Do you ever get overwhelmed?
I get overwhelmed sometimes too.
Then I take two steps back and evaluate the situation and all that I have to be grateful for.
Then I remind myself that all I have to do is practice what I teach.
- Extreme Ownership- if it’s to be, it’s up to me. As the owner of every situation I find myself in, I have the opportunity to make things better.
- Life is 10% what happens and 90% how I react to what happens to us.
- FOCUS- energy flows where focus goes; I need to calm down and focus my focus on the few things that matter most.
- Circle of concern and circle of control. I need to only focus on the things that matter AND that I can do something about. I need to not allow the things I can’t control to overly concern or distract me. It’s not that these things don’t matter, but that focusing on the things I can control that matter improves not only those things but even the “reality” concerns my relationship to the other things.
- Focus not on the problems but the solutions.
- Take massive focused action on the most important goals. Delegate or delete the rest. Build a great team incessantly!
- The Momentum Theorem: Focused Intensity Over Time, Multiplied by God, equals unstoppable momentum!
Those are a few of my thoughts….
what I remind myself of what I know and what I teach.
Then I pray, deconflict, pray and work!
Sometimes I also write. 😉
