When You Stay Composed

When You Stay Composed

concentrate and how to maintain composure.”

Byron Nelson, Professional Golfer

As I see it . . . . . . . .

When stay composed

Regardless of what is going on around you stay composed . . . . and stay in control of your circumstances. Winners look like a winner when they remain composed.

When you’re composed . . . . your thinking becomes clear . . . . and your thinking is focused on finding answers . . . . and making good decisions. When you lose control of your emotions . . . . your thinking becomes clouded and reactive leading to bad decisions and regret.

When you’re composed . . . . Others see you as being strong in character . . . .  and in control of your emotions and the situation.

No matter what your circumstances are always remain composed. Stay in control of the situation . . . . and find a way to accomplish your objectives.

To control the direction of your life and your career path, you’ll have to know where you’re going . . . . and how you’re going to get there. The road map for a successful career is in having written goals . . . .and using your goals to guild your success journey.

You have to have the courage to indentify your goals, to create your purpose . . . . and to determine the direction that you want your life to take. You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone . . . . and into the future with confidence.

The moment that you make those choices you have began to start to take control of the direction of your life . . . . and for the results of your success journey.

“The possibilities are numerous

Once we decide to act and not react.”

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t react . . . . Act with a purpose

Your future is a blank canvass . . . . that only you can paint.

To paint the canvass with your future you have to a vision for what you want your future be. We then will have to act on our vision to make it become what we believe it can be.

There are only two ways that the canvass of your life can be painted. You can take control of your life and act on determining your future . . . .  and to start to paint your canvass as you want to see that future. Or you can decide to live a reactive life and have someone else paint the canvass of your life for you, as they see your life.

The choice is simple to act to control your future . . . . or to reactive and have someone else decide your life for you.

Create a grand vision for your life . . . . and act on the vision of what you want your life to be.

See your life as a blank canvass . . . . and use your imagination to paint your future. Remember it’s your bush . . . . it’s your canvass . . . .  it’s your life . . . . it’s your paint . . . . and it can be anything that you want it to be.

Believe in the possibility for your future . . . . because for what you believe you can make come true.

“There is no failure expect, in no longer trying, there is no defeat

expect from within, no insurmountable barrier except our

own inherent weakness of purpose.”

There is ALWAYS a Way

There is ALWAYS a Way

“No matter how frustrated you may feel, there is ALWAYS a way

out. In every situation that arises, we choose to be powerful or

powerless. It may not always feel like a choice. And there

are consequences for these choices in terms of the results

we get, and the subsequent increase or decrease in our

power and influence. If we chose powerless, it is

often because we doubt there is

any other option.”

Blaine Lee 1946 – 2009, one of the original founders

Of Covey  Leadership Center

As I see it . . . . . . .

There is ALWAYS a way

The first choice in any condition that you find yourself in . . . . is the choice to take control of the condition . . . . Or to allow the condition to take control of you.

When you make the choice to take control of the condition you release your personal power to make the best choices you can with the condition that you find yourself in.

You have the power to make good choices . . . . and to do your best in mitigating the condition successfully.

The key is . . . . there is ALWAYS a way . . . . and when you take control of the condition you put yourself into the position to find it.

If You Don’t Like the Conditions – Change It

If You Don’t Like the Conditions – Change It

“There are two primary choices in life, to accept conditions as

they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.”

As I see it . . . . . . .

If you don’t like the conditions – Change it

You control your choices . . . . You can choose to accept the conditions in your life . . . . and go along with it. Or you can choose to change it.

When you decide to go along with the conditions that you’re not comfortable with . . . . and they will cause a great deal of stress in your life. There is additional side effect of the conditions that drains your energy and lowers your productively.

Take control of the conditions in your life . . . . and you take control of your life and the direction that its headed in.

If you don’t like the conditions – change it . . . . modify it . . . . or get it out of your life. Otherwise your thinking and energy will be focused in the wrong direction and not productive and focused forward.
