THE BALANCE OF "I" AND "WE"



Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

Success is always an “AND”, integrating two competing things into our lives…and one of those is “I” and “We”. Success requires both: It’s about developing ourselves to be the best we can be, and then working with others and combining their talents to achieve goals (both ours and theirs).

PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

There’s a great way to define commitment…"It’s being prepared to do whatever it takes". As with everything in life, there are circumstances that come up that we never expected, or even prepared for. People with commitment find a way to still deliver, and never take the easy excuse.

CHOOSE TO VERSUS HAVE TO

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

A quick check on the quality of your life can be done by evaluating your "choose to" versus "have to" ratio. In every life there are both…however, the people with the happiest and most successful lives are able to CHOOSE TO far more often than "have to".

SHOWS IN OUR BEHAVIOURS

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

People often say to others…"I wish I could tell what you are thinking". You know, we can’t read their minds, but we can observe their behaviours; (and how people behave reveals what they are thinking).

APOLOGISE WITHOUT A BUT

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

You hear it often…with people apologising to you and adding to the apology but… By adding the "but", they are really saying to you that their apology is not really sincere, and it’s just a couple of words said as sort of an obligation. Have you ever noticed that "but’s" are not part of a successful person’s vocabulary.

PERSEVERE IN THE FACE OF OBSTACLES

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

In everything we set out to achieve, there will always be obstacles, and often the obstacles are proportion to the size of what we are aiming to achieve. The successful always persevere, and know that is always just "when", not "if", that they will achieve it.

CHANGE STARTS HERE, NOT OUT THERE

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

All change in our lives is really driven by us, not others. We often say to ourselves "if only they would…";. However, have you ever noticed that successful people say this comment less than others or even not at all. They take 100% responsibility for your life, and know that change starts here – with themselves and not others.

PREPARATION FEEDS CONFIDENCE

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

Confidence is really both an attitude and a feeling. The people with high confidence understand that it just doesn’t happen by itself, but it must be developed and maintained. Confidence is developed and maintained faster by people who do their preparation. It helps them to feel confident and ACT "in the moment".

THE DANGER OF ALMOST DONE

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

How many times have your heard people say – I’m almost done? There’s a real danger in almost done as people seem to always put off that last remaining action to complete it. Successful people avoid that phrase, and simply say – it will be done on… Eliminate "almost done" from your life to get more done in your life.
