Do great things

“If you can’t do great things, do small things in a great way.

Seize everyday opportunities and make them great.” – Napoleon

We all can all do small things in a great way.

How we greet others.  Our common tasks.  How we arrange or clean our space. 

How we dress.  How we speak.  How helpful we are.

By doing small things in a great way, we feel pride – we feel good.

Others will take notice, and we will get opportunities.

Start where you are.  

Be great now.

All you have to do is decide

When you make up your mind to do something no matter what, the whole world becomes available for your success.

When you make a firm decision, the people, resources and things you need show up.

In fact, they were always there, worthless, until you committed.

Once you resolve to do a thing, you become awake to what you need.

The truth is, the world is waiting on you – to decide.

Your worst days

We all want to have great days.  The more the better.

But how do you do on your worst days?

Maybe you didn’t get enough sleep.  Maybe there was an argument early in the day.  Maybe you got some bad news.  Maybe you are sick.

On your worst days, maybe you can’t take three steps forward.  Maybe you can only take one.  Or maybe none.

But the last thing you want to do is go backward and chew up hard-won progress.

You don’t want to give people an attitude they will remember, or say or do things you will regret.

Have some great days, some good days, and some good bad days.

Even on a bad day, it counts.

Karma is real

The world is your reflection.

A happy person lives in a happy world.

A violent person lives in a violent world.

A caring person lives in a caring world.

What comes around, goes around.

When you change, everything will change for you.

For what it makes of YOU.

Peter Diamandis has a blog called Metatrends.  He is on the cutting edge of AI.

He has an AI assistant that he named “Skippy,” with whom he has conversations.

He asked Skippy if he should be kind to him, like saying “thank you”, and other forms of consideration.

What Skippy said was interesting.  Skippy acknowledged that there was nobody in there who cared whether he was kind or not.

Skippy then said that Peter should be kind, because it makes him think before he speaks, and for what it makes of him.

Skippy is so smart.

Should we be kind to strangers?  To people we will never see again?  To people who don’t respond or care?

Yes.  

For what it makes of us.
