When you are doing what you are doing, who are you being?  Are you being impatient & bored, or are you being world famous?  You are going to act differently if you are being world famous.
There is something I know about you that you may not even know about yourself.  You have within you more resources of energy than have ever been tapped,  more talent than have ever been exploited,  more strength than has ever been tested,  and more to give than you have ever given. If your clock is unwound, you can wind it up again

You build it out of your own past, out of your affections & loyalties, out of your experiences of, out of your own talent & understanding, out of the things & people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something. Meaning!

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Be present: to be present for co-workers and subordinates Make their day: Making someone’s day by taking initiative to solve their problems. Play: Enjoying your work Choose your attitude: about how people show up for their work.
  • #16 The ingredients to build Meaning: 1. You are the only one who can put them together into that pattern that will be your life. 2. Let it be a life that has dignity & meaning for you. 3. If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less account.
