We all have choices. However, not all of us make the best choices. It’s easier to get sucked into criticizing others. It’s harder to just focus on improving ourselves. Which of the two is the best use of your time? Do you spend more time criticizing others or improving yourself?

Check out the people around you. When something goes wrong, do they raise their hand and take accountability? Most will try to pin it to someone else. You cannot succeed in life unless you take full accountability for your actions and decisions. How about you? Do you point fingers or do you take accountability for your actions?

The first touchpoint of your customers are your employees. The way your employees feel can be seen and felt by your customers. Care for your employees first. They will, in turn, genuinely care about your customers. How about you? Do you love the company you work for?

As we grow older and meet up with old friends, we often talk about the glory days of the past. Some of us are stuck in the past. We cannot move forward with our eyes looking backward. How about you? Do you spend too much time looking backwards?

Challenges will always be a part of our life. They come and they go. Often, opportunities comes disguised as a challenge. If you have a growth mindset, you will see the opportunity. If you have a fixed mindset, you will only see the challenge. How about you? Can you find opportunities hidden inside difficult times?

Being smart does not guaranty success. You can be the smartest person in the room and be the least successful. The power of knowledge comes from application. How about you? Do you apply what you learn?

We all have negative people around us. Unfortunately, some of them are related to us. Just understand that negative people are unhappy.

Negative people want others to join them. My suggestion, have minimal exposure to negative people. Don’t expose yourself long enough that they drain your energy and optimism.

How about you? Do you keep your distance from pessimists?

Understand the pessimists around you. Understand them and keep your distance. #positivity #optimistic #staypositive #stayoptimistic #jordan

Have you ever noticed that when you speak, you are distracting your listening senses?

Have you ever learned anything new when talking? If you want to learn, you need to listen.

How about you? Do you truly listen?

One behavior found in people that get ahead is that they intentionally try to make the best use of their time.

They are careful in what they do and what they say ‘yes’ to.

How about you? Do you make the best use of your time?

The know-it-alls. Some people try to get our attention by showing us what they know. They jump into conversations sharing what they know.

I always wonder how they will learn new things if they think they know it all. I wonder if they understand why some people avoid them.

How about you? Do you avoid know-it-alls?
