Motivational Monday #243: Stepping Stone or Stumbling Block?

 

When adversity hits we can choose to let it be a stumbling block, or a stepping stone. Not an easy choice, but it is indeed. When things happen, in that moment we have a choice, learn or lose; grow or gravel; forward or fear. 

Choose to use those instances as stepping stone and not stumbling blocks.  There is another side of this as well. We can choose to place stepping stones or stumbling blocks for others as well. This is a part of leadership for each of us in our lives. When we choose to make them stepping stones we are showing others the way to navigate through hard terrain that we have learned from our experiences. I encourage us to leave a part of stepping stones in our wake as I'm sure we have all had others at times do the same for us and we were appreciative of it.


When circumstances come up that may cause stumbling, say "What can I learn here?" grow & make it a stepping stone instead. Make the choice when it's easy & especially when it is difficult. 


You can do it.

Motivational Monday #247: Adapting is not a luxury if....

  Adapting is not a luxury if you want to keep succeeding at a high level.   Recognizing factual changes in an economy, market or industry is something we all must do. Then, with that knowledge we must look at what we are current doing and make updates/changes accordingly in order to keep the pace we want to be on. If things change and we do not, we still change, but at the control of outside and not inside.  Change does not mean (though it may in some cases) leaving some things fully behind. It may mean we do MORE of some things, less of others or a combination of both. The only MUST is to do something; doing nothing is becoming a passenger. We also do not change for the sake of change. We change to help us adapt effectively. Effectively is defined as getting us to the goal or destination that we set forth. We don't lower our goal/standards when things change; we ourselves rise up.  It's a choice every day and many times during the day as well to rise up. Others will choose t

Motivational Monday #258: Give Up

Image
  Just because something use to be a road block in the past does not mean it has to be now. YOU CAN DO IT! Give up on thinking that hard is impossible. Give up on believing that the idea or thing in your heart is not for you. Give up on allowing outside opinions the power to hold you down.  When you give up these things it allows you to PICK UP what you need to achieve the goals you have in your head and your heart. Potential is a great things, but it becomes truly beautiful when you embark on the journey towards achievement of it. On the journey you will have obstacles, don't give up. On this journey you will encounter people who will hinder you as well as people that enable you; mind that difference. On your journey you will also be inspiring others by your words and actions for them to Give up as well, so they can PICK UP & Go as you are.

Motivational Monday #266: Take The Hill

Image
Standing at the base of a journey looking up my feel daunting. That may be true, it m ay be daunting, but worth it. We choose the journey ahead, forward & up because we want to improve, grow, succeed & provide. We grow into that accomplishment & when we get to the top we enjoy the view and celebrate. Please remember the journey that we take in order to get there. Those are the victors, wins, setbacks and stories that create it all while creating who & what we are.  We are capable.  We are equipped.  We are worth it.
