Winning

Winning Matters.

I am in NYC and heading to the Yankees game tonight. I can't help but think of George Steinbrenner who died recently when I think of winning.

Possibly the best medicine for the human spirit is winning.

Are you winning today?

If not, why not?

And what are you going to do about it?

Self Motivation!

The best motivation is self motivation.

In my life journey, I have found this to be true: When you know what you want, and you really want it, you will find a way to get it.

  • How about you today?
  • Are you self motivated?
  • Do you really know what you want?
  • Do you love your job?
  • Do you love where you live?
  • Do you go for it in life?

If not, what are you waiting for?

Positive Reactions

I have been really working on putting problems into proper perspective.

At the core, we only have two options with an event:
  • Positive Reaction
  • Negative Reaction

With only a limited amount of time and energy I have been gifted, doesn't it make sense to really focus on only positive reactions? What good comes from negative reactions?

So with my energy and time here are my choices:

  • Productive Use: faith, family, love, serve others, help, care, make a difference, have an impact
  • Non-Productive: drama, fight, resistance, over reactions, focus on small meaningless details

My work is to take events and react positively by using my limited time and energy in a productive manner. Easier said than done....but then again, when it's all said and done for me, I want it to be said: Chris did more than he said...
