As CEO of You, Inc, you’re in charge of everything in your life.

A growth mindset takes full responsibility and has zero tolerance for excuses and unfavorable circumstances.

There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out”

personal sketch of Florida home
Years ago, a neighbor had note cards made for us as a gift, featuring a hand-drawn image of our home.

 

Have had a box of these note cards – with a hand-drawn sketch of our home – for about 20 years.

i rarely use them because they’re so special and unique.

There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out” of these cards.

To which the me of 2018 says, “So what?”

Enclosing a cash gratuity with a thank you note for a couple who help us out twice a month.

Can’t wait to run out of these cards.

Now, i’m crystal clear on the opposite

quotes
Recent FB memory, from 4 years ago, populated my feed.

 

 

In the past, rejection used to define me.

Why?

Because i let it.

Because i thought that is how it’s supposed to work.

But solitude, self-reflection, teaching, writing, and focusing on being an example rather than a warning have allowed me to see, think, and do differently.

Now, i’m crystal clear on the opposite.

Rejection doesn’t define me, my reaction to rejection does.

Can we rid our world of hate?

no hate
Yesterday, on LinkedIn of all places, a visionary message – no hate in our world. Please.

 

i’d go a step further and say, if our thoughts have any hate or malice in them, there is room for us to grow.

The best way to find out is to decide to

Library books Christmas tree
Yesterday afternoon at the High School Learning Commons (library) i dropped off a thank you gift to someone who exceeded my expectations.

 

Being decisive is one of my the most underrated tactics.

Don’t know why it’s not used more often (like daily).

Fear and doubt?

Probably.

Busy schedule?

Probably.

Best way to find out if any of that is true is to decide.

You’ll know soon enough if you still need to fear or doubt.
