Good Morning Cuppers,
Is
Our Glass Half-Full?
Many
of us will answer this question without really thinking about it, so let me
help. The glass is made up of 50% Water
and 50% Air-and is 100% FULL, all at the same time! This simple exercise is all about
perspective, and learning that when we change the way we look at something, the
very thing we are looking at changes. So...
What
if we looked at ourselves differently?
We
know the critics that live, rent-free, in our head? Sure, we do! Theirs are the voices of anybody
who ever uttered words that got seriously stuck under our skin. They are
murmuring things like: "You're not good enough," "you're not
smart enough," you're not skinny enough," or "you don't deserve
any success in life!"
Blech.
There
are four main principles considered by aeronautical engineers when designing an
aircraft: lift,
thrust, weight, and drag. Life, and the other people we get to know
along the way, is a lot like that: some people lift us up and inspire us; some
people motivate and push us to be our best; some of them are like a lead weight
around our neck; and some people are just plain drags.
The
two things to look at with this metaphor are:
1)
What kind of people do I surround myself with? and...
2)
What kind of person am I?
Are
we a driven, ambitious individual who sometimes feels a little lacking in the
motivation department? If so, we're not alone. There are ups and downs over the
course of any career, but maintaining our drive through what feels like our job
or business' Death Valley is what will cut away the competition and make us the
king of the hill. Here is a little secret that will help us fill our tank to
the brim ... every single day.
Did
you know that YouTube carries a lot more than cat videos? Set aside a little time in the morning, when
we are brushing our teeth or out for our jog (haha), and we can make our cup of
positivity and hunger for success runneth over, every single day. There are millions of inspirational videos,
pep talks, spiritual lectures, guided meditations and brilliant business minds
available at the click of our mouse. I
am happy to do this for everyone in the Kudos & Encouragement, but believe
me when I tell you, it makes us better
people if we go through and do it ourselves.
