Double Helix

What were you born to do?

Are you doing it?

Why not?  Why not now?

What does your boss value?

It sounds so simple – find out what your supervisor, manager and company values and become expert at delivering it.  

You may think you know, but maybe you don’t.  Take the first step – ask.

“What is the best thing that I could do for the company (in this department)?”

“What is the best thing that anyone could do for the company – the result that would be valued most?”

“What could I do that would make you feel I was the most valuable person in the department?”

Go ahead – ask!

New decision – new life.

It’s never too late to decide who you are, and who you are going to be in the world.  We all have beliefs about ourselves; what we are capable of, what we deserve, and what and who we like and don’t like. But we can change them, and make a new decision for ourselves.

In doing so, we can change our lives.

What’s your decision about you? 

Turn Pro Early

At work, when you “Turn Pro”, and become the very best you can be by asking, learning, mastering and applying what is needed to be in the top 5% at the job, you will earn more money, and get more opportunities. What kind of difference can that make in your life?

If you were ever going to start experiencing that kind of difference, what time in your life do you think would be the best time to start?

Imagine what it would be like if…

…you really did it.

Learning Unnecessary Things

When we try new things, we make mistakes and learn things. If we work on things that are not necessary to our ultimate goal, we will learn things that aren’t directly applicable to where we want to be.

But if we go in the right direction early and work on the right things, we will only learn things if they were necessary for us to learn.

Are you working on the right things?

How long will you live?

Be careful with your answer.  Expectations have a curious way of coming true…

Who is good at everything?

Nobody.  So it should not surprise us that we aren’t good at things.  What’s more important is to find and focus on the things we are good at.  

Develop your strengths.

Don't lose sight of the value of what is free.

Air – breathe.  Water – drink.  Beauty – see.  Sounds – hear.  Smiles – give.  Hugs – enjoy.  Love – Experience.

Expanded Association

There are people we should get to know, or people that we know that we should get to know better.  People that inspire us, fill us up, and are sources of knowledge and positive new experiences.

Who should you expand your association with?
