Not with that attitude

Posted by HorrieM

Negativity will affect your outlook.

How you tackle new things.

Whether you’ll even attempt to tackle new things.

Negativity limits energy.

Reduces motivation.

It’s draining.

Negativity increases a challenge.

Is less accommodating.

Makes change harder.

Negativity is an attitude.

Negativity is a choice.

So is positivity.

 

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.” – William James

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” – Maya Angelou

Stretch your targets.

Stretch you organisation.

Stretch yourself.

Leave them with no other choice

Do great work.

Deliver the results.

Not just this job.

Every job.

Work with great people.

Develop relationships.

Take time to understand people.

All people.

Rinse and repeat.

Deliver results and develop relationships.

The opportunities will come.

Then you will leave them no other choice.

Restoring the peak

Posted by HorrieM

Peak performance is just that.

It’s a peak.

Correspondingly, there are troughs.

You cannot always be “on”, all the time.

Periods of “off” are required as well.

To accelerate and then take your foot of the gas.

To ebb and to flow.

To soak it up and then let it out.

To rest and restore.

Ready to peak again.

 

“Mindfulness is the miracle by which we master and restore ourselves.” — Nhat Hanh

“In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel “burnout” setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself.” — Dalai Lama
