense.

Was thinking, if common sense was the answer, then wouldn’t we all be positive, fit, peaceful, fulfilled, finically secure, a model employee or leader, organized, etc?

The beauty about overmanaging our personal responsibility is that we become very well rounded and successful at delivering balanced life results.

And when this happens, we feel so good about ourselves (even with our many shortcomings) because of the harmonious alignment of our energy (and results).

Something magical happens. We no longer worry about what others do or don’t do.

Don’t get me wrong, we are fully aware of our surroundings, but we focus our energy on self-improvement rather than medicating ourselves with the shortcomings of others.

Personal leadership is a real thing

Quote from leadership book about lies
Leadership is not something someone else does. It is us, leading ourselves. First and foremost.

 

Personal leadership is a real thing. Know what it is? It is not a secret.

What is it if it isn’t our personal responsibility to know why we are here?

To know what we are good at and how it contributes to the greater good, and that we must continuously work hard to do it better, with greater impact and reach?

It’s challenging to look at our age old habits and issues differently. Why? Because how has it paid off for us in the past? Most likely, not as well as we dreamt.

So here’s what I’m proposing: Don’t look at the ‘issue’ or the ‘problem’ differently. Look at your motivation to succeed differently.

Hands down the single best way to up your game

Columbus Learning Center Ivy Tech Campus
You do not have to be a professor to teach others. All you need is a teacher’s heart.

 

Want to up your game? Teach what you know to others. You may never be asked to or paid to, so initiate it. To teach is to learn twice. Nothing makes you smarter than teaching.

And nothing makes a teacher smarter still, than practicing what they preach. Most do not. This is where the remarkable teachers have the opportunity obligation to rise above all the others.

And to leave a legacy of having a teacher’s heart.
