“Time Leaks”

You don’t have time to do the things that are important to move you towards what you want?

Most of us spend lots of time each day doing things that don’t matter to us tomorrow.  If we can just stop doing low value activities, we’d “find” plenty of time.

Are you doing the “important things”?

Man in the Mirror

We all see situations differently.  A loving person lives in a loving world. An angry person lives in an angry world.  Each person you meet is your mirror.

What does your reflection look like? 

Habits control our results

If we want to grow, we must realize our habits were made for a life we no longer have or want.

Is it time for US to change?

Election Day

On election day, I think it’s helpful to remember this quote by Warren Buffet – 

“Diapers and politicians require regular changing – and for the same reason.”

Gratitude

Being thankful and appreciating what you have in your life is a sure way to attract more.

What are you grateful for?

In your hands, and in your head.

I don’t know what your future holds, but I know who holds it.

You.

Supply and Demand in Jobs

If a lot of people do what you do, or can do what you do, you won’t get paid a lot.

If you do something that creates value and is in demand, that not a lot of people do or can do, you will get paid more than other people.

That’s how it works – and it’s a good thing.

Why do we get paid?

We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace.  It takes time, but we don’t get paid for the time.  We get paid for the value we bring.

What you need to figure out is how to bring more value in less time.

“The Sleep of a Laboring Man is Sweet”

Tired at the end of the day?  Great.  It means you did something.  You gave what you had and didn’t waste it.  

Sleep well.

A crock pot, not a microwave

You don’t ignore your own development everyday for years and then go to a multi-day seminar to fix it.  Personal growth is an ongoing process.  It’s a habit woven into your daily schedule, over and over.

Do you read, listen, learn or teach each day?
