3 Simple Life Changing Ideas


3 Simple Life Changing Ideas

1. Attitude- I am sure you have worked with someone with a lousy attitude sometimes that "someone" may even be yourself (I know it can be for me at times!). Being around someone with a lousy attitude is never fun, just ask my wife...

How to keep a good attitude even amidst lousy situations:
- Give Thanks- take a moment to make a list of the things you are thankful for. This will take your mind and focus off of what the negative situations in your life are.
- Learn- Read books, blogs, listen to podcasts, meet or talk with inspiring people. These are all things that have helped me "snap out of it" during a challenging season of life.

2. Responsibility- Responsibility is what I call the potter of development. Responsibility grows, molds and changes us into better people if we allow it to.

- Responsibility is the key to promotion. I don't know where we lost sight of this but today we see many people wanting more stuff, work, tittles, kids, and money yet they have been irresponsible with the relationships, and opportunities they currently have. If you are frustrated with your current life situation (work, relationships, finances) then try to excel in your current circumstance instead of changing it. Become the best version of you and situations will change over time. Patience, perseverance, and faithfulness  is what creates opportunity.

3. Vision- We can have a good attitude, be responsible people and live the most boring life known to mankind. Vision is what adds excitement, adventure, risk and meaning to life.

- Allow imagination to lead to innovation- inspiring and meaningful vision takes imagination to see, but innovation to craft. Work at developing both your imagination and your ability to innovate.
