Will anyone complain if we make things easier to understand?

Quote about insight
Insight allows you to see things that others may miss (Physician’s x-ray lab wall)

 

No one will complain if the teacher makes things easier to understand. Not the audience anyway.

But folks that think more is more, folks that are much less prone to refining, and folks that have incredible disparity between what they teach and what they do in real life – they will be the first to complain of an excellent teacher’s methods.

And so it goes.

If you’d like to go to my LinkedIn profile and endorse ‘simplicity’ that would be swell. It’s right there next to the other two skills listed: determination and humility.

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?

Heaven forbid we get so used to this that we never change

Chances are great we are living in a rat race, on the treadmill of mediocrity. Heaven forbid we get so used to this that we never change.

 

 

Ask just one simple question to the person in your mirror, “Am I an example or a warning?”

The catalyst for change almost always comes from someone who is gentle, generous, and direct (and won’t tolerate any excuses).
