Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there’s something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you’re good at—something that’s bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today.
John Maxwell
I believe "honoring" is the foundation of successful living ––the honoring of:
Self
Work
Others
In HONORING SELF. . .we fight against beliefs, ideas, emotions, and fears that work to prevent us from living authentic lives.
In HONORING WORK. . .we set goals, take responsibility, make choices, exert self-discipline, and tackle change.
In HONORING OTHERS. . .we recognize that all life is meeting and so we engage the other in our social and work dealings with care, curiosity, and a readiness to learn.
Through it all, we honor self, work, and the other only when we honor the present, living with self-awareness in the moment.
Something to consider:
1. How openly and comfortably do you honor your life?
2. Which of the three arenas––self, work, others––is it easiest for you to honor?
3. Which is the hardest for you to honor?
4. In which of the three arenas do you have a fire-in-the-belly desire to become more successful?
5. If you were more successful within that arena, how would you act? How would you communicate––with your self and with others?
6. Why are you afraid to act and communicate in the way you believe would allow you to be successful?
7. Acknowledge the fear and THEN practice acting and speaking the way you want to.
