Get these
1. Time well
invested. Imagine if we invested as much time to detect our
purpose as we do to hunt for jobs; we would need to spend a lot of time hunting for jobs.
2. Feeling smart. There are two instances
we feel the smartest: when preparing our resumes and when filling job
applications.
3. True potential.
Our true potential is only revealed after losing
something valuable like a loved one, a job, money, a friend, or a business.
4. Money sense. An employee thinks in terms
of $ per hour, a self-employed in $ per job, a business owner in $ per
relationship, and an investor in $ per $. Thinking is different and so are the
results. The business owners and investors comprise 5% of the population and control 95% of the money.
5. Committees
are overrated. A committee is most
productive when all but one member does not show up.
6. Understanding value.
Value is the ability to commend a
price. Most of our value resides above our necks. Very few people get this one!
7. Dealing with others. Imagine applying the AAA
(accept, approve, appreciate others) and refrain from the CCC (complain,
criticize, condemn others) on a daily basis.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Share them with others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
