Inner G - Gratitude. He makes a list every morning of gratitude items.
Celebrate yourself - the rest of your life is the best of your life
You'll crash if you focu on your rearview mirror
The best is inside - All success is an inside-out job
It's easy to better your best because your best is based on your past
Your "network" determines your net worth so ask who is mentoring & coaching you
Achieving the Dream = Think=Minds; Believe=Hearts; Do=Action
Power Principle #1 Step-Up Your Attitude
1) Change your thinking change your life - we don't dislike change, we just dislike change that's inconveinient at the time.
2) Crisis = a dangerous opportunity,
3) Applied knowledge is power and information w/o application only leads to frustration.
4) Win/Lose is wrong attitude. Think Win/Learn as we learn through loss.
5) Don't attach negativity to actions of the brain will avoid them
6) Cause vs. Effect. Choice is yours, Just because its happening in the world doesn't mean it will happen in your world, i.e. economic downturn
7) Design vs. Default - Your friends are God's way of apologizing for your family. Put intelligent & goal oriented people in your life on purpose. Put people in your life who aren't satisfied with your present so you will be challenged.
8) Abundance vs. Scarcity - be very careful who you tell your good news with - people who pour ice water on your ideas and aren't happy for you aren't good. Start being more abundant mentally, as you will attract that to yourself. My mind is like fertile farmland. It's only job is to harvest whatever I plant.
9) Honey vs. Kryptonite - all attitudes are contagious. Is your worth catching? Film actor, Denzel Washington (?) when asked which was his best film - My best one is my next one.
Power Principle #2 - Step up your Vision
A vision is something that has you. When you blue sky, what do you see? See something more powerful than what meets the eye. Television tells a lie to your vision, not happy with what you have what have is never enouh.
Power Principle #3 - Step-Up Leadership
Vulture = waiting for negative
Chicken - flies 4 feet off ground only (not an eagle)
Turkey - talk good but do nothing but gobble
Parrot - copy cat and mimic and not original
Eagles - fly alone or with other eagles and odn't sacrifice attitude to fly lower with others
Final Thoughts -
Always do more than you're paid to do - not always moey but your character that is important.
Think Profoundly
Believe Sincerely
Do Consistently
