Clarity

Clarity about what matters provides clarity about what does not.   #personaldevelopment   #achievement 

Personal Development

We spend much of our day on autopilot - not giving much thought to how we're spending our time.  This is a problem.  Adopt the habit of pausing before action and asking yourself, "What makes the most sense right now?"   #personaldevelopment

What Will Be Your Legacy?

Action is what matters.  Our actions, not our words, are how we will be judged.  People will forget our words, but not our actions, because seeing is believing.  Our actions in life will be our legacy.  #personaldevelopment  #leadership 

Productivity

Productivity means accomplishing what we intend to.  Being busy doesn't make us productive.  Productivity is not about cramming more into our days but about doing the right thing in each moment.          #productivity   #personaldevelopment

#PersonalDevelopment

We like ideas and people that fit into our world-view, but there is tremendous value in finding room for those that don't.

Managing Constraints

When you come upon a constraint, instead of thinking, "I can't because," focus instead on how the problem can be solved, beginning every statement with "I can if..."
