If, you don’t know what you want, it is super hard to get there.

That is why purpose, vision, and commitment are so important.

Every decision becomes easier when you are guided by your own and your team’s Purpose, Vision & Commitment.

The biggest blinder and obstacle to feeling good is comparison. 

Comparing what we don’t have,

comparing what we once were, 

comparisons never end, and we will never measure up. 

The trick is to let go of comparisons, so true gratitude can fill our lives. 

Validation is fine, and sometimes good, as long as the validation is not your source of self-esteem and confidence. 

The best way to find out what you want is to write it down and then take action. 

If after writing, and it doesn’t feel right, change.

If you start doing, and it doesn’t feel right, change. 

If you want to be influential:

serve first, 

and,

serve last. 

Those who work hard,

will always feel better, 

and find more purpose, 

then those who lay around and wait to feel better,

and wait for purpose to find them. 

If someone is helpful, 

and works hard, 

and is consistent, 

and they show concern,

and their actions match their words, 

and they don’t ask for praise, 

they are the ones you can trust. 

Often the right next step isn’t more, new, or different action, it is actually just awareness. 

Awareness leads to better decisions. 

Better decisions leads to better actions, which could mean fewer actions. 

Focus on being aware of yourself, others, and the thoughts and feelings on all sides, and watch your actions improve. 

Pay attention to negative instant emotions, take action, protect yourself and others, and then move on. Do not dwell on those negative emotions or they become feelings, and those feelings turn into negative beliefs. We fulfill what we believe. 

Stress is always directly and proportionally related to how much negative thinking we are allowing our brains to explore and dwell upon.
