Most of us are starting the week off with intentionality, especially if you are readers of this blog. This week will bring successes and it will bring issues that need to be overcome. Let’s be proactive.
Think about the issues you have in your personal life, your family life and your work life. Scribble them down on a scrap piece of paper. Not every issue, mind you, but the current issues. Some examples might include, “my car needs a new battery; my daughter is sick; I need to have a serious talk with ____.” You get the point.
Once you have done that I want you to do what Dr. Henry Cloud suggested in his best-selling book, Integrity. Picture these issues as an ocean wave heading directly toward you. Wave after wave of these issues. Instead of running away from the wave, I want you to picture yourself leaning in toward them. When you run, you get swept up. When you face them and head into them you will get through them quicker.
Take 3 minutes to prioritize this in your life today. Make a plan to address the issues, put an action step towards them and face them with courage.
Lean in to Win!
