Leadership’s Future: Thanksgiving Thoughts
November 26, 2009 by Miki Saxon
What do you talk about in your life?
What do you go to bed thinking about; what dominates your dreams; what do you ponder during the day?
Your aches and pains; the gray hair you found; the new outfit you bought, but aren’t sure is right?
Do you dwell on the words or email that may be a slight—or not?
The colleague you’re not sure likes you; the boss who seems OK, but…?
It’s more than a matter of the glass being half full or half empty.
Like the dog that worries a bone, constantly thinking and talking about anything focuses you on it; prioritizes it and makes it paramount until it dominates all other thoughts.
Focus works in both directions—it can launch you to the heights or toss you into a dungeon of doom—taking your family and friends with you.
Most importantly…
Focus is a choice.
Choose wisely.
I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and a bountiful life.
