Gives you a very simple approach to follow to stay consistently on track. When you break down the actions of the individuals, teams, organizations, or companies they all have prioritized their lives with these attributes.
Attitude
You are in the game of life. You want to be participating in the creation of your reality, there is no good, bad, up, or down. Its accepting that its all happening because you want it to be this way.
You are not over thinking what is happening. You’re accepting what is and learning from it. Taking the learning and simple putting it into good use.
You truly put others first. You lose yourself by focusing on helping others in your life. What fills you up with happiness is putting them on your shoulders and making it easier for them to succeed.
You are a builder of things. You are building a healthy, safe, secure all-encompassing life. Your proactive in your approach to this concept of building things that work in today’s world. These projects add tremendous value. At the center of being this builder is a positive energy. It lifts up, inspires others to want to follow you, no matter how challenging the moment is.
You have a calmness about you, brought on by a knowing. This knowing is a internal communication to yourself that today and every moment of the day is correct. It creates a life that allows you to put one foot in front of the other. You’re not frantically rushing around, reacting with your hair on fire. You’re allowing your life to unfold in front of you. People are amazed because you’re always smiling.
This wonderful feeling of knowing is coming from a physical fueling embedded in every call of your body. This feeling of knowing allows you to be free to create, imagine, and innovate. It puts you in a place that most people can only dream of being. Your knowing gives you the freedom to be you. Your inner energy is on constant display. Attitude is the starting point!
Work Ethic
Work ethic is boring. It goes under most people’s radar. Work ethic brings to everyone’s life the consistency that makes every moment count. This correctly infuses a positive energy of “I’m here, let’s go to work!” It creates many opportunities to go the extra mile. To be the go-to person.
The work ethic I am defining here, manufactures a sense of trust, respect, truthfulness that surrounds you. Your family, friends, peers, managers at work, all know you have this quality about you. Your always open to upgrading your capabilities. This part of a correct work ethic has you open to learning. Learning to upgrade your behavior, skills, capabilities, that evolve you into becoming more valuable every day. As you live this life of having a proper work ethic, you attract the correct teachers and coaches you need to learn from. Look for them and ask them for their knowledge, experience, and wisdom.
Work ethic pulls to you added responsibilities that only a few people are asked to do. Be proud to have this work ethic of showing up every day and giving your all. I promise you it is being noticed.
Self-Accountability
Self-Accountability is the 3rd leg of this stool. Attitude, work ethic all come together when you are 100% accountable in owning all of your life. Self-accountability is extremely difficult to implement. Why because, you must replace excuses with acceptance, victim with hero.
Self-accountability is allowing you to be the artist standing in front of a blank canvas holding an incredible array of colors on your pallet. With your paint brush in hand, you are creating your life’s masterpiece.
Self-accountable individuals are filled with excitement and courage. They stand tall to all challenges that faces them. They know each challenge is a test of how good they really are.
Self-accountable individuals’ actions align with their internal truths. They know that their words are only truthful when they become their actions. They combine their words and actions to define their true reality. IF their words do not align with their actions (their truths) they immediately make the correct behavioral adjustments. This allows them to stay authentic to their true self. Thoughts are the ancestors of all actions!
People who embrace self-accountability always seem to have a great sense of humor. Especially about themselves, they take themselves lightly and can laugh at themselves. They live life as an adventure, laughing, loving, giving, caring, and helping others.
In conclusion, let your attitude, work ethic, self-accountability define who you are to the world and show the world how it’s done. Make these words pillars to build a special life on. I know you will do it!
