Seeking Approval

 

Seeking Approval

I touched on this a few weeks ago but here are some more thoughts on the problem with being focused on the approval of others … 

·         Edit yourself for approval and you become a minority shareholder in your own life.

·         Aim for accuracy, not approval.

·         It’s better to have the sting of honesty than the blindness of flattery.

·        You cannot be true to yourself while focused on the approval of others.

The Advantage

 

The Advantage

Someone always has an advantage. If you do not know who, it is not you!

Think about it.

Happy Labor Day!

It’s not just about BBQ and the start of football season…

Labor Day: What it Means

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Positive Feedback

 

Positive Feedback

 Are you complimentary when you receive good service?  Do you provide a lift to someone by acknowledging their smile or positive outlook?  You might be surprised by the difference you can make in someone’s day, and their job performance, by simply being complimentary.  When a hotel clerk greets you with a smile and helpful attitude make sure they know you noticed.  When the dry cleaner’s employee is prompt and professional genuinely thank them.  When your dining wait staff is especially efficient give them a compliment and maybe even a larger tip.  People that serve others for a living are often mistreated, do your part to change that.  If they are doing an exceptional job go out of your way to let their boss know.  Positive feedback is a great motivator and can change someone’s day, maybe even their future! 

Pay someone a genuine compliment today and have a blessed week!
