- 6. Mantras “Do not do less than necessary, nor the bare minimum needed. Do more than was ever expected” “Do not allow a situation to automatically dictate your actions” When facing a challenge: “There’s no dark that can overcome a flame” “I will not allow anyone to be responsible for my emotions”
- 7. Attitude Gratitude is critical. View challenging or difficult situations as a positive, as an opportunity find solutions and to better prepare for success. When facing a challenge, ask the questions: “What is the purpose of this for me?” “What can I accomplish?” Never allow difficulty to get in the way of a positive attitude. Challenges should prompt determination to succeed or to solve a problem(s) rather than frustration, anger, or a sense of defeat. Don’t focus on the problem itself, focus on the solutions. Think of difficult situations or people as motivators rather than an annoyance, frustration, or an enemy to fight. Remember to view obstacles as an opportunity to seek better solutions. Each new day is a new opportunity. Positivity is waking up with enthusiasm for the day ahead. Expectations should never be based on assumptions or random desires, but on facts, available resources, and a realistic view of one’s capacity to effect results. Reality is the arbiter, not one’s wishes.
- 8. Concern for or acceptance of the perceptions or opinions of others should never influence one’s choices or decisions. Feelings about or perceptions OF the immediate situation or problem should not dictate choices and decisions. Think before you act. Evaluate instead the available options, resources and solutions. Take advantage of each opportunity. Don’t hesitate.
- 9. Effective communication and conflict resolution Conversations should be focused on communicating ideas rather than voicing complaints. When working with others it is the project and the solutions which are critical, not the various personalities. Disagreements should never be viewed as a personal threat or chance to get one’s way but rather opportunities to find positive solutions. Relationships are between individuals. Each has his or her own roles, lives and values. Respect and honor this. Defensiveness always builds resentment and frustration, creating negative perceptions. Avoid unrealistic expectations and avoid assumptions. Key to relationship building, effective communication and, where needed, conflict resolution is a shared concern for and respect of the opinions and interests of others. Well chosen, respectful words and actions help facilitate effective communications. Over emphasis on personal reward, receiving credit, or laying blame is counter productive to achieving results.
