Question Your Beliefs

This is how humans are:  we question all our beliefs, except for the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question.  ~ Orson Scott Card ~ 

To succeed you must question the validity of your beliefs.  Holding steadfast to some of your beliefs will keep you from moving forward.  Always be on the watch for shifts in paradigms.  What you are working on today, what you are thinking about today will be different in the future. As a leader you must always be willing to change your mind and grow. Otherwise, whatever organization you run, whatever team you lead  will stagnate or worse...fail.


1. Close your eyes
2. Breathe
3. Empty your mind
4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:


"I will learn to question my beliefs to order to grow."

Lead With a Better Perspective

You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation:
If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Author Unknown

Leadership is perspective.  How you look at things will be the difference between failure and success.  If you always view problems and issues, then that is all you will ever see.   Remember, when bad things happen to you there is always a lesson.  There is always a value to take away.    Look at things in a more opportunistic way and you will find opportunity.

1. Close your eyes
2. Breathe
3. Empty your mind
4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:


"I will find success with a more positive outlook."
