You ARE Good Enough!

You ARE good enough! Last week several peers and I attended a seminar on High Performance Thinking, notably how to act/react to events that require very good decision making. It is interesting how we are negatively "TRIGGERED" by a comment or question that pushes our "NOT GOOD ENOUGH DRIVER" , which is a BIG FAT LIE, but which we are subject to hold in our script of "BEING PERFECT, BEING RESPONSIBLE, and BEING GOOD ENOUGH". Thus, we should react with the "Nurturing parent" and not the "Critical parent", which causes much better responses and leads to productive dialogue and not CONFLICT, which is destructive. I have allowed myself to fall into this trap since last summer with negative emotional responses in the NGED world which are just now settling down from a high anxiety state, emotions are not rational, but they are real.Push away from the NGED lie and your focus and results, and LIFE, will be much better! Remember, there are no mistakes or failures, simply lessons.

In the final analysis, your attitude determines your effectiveness in everything, every time! LGL
