Take some action

Tony Robbins is probably the greatest coach in the world. I was listening to one of his videos recently and he was explaining the fundamentals of leadership. This is what they are.

  • See things as they are. Not any better or worse than they are but as they truly are.How often do we spend so much time pondering things rather than doing something about them. So acknowledge, honestly, exactly how things are today. 
  • See things as better than they are - Imagine how things can be. What can make it better? Is it just a matter of thinking differently or focussing on some other aspect of a dilemna. 
  • Take action - do something. The minute you take action things change. While you are busy thinking about your problem you are not taking action. Even positive thoughts will not change your circumstances. Only taking action will change your circumstances. A movement in any direction will change things. 

So today, tomorrow, this week. create a better world for yourself by following theses three steps. And make a way to improve your life. A true leader will either make a way or find one to have a life they love and that serves others as well. 

Happy action taking! 

Til next time

love languages.

Many people will have heard of the 5 love languages as written about by Dr Gary Chapman. Dr Chapman states there are 5 main love languages. These are
  1. Words of affirmation
  2. Acts of service
  3. Gifts
  4. Quality Time
  5. Physical touch.
It doesn't take too much effort to work out which one of these makes you feel great. It may be a combination of two or three but in general, one will be dominant. The trouble is that most of us act in ways to other people that are our preferred 'language'. Skilled communicators, parents, partners and business people learn that the easiest and fastest way to get someone on your side is to speak with them in their language. When interacting with your teenager, why not think about what their love language is. If yours is gifts and theirs is quality time, then gifts won't mean as much to them as time dedicated to just being together. Conversely, if your language is words of affirmation and theirs is physical touch, then if you are telling them how great they are they won't hear it as loudly as if you give them a hug or a pat on the back.
