Its easier to be part of a problem than part of the solution to that problem. Its easy to become a cancer within your own organization and join bashing and discontent, however , this only takes you down a path where it is almost impossible to crawl your way out of.
Its easy to say “that’s not my job” “why they and I don’t?” or “why me and not them?”
Sometimes we don’t even realize it because of our bitterness , we are so wrapped up expecting some reward for just doing our job , that we miss the opportunity to enjoy doing our job
Only extraordinary effort is rewarded in life, ordinary effort will give you…ordinary results.
Doing what we are paid to do is nothing to deserve a reward beside your earned salary, going above and beyond your duties is.
Be a company man, a company woman , see the benefit for Us , rather than just you, see it this way and it will come back to you ten fold.
This week, find ways to surprise yourself with an attitude of service.

Perseverance
“ I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity… If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. ”
U.S. Navy SEALS
How good are you at perseverance? When was the last time you went after a goal and fought almost impossible odds,but stayed on course until that goal was achieved? Was that goal more important than all the others? Was that goal particularly special? Big Question..shouldn’t all goals be important?
Use all your strength,both mental and physical to achieve,and enjoy your goals. Many times we get so lost in the pursuit that we forget to enjoy our achievement, just make sure you enjoy it after you achieve it and never before. Many times we also slow down just as we are about to achieve success, use Zig Ziglar’s water pump analogy, when the water is in the well and you can’t see it or hear it, pump as hard as you can until it starts coming out the spout,once that happens,keep a constant effort to keep it coming…..that’s it,pretty easy right?
This week keep your efforts strong on achieving your goals, make it personal, do not stop until it happens.

Make Today Count
2011 just rolled in , most people will have a list of resolutions and most blogs will talk about this beaten to death subject. Yes it is extremely important to write down and date your goals , and it is extremely important to keep yourself accountable.....how are you going to do that?
There are many tools, I believe that the difference maker is your attitude, where do you stand when it comes to your attitude today?
Manage your decisions daily, make everyday a master piece, there are no big events, only small ones done perfectly , pay attention to the details in your everyday life and excellence will come.
Remember that we have no control over what happens to us, but we have total control over our reaction to what happens to us.
Resolve to not be a victim , don't complain , don't whine....
People like winners not whiners weiner, we all have the mandate to reach our highest potential and become what we were always intended to be, do not waste your talents be a good steward and always strive to make every day count.
