Aim Above The Mark!

It is Always Important to Aim Above the Mark in order to reach the Mark.

“We aim above the mark to hit the mark.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.”–Henry David Thoreau

“In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.”–Henry David Thoreau

It has been duly noted that ‘Change’ is difficult for most people. Many times it seems that our entire identity is wrapped up in that which we’d learned as children.  Even as adults we tend to believe that the things learned in childhood will continue to work for us when dealing with people, allowing us to survive, thrive as well as, fit in.

At the same time there are those people who have had to learn to thrive while in the midst of change and have had to learn to be adaptable by being open to new ideas while embracing change, yet, many others have had to fight for survival and every table-scrap that came their way. Behavior is learned and it takes ‘work’ to unlearn and dismantle these old beliefs.

The truth of the matter is that a win-win is always possible. Once you are able to see beyond your ego and recognize that abundance is available, as well as, people, minds, and ideas can come together and create amazing changes that improve the current scenarios for many, many people.

“Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.”–Aristotle

When you work with people who have an abundant and generous attitude, you are uplifted, the team soars, and amazing energy and creativity is unleashed.  

But, at the same time this type of attitude will be much harder to sustain, and  elevate within others when you encounter individuals driven by the mindset of scarcity and competition.

People such as Steve Jobs who are visionaries, have sought to bring about such mind shifts in society and in business.

Aim Above The Mark:  It is often better to take the high road.

This isn’t about judging others as wrong or seeing yourself as better than others. It is about recognizing your own truth as to how you wish to BE in the world.

Never compromise your integrity. 
Never get caught up in the competition. 
Always see the vision, see the outcome, and feel the purpose and passion you’re driven to offer the world, then give it freely. We will all die. You will not take anything from this life with you. So therefore, give what you have to offer the world. What is not given will be lost forever.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”–David Frost

If it is your goal to truly bring about positive change and serve others, then how it will be accomplished becomes less important and seeing it accomplished becomes more important.

Though it may be a blow to your ego when others criticize your inspiration, or someone takes the credit for something you’ve introduced, holding fast to the benefits for everyone will often soften the sting.  It is important to pick and choose those places where you’ll offer yourself.  The key will be to evaluate whether it is serving a common good.

When you’re getting compensated for your contributions, an attitude of gratitude will serve to your spirit, peace. However, if you continually feel abused and stomped on, maybe it’s time to move on to a more collaborative team, as well as,  a more receptive and appreciative audience.

Knowing that you are accomplishing your purpose and living your passion will be your reward.  In time, it will be recognized.

Impostors will eventually be seen and heart & soul will always outlast the mind & ego.

Along the way, through the journey, that is your life and career, you will need to hold fast to the true inner qualities and nature of the brilliance that is YOU. Never allow these negative experiences to become something that undermines your value.  You are not the negative experience!  Many times, the negativity we experience from others, is more a reflection of them and less about who you are.

Since we all have different lenses, different gifts, different wiring, and different experiences. Difference will not be something to be judged, it is a gift of diversity that brings the pieces of the puzzle of life together and creates a society, a solution, a technology, etc., together for the benefit of us all.

Aim Above the Mark and never doubt yourself when others cannot see the vision you see. Remain true to yourself, keep your intentions high being filled with integrity and ethics, and the transition will be that you will attract the right support, the right people, and the right opportunities. Lower the ego and Aim Above the Mark of the vision.

“An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.”–Robert Louis Stevenson

Your Attitude Always Determines Your Altitude

Having a Positive Attitude makes it possible for you to excel to a higher Altitude.

“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.” –Zig Ziglar

It is important to know that your attitude will always determine your altitude, whether it is in business or in life.  Also realize that it is impossible to change someone else’s attitude for them.    Our attitudes come from making choice decisions.

“Our life is what our thoughts make it”. –Marcus Aurelius

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” –Winston Churchill

“Yes, if we think happy thoughts, we will be happy.   If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable. If we think fear thoughts, we will be fearful. If we think sickly thoughts we probably will be ill. If we think failure, we will certainly fail. If we wallow in self-pity, everyone will want to shun us and avoid us”. –Dale Carnegie

Reality can be changed dramatically by a single thought.  Our mental attitude, which is the power which we hold in our heads can be set to Positive or Negative.

A Positive Mental Attitude in Leadership:

When it comes to  leadership, it’s more likely  that you are what you think.  It’s important to realize that  outside influences don’t usually determine your happiness or success.  It’s how we react to those influences – good or bad which determine our happiness or success.   We have the ability to change how we react to any outside forces?

Make sure that how you react to any situation is a conscious priority; which means practice daily.

1.  Humor is vital.

When things don’t seem to be going your way, learn to keep everything in perspective and relax. Laugh out loud or just throw up your hands with a smile on your face.

2.  Having positive self-confident feelings will  help you achieve more.

People are drawn to others who have an upbeat outlook, who have a can-do attitude. They will also make others want to be associated with you.  Why?  Because people are drawn to others who have an upbeat outlook and possess a can-do attitude.

Inspiring Others To Create Success And Happiness

Inspiring Others To Create Success And Happiness will help you find fulfillment and achievement of Purpose.

“Happiness” is essentially a state of going somewhere wholeheartedly.” –W H Sheldon

The Purpose is the gearing up of your own life through the concept of change, encouragement, inspiration and dedication to the building up others and helping to take them to a new level of achievement.  Success leaves clues.

Create Success and Happiness from creating A New Beginning.

“Any time you stop striving to get better, you’re bound to get worse.” —  Pat Riley

There are few things in the world that feel as good as achieving a level of success. While you may already be there, you can benefit a great deal from inspiring others to create success of their own. No matter what background you have or what it is you are good at, you have a lot to offer others who could use a little bit of inspiration to become motivated to take action steps towards creating success of their own.

Think about where you were before you became successful. The chances are very good that you were inspired by someone in your life that made you want to go out and achieve all of your goals. By them inspiring others to create success, you were able to look towards your dreams and work at all of your goals until you too became successful in some way. Without that added push, you may have never gone out to chase after your dreams.

If you are hoping to start inspiring others to create success, you should know that you can take a little bit of effort and make it go a long way. Whether it is giving a young person a few hours of your time to guide them into a new business venture or you talk with someone on a social media site about going back to school to get their degree, you can inspire with little effort. It is all a matter of the way that you talk with others to let them know that they can be everything or anything that they desire to be as long as they fully believe in themselves.

“Getting off the tiger of change is not feasible.  Tiger -riding lessons are necessary…”–John D Adams, Ph.D.

Success requires preparation.

In inspiring others to create success it’s imperative that you let them know that they must march towards their vision by acquiring balance in their physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual lives.  They also have to learn how to deal with the ups and downs, learn patience, forgiveness, as well as, have a sense of humor.

Let them know that they will have to realize that both pain and pleasure can provide positive stress.  Allow the pain of being in a rut to push through to positive change.  They will succeed because they won’t want to actually experience the pain which comes from failure.

“The key to success is reaching out, extending yourself, striking, and then, if you fail, bouncing back and doing it again — being so resourceful that finally when the moment comes again you won’t hesitate.” –Bill Walsh

Of course, there is a lot to be said about inspiring others to create success, this meaning you too will find more inspiration for yourself along the way. It is through the actions of others that we can make ourselves better people. If you can share some inspiration with others which will help them create success and happiness, you will  have it come back to you in abundance and overflow.
