"IT IS NOT THE WAY THE WIND BLOWS, IT IS HOW YOU SET YOUR SAILS" Unknown
With my war declaration (I declared a war today!) which by the way is going just fine, meaning that I am still winning the battles...LOL I was thinking about the New Year's resolutions and read few posts about them here on Active Rain. There are a lot of questions about what to do, what to cut and how to "get leaner" with budgets etc...To stay or not to stay in real estate? Uncertainty...
The saying that only the strong survive is probably very accurat for the time. All of us need to adjust and adapt to the current economic mess. Regroup and focus on the future. This is a perfect time to get seriously into "the game" - investing in additional education, planning your tasks and putting all of it into action. And that is exactly what I inted to do. As a matter of fact my war started everything! lol...
My Big Boss Gary Keller gave me an amazing tool to deal with the hard times - the book SHIFT. It is an absolute gold mine and a must read. A blue print on how to survive and thrive. He says: Success never comes to a chosen few, but the few who choose. These can be the worst of times; these can be the best of times. You get to choose! Isn't it wickedly simple?
Another thing most of us complained about is lack of time. Well, I was in the same camp for a while.
But lately I "discovered" (after my Mother told me this a thousand times) that all of us get the same amount of time every day. It cannot be bought or stretched ...but it definitely can be controlled.
Michael Masterson says: If I want to be a captain of my soul and the master of my future, I have to be in charge of my time. And the best way to be in charge of my time is to structure my day around a task list that I, and only I , create.
So shift happens! Invest in yourself and buy the book. Trim your unnecessary expenses - "When you are in the hole stop digging" - and set your sails and move at the speed of your need!
What is your take on it?
