Positive ways to stay ahead

Think about this ...

If everyone got to the office at the same time you get to the office, would the office ever open for business on time?

If everyone drives the way you do, would we all have pleasant driving experience?

If everyone treats each other the way you treat people, would our society be filled with love & empathy?

The next generation is watching our every move & soaking in all our deeds GOOD & BAD ... In fact, they are learning more from our ACTIONS than our words ...

So the big question would be ... what kind of behavior are we modeling for them to be like?

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world”.

It is easy to criticize & condemn others, but we must first start with 'the man in the mirror' and become the examples of the lives that we wish others would live.

I believe today is a good day for us to decide to live our lives as ROLE MODELS WORTHY OF EMULATION.

From my own Perspective, we all need to work hardest on ourselves individually and make that change on ourselves. That is where change begins, leadership by example is the fastest way to impact change.

HERE’S WHAT TO DO TO STAY POSITIVE IN A NEGATIVE WORLD.

1) Counter negativity by putting up positive reminders (pictures, messages, notes) in places you can see.

2) Dedicate yourself to reading and listening to positive books and programs to shift your thinking and your actions.

3) Exercise 20 minutes every day. Keeping your body healthy is just as important as keeping your mind well-trained.

4) Write down your future goals and dreams daily in present tense as though the goal has been achieved.

5) Create and commit to a disciplined schedule and do not deviate from it. This will create a sense of control.

6) Get an agreement from friends, family, and coworkers to stop all negativity and even make a game of it.

7) Start eating and drinking foods that are healthy. Avoid sugars during the day, and heavy meats in the evenings in addition to increasing your water consumption.

8) Go to Sleep Early and Get up Early! If you don’t control when you go down, you won’t control when you get up. Early bird stills gets the worm, don’t kid yourself.

9) Fill Up Your Calendar with Activity. White space on a calendar creates uncertainty. The more you have to do the more you will and can do. Commit to more not less.

10) Avoid drugs and excess  alcohol because of the negative influence they have on your mind.

Remember, staying positive is the one single trait you can have that will separate you from others and bring you not only more happiness in life, but more money.

Be great, Be Humble, Be Focused , Be Hungry and Always Hustle.

Do Have a Productive Week and Enjoy your day.
