Our single most influential power is energy. If we radiate positive energy, nothing else matters.
Our circle of influence is in the energy of our room – zoom room, our physical space, our mind – wherever. Why stoop to the level of where we adapt to the energy of anyone else’s room? It’s a deliberate choice to fill our room with positive energy. We can send so much positive energy we can shift the vibration of any room we are in. We control our room. Let us be the influencer of positive energy in our room today. When we’ve said everything we can say to make those that matter understand, we can always try one more thing.
When we feel like there’s nothing left to give to those we love, we can always give just a little more. When the world says give up and move on, we can rely on that little voice that tells us we can stay. When we feel like there is little hope, we can dig deep to rekindle our spirit. Let us be the one that lights the way today. Have you noticed that we get stronger when we think we can’t continue, but we keep pushing anyway? Sometimes we think life gets easier, but the reality is, it doesn’t and it never will. We just get more resilient and with resilience, we get stronger.
When we think we’ve gone as far as we can go, we can always find a way to keep going. When we think we don’t have anything else left to give, we can always dig just a little deeper. It’s when we’ve given all we’ve got; we find out just how strong we are. Let us find our strength right under our feet today. The easiest habit we can build on is to keep the promises we make to ourselves. That may be one of the few things we can control. It’s easy to slip into keeping promises we make to others but overlook the promises we make for us. It’s usually because we love others so much and care about what they want, we compromise what we want.
After we break too many promises to ourselves, we start to feel like we are lacking in some way. Let us put gas in our tank and keep the promises we make to ourselves today. How we deal with expectations may influence our day more than anything else. We don’t rise to low expectations. High expectations are a key ingredient to success. On the other hand, expectations are at the core of discontent.
Once our expectation becomes a reality, and comes into the now and present moment, there are two things we can do to change our perspective immediately. Turn our expectation into appreciation. Trade in our expectation for acceptance. Let us manage our expectations without any disappointments today. Even for the most productive people, it’s easy to get trapped into thinking we are making progress because we are thinking, preparing, and organizing. It may feel like we are making progress but often it’s busy work, reluctance or procrastination.
It takes jumping in, getting started and making real progress. Even if we don’t feel like it. Even if we feel we aren’t ready. Even if we don’t have all the pieces figured out. Action is a way to figure things out in real time. Let us begin and have faith our action will guide the way today. Part of our day includes managing stress. It’s the nagging constraining force or influence that we must deal with. It’s difficult to get rid of.
We might try turning the equation around. Stress itself is a reaction to a stressor. The stressor is the issue. It’s anything that creates a stress reaction. We can think of the stressor as the cause of our stress and what happens as a result is stress. If we are overwhelmed (stressed) by doing tasks that don’t matter, if we can, why not remove those tasks (stressors)? Let us release insignificant stressors and be more stress free today. One of the most rewarding things in our work is the connections we make with others. Highly motivated people want to connect and climb the ladder of success. Connecting is tricky because it involves a win-win – a little climbing and a lot of connecting.
Let us do both delicately and balance climbing with connecting today. Learning may be the most magnificent thing in the world. “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.”
Why would anyone ever choose to not learn? Learning is one of the few things that can never be taken away from us. When we share what we learn, the value of our learnings is multiplied over and over. Let us be inspired to learn as if we will live forever today. For the small things in life, why not keep them small? Why make small things bigger than they need to be? Small things are non-impactful, lower priority, so-what things, who cares in the larger scheme of things.
Minimizing small things saves energy. Decisions around those things are unimportant. Why mull over it in our minds? Why make a mountain out of a molehill? Let us rise above the small things so we can make big things happen today. |
