The power of… ATTITUDE

A young boy dressed as a businessman raises his arm in success as his homemade box car is in first place. Both boys are wearing helmets and goggles.

One of the main success factors is attitude. Not only is attitude a vital component in any and all success one reaps it’s also a powerful contributor to most failures in our lives. In a recent article written by Rev Bob Gass I read the following “How many jobs do people lose every day because… Continue reading The power of… ATTITUDE

The “Gonna” Pitfall

Now that I have reached the age I am, which is eighty-four, and look back over time, I notice there’s been some slippage: I’ve slipped from a do-it-now person to a “gonna” one. I’ve discovered just how many things I was gonna do but never did, and how this “gonna” attitude led from small things… Continue reading The “Gonna” Pitfall

Satisfaction

Rear view of extreme biker standing on top of the cliff. Wears sport clothes, helmet and with backpack. Rocks and a fog around.

I have found that few things compare with the deep satisfaction that comes from a job well done. I’ve also tasted the opposite: at the beginning of my work career I gave half-hearted effort to whatever job I had, and reaped nothing but dissatisfaction and unhappiness with circumstances and self. Listen to what Mohandas Gandhi… Continue reading Satisfaction

Success Demands Change

Success demands growth, and growth of any kind involves change! And if there’s one thing the human being resists, being a creature of habit, it’s change. I am right in this; don’t you agree? No doubt you’ve heard it said and perhaps, at some time or other, have said it yourself: “I just can’t change.”… Continue reading Success Demands Change

Value

Don’t you agree that some words are just more meaningful than others? I think value is one of those words that are just loaded with meaning and that when applied to oneself have powerful impact. If, for instance, you were told by your employer, “Alice, you are of great value to our corporation,” how would… Continue reading Value

The Ultimate Success Strategy

There seems to be a saying in Christian circles that goes something like this: when all else fails, try prayer. Kind of strange, isn’t it, that the most powerful discipline God’s given us—prayer—is all too often treated as a last resort. The only explanation I can think of is that deep down we Christians don’t… Continue reading The Ultimate Success Strategy

An Owner’s Attitude

There is such a thing as an attitude of ownership: an attitude of caring responsibility for property, for a business, or other resources, that typically characterizes the person who owns them. Noticing this, people often ask me which comes first: ownership, or the attitude of an owner? Do you develop the character and attitude of… Continue reading An Owner’s Attitude

The “Want” Trap

Like the lobster who foolishly enters the lobster trap to go for the bait is the “want” person who lets their “want this, want that” appetite rule their behaviour. Both have lost their freedom and will end up being food for someone: the lobster on the plate of a hungry diner, and the “want” person… Continue reading The “Want” Trap

Success for the Day

Have you ever thought about what daily workplace success would look like, or what it would feel like? Imagine coming home day after day from your workplace with that wonderful inner glow that comes from knowing you’ve successfully achieved your goal! To experience this victory feeling on a daily basis, though, you have to first… Continue reading Success for the Day

How to Gain Job Satisfaction

“I won’t put my heart into it until I get a job I like.” You may have heard this said, or perhaps even said it yourself. And if you’re a Christian, you’ll continue to pray for God to give you a job you really like so you can put your heart into it and show… Continue reading How to Gain Job Satisfaction
