I Want to Start the Month of May Off on the Right Path… I am sure like many of you, am so tired of reading, hearing, and talking about the “Doom & Gloom”. I have done a couple of speeches and written a couple of articles this month about changing your script and had great reviews and was picked up by other blogs. So I wanted to share hopefully a different outlook and the power of changing your script and re-channeling your focus.
Is the Sky Really Falling??? You can’t open a newspaper or watching the news and hear about all the bad things going on. The issue is most of it is true. The financial, real estate, airline, automotive, & hospitality are all in the dumps… AT THE SAME TIME. Yes this is a perfect storm and why it is deep and wide. It is not the end all that it is cracked up to be though. This is not the first time and definitely won’t be the last. Even if this is more prolonged than the ones in recent past.
I Truly Believe Life is 1% What Happens to You & 99% How You React To It… Life is a choice. We all have a choice how we percieve this time and how it affects us. You can’t do the same things you have always done and get different results. You have to change how you are approaching everything.
1. Change Your reps… If you are used to doing 40 push ups a day, then you have to increase your reps to 200 to get the same results right now.
2. Change Your Angle… Instead of sitting in a crowd looking at the sky waiting for it to fall. Change your viewing angle. Look down, under every rock twice for opportunities. Don’t watch the news, make your own news.
3. Change Your Motion… Instead of being a statue, increase your motion. Be fluid, be loose, be liquid. Laugh a lot. Smile, enjoy life and remember it could always be worse.
4. Change Your Focus… Quit focusing where you are right now, put all your time, energy and passion where you want to be. Determine where you will be in 6 months or 12 months and you will be there.
5. Change Your Mindset… Change breeds fear because it is unknown. Fear of the unknown is what paralyzes people. Put that fear to the side and look at the situation for what it really is… Once you break it down into smaller compartments, it won’t feel so big. Another great idea is to look at what other successful people are doing and copy them. That will bring confidence.
6. Change Your View… You will have to really believe in your heart in what you are doing. It has to be genuine, but if you dont feel it. Then fake it until you make it. Just add these to your daily routine and before you know it, you will own it and it will be you. So even though you may feel you have to conciously do it, it will become subconcious with time.
7. Change…Period… No one is going to ordain you that it is now time to change. You have to DECIDE to do that yourself. Then spend every day trying to perfect it.
These do not guarantee success, but they do guarantee a 100% chance for change. I believe if you commit to these principles, they can transform everything you do and the way that you view your life. I hope it will bless you as much as it has me. Now, get out of your own way and get out there and make change happen.
What ways are you defeating the doom & gloom? Please share what you are doing and ways others can grow?
