The storms are happening in our lives! Whether it’s literally a storm of a hurricane touching down and completely displacing you and your family (I sincerely hope this is not the case), or the storms that you and I face in terms of the unexpected, unplanned events like a cancer diagnosis or a team member who decided unexpectedly to leave their job, it’s a lot. It’s a lot to handle for anyone.
What’s your story?
Your story is made up of:
1. Your past mistakes
2. Your unique experiences
3. Your past successes
Now is the perfect time to re-frame the story of who you are that may not serve you. For example, past mistakes don’t mean you are a mistake. Re-frame those situations as choices that you made that make you the strong resilient person that you are today.
If you are like the rest of the world, you are dealing with some sort of change. The change you are experiencing could be how you make, distribute, deliver or manage your product or service. Please know that the success of adapting and adopting new protocols will depend on the mindset of all involved. You can choose to be wither a victim, a vacationer or volunteer.
How are you doing? As we shift seasons, and move into September, it’s the perfect time to take inventory. Not inventory of any product but of your relationship capital. Who is in your inner circle, or as I like to say, your front-row?
What brings you energy? What brings you that burst of excitement and motivation? Here’s a hint for today’s front-row Friday….do more of THAT! My mentor and president of High Point University, Dr. Nido Qubein says that people protect their assets and their possessions but don’t protect their time and energy like they should.
