One True Friend

One True Friend

“False friends are like our shadow, close to us while we

walk in the sunshine, but  leaving us the instant we

cross into the shade.”

Christian Nestee Bovee 1820 – 1904, New York Writer

As I see it . . . . . . .

One true friend

A true friend will walk with you . . . . on a sunny day.

A true friend will walk with you . . . . on the cloudy days in your life.

A true friend will offer you there hand . . . . when you slip.

A true friend will be there . . . . catch you when you fall.

A true friend will . . . . not get in your way.

A true friend will be there . . . . when you get off track.

Thousands of people come in and out of your life . . .  but it’s the one true friend that makes the difference.

Looking in The Wrong Places

Motivational Power Quote

Looking in The Wrong Places

“Forget about all the reasons why something may not work.

You only need to find one good reason why it will.”

 Dr. Robert Anthony, author             

As I see it . . . . . . .

Looking in the wrong places  

It’s easy to give all the reason why something is not working or can’t be done and it’s seems that I sit in those meeting almost every week.

The focus of the meeting is on why something is not working or can’t be done and the longer the meeting goes on the more off track the meeting becomes. They are getting off track because they are focusing on the condition and not the solution.

The reason something is not working is the symptom of the condition not the cure.

We have to understand why something is not working and the focus has to be on how to best correct the condition.  

Three simple steps to follow when something is not working is to:

1.     Diagnose and indentify the condition that’s causing the condition.

2.     Prescribe and recommend the best way to treat the condition and correct it.

3.     Treat the condition to resolve the condition.

Looking in the wrong places will get you off track and waste a lot of time and energy. Looking in the right places with focus on finding solutions and become a productive use of your time.

Blaming Will Not Change The Conditions

Motivational Power Quote

Blaming Will Not Change The Conditions

“All blame is a waste of time.

No matter how much fault you find with another,

and regardless of how much you blame him,

it will not change you”

 Dr. Wayne Dyer, Author, Professional Speaker       

As I see it . . . . . . .

Blaming will not change the conditions

When something goes wrong . . . . we have to get down to the reason that the things got off track. Once we find it our job is to get things back on track.

Blaming won’t correct the conditions accountable will lead you to the reason for the conditions. Based on your finding you will have to determine the corrective measures that will be required to correct the conditions and keep it from reoccurring in the future.

When we get involved in the blame game it takes you down the wrong path, drains your energy and wastes a lot of time. Blaming can become very distracting and costly it will also take your eyes off of the solutions.

Blaming will not change the conditions proactively addressing the conditions will.
