Actions have
consequences!
It is always
wise to take a beat before reacting.
Make your
response thoughtful.

Today’s Motivation EVALUATE AND MOVE ALONG
EVALUATE AND MOVE ALONG
Ever hit a road block? You’ve set things up just so, planned everything to a “T” and you are confident that all will go just as you planned.
Then life happens. Things you have arranged are not in place as expected. It could be a small issue, could be a major one. Either way you react instantaneously in some fashion. How you react makes all the difference.
This is not what I planned on sharing with you today because something went awry. There I was facing a dilemma and a bit upset since I had already written today’s piece. Noticing my reaction to the upset prompted me what to write.
You can choose to embrace an upset, rant and rave, curse and spit, kick something, look heavenward with a raised clenched fist shouting your displeasure. Can you feel your blood pressure rising? Yeah, me too.
OR you can evaluate what went wrong, figure out what needs to be done to move along and get on with life. No blood pressure problem here. No pressure at all.
I strongly recommend evaluate and move along!

Today’s Motivation ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! REALLY? REALLY!
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! REALLY? REALLY!
Attitudes are the established ways of responding to people and situations
that we have learned, based on the beliefs, values and assumptions we
hold. Attitudes become manifest through your behavior.
William N. Yeomans in "1000 Things You Never Learned in Business
School" puts it this way:
"Almost always, you have a choice as to what attitude to adopt. There is
nothing in any normal work situation that dictates you must react one way
or another. If you feel angry about something that happens, for instance,
that's how you choose to feel. Nothing in the event itself makes it absolutely
necessary for you to feel that way. It is your choice. And since you do have
a choice, most of the time you'll be better off if you choose to react in a
positive rather than a negative way."
Positive Attitude Means Longer Life
If you want to live a longer, healthier life then develop and maintain a positive
attitude – it's now a fact thanks to a study from the two American Universities.
("How A Positive Attitude Changes Your Life," Karim Hajee) Researchers fol-
lowed and studied 1500 people for 7-years. All 1500 were in good health when
the study started. Researchers followed how they aged by measuring such things
as weight loss, walking speed, exhaustion and the strength of their grip.
What exactly did they discover? They found that people who maintained a posi-
tive attitude were significantly less likely to show signs of aging, they were less
likely to become frail and were more likely to be stronger and healthier than
those that had a negative attitude. If you have a doom and gloom attitude you're
actually killing yourself and at the very least – you're negative attitude is just
making you weaker.
It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens
to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind. Learn and
master powerful strategies you can use to keep yourself thinking and acting
positively and creatively.
