Remain Composed Under Pressure

Remain Composed Under Pressure

“Pressure makes diamonds.”

General George Patton 1885- 1945, General U.S. Army

As I see it . . . . . . .

Remain composed under pressure 

We are very much like a diamond . . . . and our true self will be molded under the pressures in life.

At one time or another we will come under some form of pressure some being very intense . . . . and some just in passing.

Your life will be formed under intense pressure. How you handle the intense pressures in your life . . . .  and how you work your way through those intense pressures will determine who you become . . . . and how high you’ll soar.

Being composed in any situation . . . . creates a strategic advantage in your personal life and in your career.

Remain composed under pressure . . . . and you will remain in control of your emotions. You will also make far better decisions in controlling the outcome . . . . and in achieving your goals.

A Commitment to Excellence

Excellence is not a destination . . . . it’s a continued process of getting better until you become the best.

Vince Lombardi, legendary football coach shared the following thoughts “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

Excellence is a life long journey . . . . and that journey starts from where you are today.

Excellence is a process of stretching yourself out of your comfort zone . . . . in into the possibility zone.

Make the commitment of daily incremental personal improvement and each day becomes a stepping stone to achieving that excellence in your life.

When you make a commitment to excellence . . . . and follow through on that commitment you change your life and the foundation for your career.

When Your Standing Still the World Passes You By

When Your Standing Still the World Passes You By

“Don’t be fooled by the calendar.

There are only as many days in the year

that you make use of.”

Charles Richards, Canadian Judge and Politician  

As I see it . . . . . . .

When your standing still the world passes you by

The world will pass you by if you’re content to continue to stay where you’re standing today.

There is no standing still . . . . If you want to make forward progress you have to keep moving in the direction of your goals and objectives.

Complaining about your station in life will not correct any situation that you find yourself in.  When someone is complaining about their conditions they are not making any meaningful progress . . . . and they are making the situation becomes worst.

You choice is your either to keep moving forward . . . . or you’ll falling behind.

Falling behind becomes a slow death spiral of success . . . . there is no standing still. Know the direction that you want to go in . . . . and make steady progress in that direction to achieve your objectives.

Don’t let the world pass you by. Set your course for your success journey and take the steps that will continually move you forward in the direction of achieving your goals and objectives.

When your standing still the world passes you by . . . .

You Either Have It or You Don’t

You Either Have It or You Don’t

You can’t buy it . . . .

If you want it . . . . you have to earn it.

It not a sometime thing . . . .

You can’t turn it off or on . . . .

“Everyone has an invisible hanging from their neck saying

‘make me feel important.’ Never forget this message

when working with people.”

Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics

Everyone wants to feel important

Life is about making other people feel important . . . . and bringing value into their lives.

When you’re with someone, make them feel as if they’re the most important person in the world. The key is to give them your full and complete attention.

The successful people in life and in business will tell that a big part of their success comes through making people feel important . . . . and helping to get them what they want. As you help others attract more of what they want in their life you attract more of what you want into your life.

Making people feel important, makes them feel good about themselves . . . . and in turn you will form a lasting business relationship with them based on rapport, trust and confidence.

The people that you meet are subliminally saying to you . . . . make me feel important and when you do, you positively move their world. Also new doors will open that where once not there for you in the past.
