If we complain a lot we get really really good at it

Excerpt from David and Goliath
Life is about choices, whether we focus on this or not, we still have a pattern

 

If we complain a lot we get really really good at it.

If we rejoice a lot we get really really good at it.

We become what we focus on, whether we mean to or not.

Hell or Heaven?

Up to us.

Same old same old could be the best indication you are becoming a great artist.

Two days ago the client said the content delivery was the best she’s ever seen.

When these kinds of comments seem to follow wherever we go, we are becoming something remarkable.

Because we rarely remark when things are simply satisfactory.

Remarks predictably start flying when it’s awful or when it’s amazing.

A life lesson from a cab driver?

Wall mural with quotes
Some things are hard to decipher, Dave’s message was not

 

He had no money when he arrived in 1973, just a piece of paper (a passport-like travel document). No relatives, no friends, didn’t speak English.

What got our conversation started was him asking me what I do for a living. Professional speaker, here yesterday to teach Creativity and Innovation at Corporate College to the regional business community.

He has always been self-employed. Gas stations, shipping, transportation, etc. But in 2008, the EPA fined him $400,000. He went to get a loan from his long-time banker. The banker’s hands were tied. It was 2008 and the world’s economic walls were crumbling.

Eventually he paid an environmental lawyer $40,000 and then paid the EPA $10k instead of $400k.

In this same time period, he discovered his wife was seeing someone else. They divorced.

He thinks people who complain about trivial things are a joke.

Shared a smile, thanked him and told him it was a great blessing to meet him.

Personal leadership is crucial for peace and contentment in a noisy, distracting world.

We know this.

Will we accept the challenge to transform with the movement, or will we continue to follow the herd?

It is our personal responsibility to decide and no one else’s.
