Leaders Are Those Who Empower Others

Leaders Are Those Who Empower Others

“Leaders will be those who empower others. Empowering

leadership means bringing  out the energy and

capabilities people have and getting them

to work together in a way they

wouldn’t do otherwise.”

Bill Gates, Co-Founder of Microsoft

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Leaders are those who empower others

Empowerment of others creates a sense of ownership in what the person is doing. It will ignite their personal energy . . . . and pride to excel. Empowerment will elevate the level of a person, in their thinking, stretch their capabilities . . . . and will bring out the best in the person.

When you empower another person your showing that we have confidence in them . . . . and in their ability to successfully get the job done. Empowerment is also showing that you trust the person . . . . and their judgment to make the right choices.

People who are empowered will find a way to get the job done . . . . and will work together to accomplish their objectives. They also will experience personal growth . . . . and you will be rewarded with a dedicated and productive person working with you.

An empowered person will work longer . . . . and harder to achieve success through a sense a personal responsibility.

Leaders are those who empower others . . . . You’ll find that the empowered person become more productive . . . . and will accomplish far more as a results of being trusted and empowered.

The Key is to Define Your Goals . . . .

Your Self-Image Controls Your Results

Your Self-Image Controls Your Results

“Your self-image controls your performance; see yourself

as confident and in complete control.”

Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker  

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your self-image controls your results

I believe I can . . . .

I believe I will . . . .

I believe that I will succeed . . . .

I believe in me and in my ability . . . .

What you believe is embedded in your self-image . . . .  what you do . . . . and what you accomplish is a result of how you see yourselves in your self-image.

When you believe in yourself you can accomplish miracles. Where you lack a positive self-image very little becomes possible.

See yourself as the person that you want to be. See yourself enjoying the benefits of your success . . . . and living the life of that successful person. Paint that picture in your mind in bright colors so as you think about your future . . . . you so see it in brilliant colors.

Believe that you can control your results . . . . and be the person that you see in your thoughts . . . . and take massive actions to make it become a reality.

The first results of anything that you believe, is in your thoughts. You control your thoughts  . . . . and you control your outcome.

Your self-image controls your results  . . . . When you control your results you control your life and destiny.

Choose the People You Associate With Carefully

Choose the People You Associate With Carefully  

“Ignore people who tell you can’t

or try to discourage you.”

Jeffrey Gitomer, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker     

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Choose the people you associate with carefully

As we travel the path of success journey we will encounter people along the way that will like to see us fail. There the ones that tries to rain on our parade, dampen our spirits . . . . and tell us that we shouldn't try. They are also the people that tell us what we can’t do.

They seem so sincere that they don’t want to see us hurt or disappointed that they want to protect us from failure.

Those people are neither there to help you . . . . or protect you they are there to create a mental roadblock for you . . . .  They’re the people who will hinder you on your success journey.

They are the people stuck in the status quo of their life . . . . and can’t stand to see anyone succeed. They try to create a mental road block in your thinking . . . . and to keep you locked in place.

One of their greatest fears is to see people succeed . . . . and they will do everything within their power to attempt to hold a person back . . . . and keep them from succeeding.

You have to recognize those people for who they are . . . . and what they are trying to accomplish . . . . and disassociate from them.

Choose the people you associate wisely . . . .  choose the people to associate with that will mentor you . . . .  Encourage you . . . . and be there to offer you a helping hand when it’s needed.

You will be judged by the people that you associate with. Those associations will have a major impact on the direction that your life and career takes and the level of the success that you achieve.

Choose the people you associate carefully . . . . for you will become a reflection of the people that you associate with.

As Rain Drops Erodes Solid Rock

As Rain Drops Erodes Solid Rock

“The drops of rain make a hole in the stone

not by violence, but by oft falling.”

Lucretius 99 BC – 55 AD, Roman Poet and Philosopher    

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

As rain drops erodes solid rock

Drops of rain are like the moments in our life.

As your moments in your life pass; you don’t think much about them or how we use them. Why? Because there will be many more of them for you to experience.

As a drop of rain falls . . . . they become lost with along with the many other drops of rain that fall with it.

When your moments in your life are combined in positive undertakings the moments accumulate . . . . and returns value to you. The more productive you make your moments the higher rate of return those moments return to you.

When a drop of rain falls . . . . and is combined with many more they can erode the face of a mountain . . . .  cut a hole in stone. Rain drops can accumulate to create a stream that becomes the head of a mighty river.

There is power . . . . in a rain drop  and in a moment in your life.

In your moments you build the skills to change your life . . . .  to become a leader in your profession . . . . and to accomplish great things.

Success is not produced in a vacuum . . . .  it created in the moments of your life that you direct towards your goals, in productive activities . . . . and in planning your future.    

The moments in your life are important . . . . Anyone of them can be the moment that you change the direction of your future and that creates greater levels of success . . . . and where you find personal happiness.

The moments in your life are like drops of rain they may come down hard . . . . or they may fall gently. But when everything is said and done the moments in your lives make you who we are.

May the drops of rain fall gently into your life and may your moments become productive and supply the fuel for a positive success journey.

As rain drops will erode solid rock . . . . they will erode your obstacles.

Going in the Right Direction is a Choice

Motivational Power Quote

Going in the Right Direction is a Choice

“Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction

and you will not have to worry about your feet.”

Anonymous    

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Going in the right direction is a choice

There are a number of directions that you can choose for your life.

You can choose to have someone set the course and direction for your life . . . . and surrender your choices to another person. Or you can decide to be in control of your life . . . . and the direction that your life takes by making the choice of being in control of your life.

The first choice is you have to make a choice. Without that choice you will have no clear direction or focus for your life . . . . and you will spend a lifetime drifting without a purpose.

Define your future . . . . know in what direction that you want your life to take you. What you want to achieve . . . . and make the choice and commitment to the actions that will be required to accomplish your goals and dreams.

What you do is a choice . . . . you can make the proactive choices to control the direction of your life or to take what life gives you.

You know in your minds what you want to accomplish. But your mind can send us mixed messages one telling you to move forward and one cautioning you not to take risks or to step out of your comfort zone.

You know in your mind what direction you want your life to take you and in your hearts that it the right choice. You have to leave the fear behind you of moving out of your comfort zone and leave your fear at the curb. Point your feet in the right direction and take the first step in the direction that you want your life to take you.   

Going in the right direction is a choice . . . . a choice of living the life you were meant to life and following your dreams to achieve your goals.
