Today, we can really see character defined.
Heck, when times are good, of course; everyone is a pleasure to be around, people are generous; people are kind; smiles and laughter all over the place. But what about when times are tough? Here is what I am seeing (not always but far too much):
- Panic
- Paralysis and no action (zero execution)
- Rudeness
- Stingy
- Unmotivated
Sad. Really sad.
But there is good news. There are some leaders, businesses and people out there that even in the darkest moments, raise above and just make a huge positive difference. Those folks just get it done in this life (no matter what the environment looks like). I love being around those folks! Here is some bullet points of how leaders in times of crisis think and behave:
- Positive. Always.
- Do it now mindset
- Why not? thinking.
- Fully understanding they learn more in tough times rather than good times
- Embrace adversity
- Be more generous
- Treat others even better
- Serve others even more
What to do? Find those positive people and surround yourself with them. If negative, get yourself fixed by intentionally getting a check up from the neck up. Understand that in today's tough times, you really are defined. Define yourself today. You can make the choice: Go Positive and make a huge impact and difference or Go Negative and be just like the many and the media.
But understand you have to make the choice. And the choice you make defines you. It's just that simple.
