Hello Everyone: I really enjoy reading tips from Jon Gordon's e-mail's I receive. This one is on tips for a positive New Year. I hope you enjoy them. 20 TIPS FOR A
POSITIVE NEW YEAR (Updated 2011 Version) 1. Stay Positive. You can listen to the
cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you can know that
with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible. 2. When you wake up in the morning complete the
following statement: My purpose is_______________________. 3. Take a morning walk of gratitude. I call it a
“thank you walk.” It will create a fertile mind ready for success. 4. Instead of being disappointed about where you
are think optimistically about where you are going. 5. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince
and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card. 6. Remember that adversity is not a dead-end but a
detour to a better outcome. 7. Focus on learning, loving, growing and serving.
8. Believe that everything happens for a reason and
expect good things to come out of challenging experiences. 9. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip,
energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot
control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 10. Mentor someone and be mentored by someone. 11. Live with the 3 E's. Energy, Enthusiasm,
Empathy. 12. Remember there’s no substitute for hard work.
13. Zoom Focus. Each day when you wake up in the
morning ask: “What are the three most important things I need to do today that
will help me create the success I desire?” Then tune out all the distractions
and focus on these actions. 14. Implement the www.NoComplainingRule.com. Complaining is like vomiting.
Afterwards you feel better but everyone around you feels sick. 15. Read more books than you did in 2010. I happen
to know of a few good ones. :) 16. Get more sleep. You can’t replace sleep with a
double latte. 17. Focus on “Get to” vs “Have to.” Each day focus
on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift not an
obligation. 18. Each night before you go to bed complete the
following statements:
19. Smile and laugh more. They are natural
anti-depressants. 20. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through
life so make the most of it and enjoy it. -Jon |
