I think it’s safe to say that we all want to be at our best, I know I want to be my best. It takes a conscious effort to do that. Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) had a great post that got me zeroed in on this. He shared this thought: “No one ever became their best by focusing on someone else’s flaws. Look for the best in others.” At times I will focus my attention towards others flaws. Blaming them for things, getting upset about it, etc. I’m learning that it makes much better use of my time and mental well-being to focus on improving my own flaws (which are many) compared to worrying about what others are doing wrong. I think the world (especially our own little part of it), would be a lot better if we took this to heart. Thanks for listening.

Found a very eye-opening post that hit me - not just because I love basketball, as basketball (sports in general) have nothing to do with this one - but I simply love the term that was used here. I found this from Ball is Psych (@BallisPsych) “Michael Jordan was once asked what he thought his best skill was. He didn’t say it was his ability to dunk from the free throw line or his scoring ability. His answer: “I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.” The easier you are to lead, the further you’ll go.” I see it as being about how we can approach the things in our lives that we get fired up over. I know I need to get more "aggressive" when it comes to my learning of the things that fire me up about my life. How about you? It really comes down to investing in yourself so you can lead yourself!

Saw this post and it helped me tremendously at the moment I needed to see it. Just kind of got off into a bit of a rut this morning as I ran some errands. I caught my focus going in directions that were not good for me. Negativity, things that were bringing me down, etc. Sam Crowley says it a lot, where our focus goes - that’s where our energy flows!! I’m glad I realized I had to stop it. Having intentional focus (as Ben Newman talks about a lot) came back into focus for me. So, about this post… it came from Christine Bemis (@ChristineBemis2) and she shared a quote from Hans F. Hansen who said: “People inspire you or drain you - pick them wisely.” I could see in a little bit of reflection that I was letting my focus go to people and things that I could not control first of all, but I was also letting those things bring me down. Thankfully, at least for the moment, I remembered about controlling my response to things. I simply need to keep doing that in a positive way. How about you? What do you do when these types of things hit you?? Thanks for listening.
