It’s another Magnificent Monday!

Magnificent MondayYou have been blessed to see the start of another glorious week. The slate has been wiped clean (of the good and bad). You have another opportunity to BE MORE and DO BETTER. This week can be your best week ever! Remember, success is just a string of successful weeks tied together.

Here’s a quote that is particularly insightful and motivating:

We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.  ~Anais Nin

THIS WEEK’S TIP: Keep Your Perspective in Check

It is so easy to get caught up in the way we do things that we forget that our way is not the only way of accomplishing a particular goal.  Sometimes, our way is not even the right way for us.  One of my quotes that I use frequently in my presentations is:

“Arrogance not only prevents you from seeing the big picture, it makes you think your view is the big picture.”

Both quotes above are related to the two same points:
(1) You are always seeing things through the filter of your own experiences, values and beliefs.
(2) There is always a bigger picture than what you are seeing or thinking right now.

So, in any situation (whether it be a joyful or stressful one), remember that your view of a situation is just one way of viewing that situation and that there is always more to the situation than what you’re seeing at the moment.

THIS WEEK’S AFFIRMATION: I will remember that my perspective is part of a larger world in which everyone’s perspective serves an important role.

Until next Monday, expect the best FROM and FOR yourself!

Profitably yours,

    Thanks Sherrin,
    This was an important message to me right now. Working on my first book, I need to make sure that my take is expressed but not as being the only way or solution to things. Thanks for this great insight.
    Cheers, Smiles, Laughs and Success,

    This is something to really think about!

The "Can't Stop Thinking" Blog
is Where I Get a Little More Casual

... In my work as a strategic planning and strategic thinking expert and motivational business speaker, I'm sometimes not able to comment on what I care about because I'm focused on the needs of my clients and audiences. "Can't Stop Thinking" is where all my worlds come together and I offer straight talk on issues, ideas and random thoughts that I can't stop thinking about ... the stuff that matters to me (and maybe to you too) ...
