SHIFT - Be In It to Win It

As I look around the world, there is a gravitational pull to be average, common, just plain ole regular. The reality is that anyone and anything that has made an impact or left an undeniable imprint refused to be ordinary. The longer I live and the more I travel, I see men and women playing it safe and living beneath their potential. I observe people with unbelievable gifts, raw ability, and uncommon talents who settle for what life has given to them instead of striving for who they were meant to be.

Oftentimes people show up to a place of work to collect a check. However, people who show up to shift the conversation, shift market share, shift the thinking, and shift results are the ones who are promoted and have a seat at the table. If you are not shifting how you do what you do, then you will be shifted. How do I know? It happened to me. Now is the moment and now is the time to stand up and SHIFT or be shifted! There is no room for average thinking, average living and average results. Kick butt or be kicked in the butt as the door hits you on your way out.

Beware of distractions. Turn the negative news off. It’s a distraction. Turn off the flow of gloom and doom; it’s a distraction that is keeping you off-center and off-kilter because negative input + good person = negative results. Focus on what you can control and what you can change. Resist the ADD (attention deficit disorder) tendencies and finish what is in front of you. You will win as you SHIFT.
