The Best of You

Monday, July 4th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ What is possible for you? Do you have latent talents that you haven’t tapped into yet?

President Kennedy confidently declared, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”

Declare an impossible vision for yourself, and then watch who you have to become to make it possible. What is possible for you?

Have a great Monday!

Life is But a Game

Monday, June 13th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Life is but a game. You can’t win. You certainly can’t lose. And, it’s the only game you have. But you are constantly reminded that the other players exist—the boss, the family, the neighbor, the church… and they are all telling you what they think is best for you.

At the end of the day, you make your own decisions. It’s your game. And the points you rack up in your lifetime are on you.

But often, especially in the workplace, you are not the only authority in the decision making process. You must find a way to get things done, despite not being in charge.

Make your vision clear to those whose ideas conflict with your own. If your vision is truly more effective, show them why. Chances are, they will appreciate your effort toward identifying an area of growth and allow you to move forward. Play on. Enjoy the game.

Have a great Monday!

Stick to the Strategy

Monday, June 6th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Poker, for those at the highest level, is more than a game of luck. Though luck clearly plays its role, a good player has a strategy—a system they have developed and that they follow. When dealt a pair of aces, chances are you’ll play. When dealt a 7 and a 2, the cards are mucked immediately. But then comes the flop: 7, 7, 2. If you’d held the other cards, you’d have a full house!

Frustrated? Of course. But a professional wouldn’t be. A good player knows they played the hand correctly. They know they’ll get hurt in the long run if they consistently play those lowly hands. They’re not bothered by the missed opportunity.

So chances are, once in a while you are going to miss your ‘full house.’ And chances are you’ll be a bit frustrated. But realize that proper technique and strategy pay off long term. Move on to the next big hand.

Have a great Monday!

Relish the Journey

Monday, April 25th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Imagine that I press a magical button and you’re on top of a mountain. The view is breathtaking. You see for miles: rivers, valleys, trees, and elk roaming a valley.

Now imagine that you had to climb that mountain. You had to sweat. You had to work. You had to push beyond what you’d previously thought possible. Don’t you think the view would now be just a bit more breathtaking?

Denis Waitley’s words are right on: “Winners take the time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so very exhilarating.” Love the challenges you face. Relish the journey.

Have a great Monday!

Out on the Skinny Branches

Monday, April 18th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ I’m not sure where the notion gained acceptance, but sometimes the unwise will suggest that it is not okay to make mistakes. I argue the contrary.

Mistakes often indicate that you’ve tried something new. Mistakes often result from action. But most importantly, mistakes are always learning opportunities, provided you learn the lesson so that you don’t repeat that same mistake.

It is incredibly easy to find your groove and continue on fearlessly in that groove. But sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and let yourself fall. You will not be successful every time. But if you never step into the unknown, out onto the skinny branches, you’ll never achieve the success you desire.

Have a great Monday!
