I thought it was a great read and hope you'll enjoy it too.

Why Emotionally Intelligent Minds Embrace the 3-Question Rule A few seconds can make a huge difference.

The world is complicated. Or rather, the world seems complicated. When in fact it is much simpler than it seems, and so are the solutions, unless the solutions make you feel uncomfortable. Then our brains want to protect us from the discomfort, causing us to avoid the solution.

Take a chance. Go for the solution. The discomfort will pass. And you will be better off than ever.

This is so easy to forget.
And so important to remember.

It’s not just what you say.
It’s how you say it.
It’s how much you mean it.
It’s the example you set.

People sense the difference.

Leadership is fostering, not forcing

Leadership is hard!

It’s hard because to do it well you need to balance the ego boosting trappings of your position with the ego offending practice of asking for the advice and opinions of those you lead. Then, in the end, taking responsibility for making a decision that not everyone will be able to enthusiastically support.

This is the core of why, in my opinion, leadership is rare. It’s easy to understand the quality. It’s easy to agree with the qualities. It is not easy at all to practice the qualities consistently.

Choosing your connections is your superpower.

Choosing what thoughts you focus on.
Choosing who you spend time with.
Choosing what media you pay attention to.

These choices influence your thoughts and attitudes.
And your thoughts and attitudes direct your future.

Choose your connections wisely.
You don’t control what’s around you.
But you do control your potential.

It happens all the time.

You know it’s true.

Wise words ...

A wise Spanish proverb says “cada cabeza es un mundo,” which means “every head is a world,”.

We each have our own perspective.

My LinkedIn contact Marcy Westcott shared this with me, and I wanted to pass it on.

“It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.”
~ Eddie Cantor

Success is a result, not a cause.

Getting what you desire is thought of as success.
And it is always a result of overcoming something.

Even the very fortunate,
from their perspective,
have had to overcome something.

It’s never too late to do your best.

Anyone who tells you it is too late,
does not fully understand your potential.

Another way to put this is to share this quote.

“Tell the world what you intend
to do, but first, show it.”

~ Napoleon Hill
