The end of this week
The beginning of a New Year

In life there are overlapping endings and beginnings
happening everywhere
happening every moment

The one constant -
Change

The one thing you have complete control of -
Your attitude!

Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!

Relationship Capital

Relationship capital is the currency of humanity.
It 'feels' better than any bill, coin or check book.

And the compound interest is incredible! ❀

The average child laughs 300 times in the course of a day.
The average adult laughs 15 times.


It's time to strengthen your funny bone!
Drop the drama and lift up your spirits......... ❀

The thick of thin things...

Are you caught in the thick of thin things?


There's a concept Stephen Covey calls “the thick of thin things.”
Are you so busy DOING that you’re forgetting where you’re GOING?
Are you trapped putting out daily fires
that you don’t take time to see the bigger picture?

By the way, how clear is your big picture?
Does your horizon extend beyond today, next week, next month?

Covey uses the example of forest workers.
Hundreds of workers in the forest are busy chopping down trees.
Their manager is happy because they’re producing tons of wood (trees).
On the surface, everything seems to be running smoothly, however,
a great leader won’t be bogged down by the day to day occurrences.
He’ll make time to climb the ladder and look over those thick trees to see the bigger picture, where they’re headed - their vision!

From this lofty perspective, the leader yells out, ‘wrong forest!’

True vision and leadership assures
that their team is headed in the right direction.

On a personal scale, is your vision clear?
Or are you barking up the wrong tree? ❀
