Positive Change By Being A Positive Energized Person

A few days have gone by without much writing. My job has been busy this week and am preparing for a trip overseas. Another chance to put my own thoughts and methods to use in front of customers. It will also be a chance to meet with people of different nationalities. Even when a different language becomes a barrier, you have to find a way to bridge that gap.

It can be nerve wracking at times and seem overwhelming. Similar to what you may be thinking when trying to make change in your own life. It can happen that you are sitting at work wondering what it is you can do different. Work harder, take more classes - get smarter? It was written and where I can't remember right now, but it was advice being given to a new university president. He was told to take care and be nice of your top students, they will one day return and be great professers. But take even greater care of your 'C' students, for they one day will return with a check for millions to build a new facility.

It isn't the smartest that succeed all of the time. It is found that many times that the difference in success is your attitude. "Most of those who succeed in achieving their goals do it by creating an environment for opportunity. They feel that they are entitled to go after what they want in life... They open themselves to positive change by becoming positive, energized people. They don't limit themselves with a poor self-image or a negative attitude. They get rid of negative baggage that holds them back. They believe in themselves, giving others cause to believe in them." - Stedman Graham, (You Can Make It Happen: A Nine-Step Plan For Success)

So it doesn't take being the smartest one with the highest grades. You don't have to have the huge college degree - it helps though - but having all of these things is nothing without attitude. So keep trying, go that extra amount and see what happens. Good things can only come your way.

It may be a day or two in between while I'm gone...but stick with me. Together we'll get your life moving towards its potential.
