Big Success (Part Four)
(This is Part Four of the Big Success series.)
We make choices every day. Some choices don’t make much difference on our future. Do I use Crest toothpaste or Colgate? Use blue ink or black ink? Other choices have greater influence. Do I get out of bed when the alarm goes off or stay in bed? Do I keep my commitment to exercising after work or skip it?
The choices you make every day determine how you feel about yourself, your work, and your life.
Watching the Ramsey Lewis Trio perform was a Bravo moment. And one of the things that it made it so enjoyable was watching the sheer joy the musicians themselves were experiencing. I don’t think anyone in the audience had a better time than the Trio itself that night. You could see it in their eyes, hear it in their laughter, and feel it in your soul. They showed up, fully present and engaged.
Is your life a little boring right now? Why? What can you do to change that?
How are you showing up in the world every day? Kicking the cat or embracing the sunrise? Are you putting in your time to get a paycheck, only to go home and sit in the easy chair in front of the TV for hours? Or are you taking responsibility for your own attitude and spirit—growing, learning, and being grateful for the good things in your life?
When you look back on your week or the month, what emotion wells up inside you?
Boring or Bravo. It’s Your Choice.
