Coming up for air....

Attitudeman has been submerged since last post! The day begins at 5:55 as I dash into the car, gym bag/briefcase/suit loaded the night before, arriving downtown at 6:50 for my workout and in the office or headed somewhere by 8:15 . By 6:30 that evening (no use leaving before due to bumper/bumber) I can treck home arriving by 7:15 . I believe this is as good as it is going to get - 13 hours; now looking for sleep by 10:00 (3 waking hours w/ the family - as I am hearing repeatetly). If this is the given reality, and I believe it is, the question becomes "How do I bend the organization/processes/client-team member expectations" so as to not "win the battle and loose the war"? The principal resource NOW is time. How to maximize time availability to accomplish my main behavioral goals: Assist each team member by allocating scheduled precious time, and calling on our clients to create a better awareness of their needs on a global basis. I am sure I have a plethora of financial and structural goals (I can give you 20 in 20 seconds), but I will achieve mostly all of them by focusing on the prior noted behavioral goals - that is the plan anyway!. Anything else will solely be a full reaction to the non-stop assault from every conceivable area. It is my choice how I dedicate my time; either I own it or someone/something will. Stay tuned......

One more thing.....

No one really cares about your opinion, as a matter of fact, your opinion can be more of a negative in effecting the perceptions of others. However, your attitude is a true reflection of your beliefs, which guide your actions and results. Others will "see" the consistency of your actions, and even if they disagree with your assessments, they can not deny your purpose.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude towards life. The longer I live the more I become convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitude is right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for ME.
