Motivational Monday #196: How Deep Do We Dig


What calls for our attention? There are distractions galore in our worlds. It's out charge to fade out the true distractions and hone in on where & what we need to be doing. Many times we 100% know what to do, but we don't want to do it or we don't want to do it for as long as is needed to render the results we really want. The hard part of that is we may be right on the cusp of succeeding when we give up while at other times we really didn't give ourselves a chance to succeed & that could be for a myriad of reasons. We need to remember a couple of important points every day.

Some days we sill go faster & further than others. They run together. 

Some days we will feel like digging deep & some we won't feel like it. Dig deep anyway. 

We need to always be pushing ourselves to move forward. Part of pushing ourselves to move forward is having real conversations with ourselves an an accountability partner on what we are doing, where we are going, struggles & successes. It's OK to not win every time. We wither win or learn. It's just not ok to not give yourself a true change to win. 

No matter how you feel, 
get up, 
dress up, 
show up 
& give it your all.

New Things in 2012

So I have seen this new year (which I can't believe is already half over) as an amazing revamp for me personally and professionally. Personally I believe I have become more self aware, expanded my vision & am happy with the reflection in the mirror every morning. Professionally I was secure enough to walk away from a job that was secure in order to achieve what I wanted. (We should all enjoy what we do as we spend a lot of time doing it) We are never 'stuck' in a situation, it's just that at times the only way out is a big risk or my be uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I loved all of my co-workers and consider them family and the industry was and still is great, the company was poorly executing therefore I couldn't deliver the service levels that I felt my customers deserved. After taking three months off recharging, doing volunteer work, spending more time with my family all the while growing a sweet beard I was ready to get back into the industry t...

MM #122: No Matter How You Feel

Image
Earlier this month we had a teammate retire after 62 years with the company; yes 62 years! She shared with us all many stories from her years in the industry that were incredible, but one thing that really stood out to Donna and Myself was her final message that I have below in the picture.  She was adamant that she always gave it her best, not just for herself, but for those that relied on her. Her family. Her clients. Her escrow teams. She said that it was about the people around her just as much as her. That is what pushed her to do what she needed to do, when it needed to be done weather she felt like it or not.  I just wanted to share Sue's words with us all today.

Motivational Monday #214: Who & How

Image
Back in high school I had a wrestling coach (Coach Griffin) that would always remind us before every match that we, as a team of individuals pursue victory, but it is always with honor. We win the right way.  It took a bit of time to sink in what he really meant by that. He cared about who we were becoming and not just about what we were achieving. Wins will come and go, but how we respond to both victory & defeat reveals quite a bit about our character.  I believe who we are and who we are becoming is very important. Victory achieved through corners cut may have a short term elevation, but it will catch up & that is not a place we want to be standing. How we approach each day, each activity, each interaction is our choice.  I encourage all of us to make sure the Who we are & the How we are doing things is in line with the person we want to be. There will always be distractions calling out to you to do it another way because oth...
