“CTRL -ALT-DELETE!”
Positive behavior modification for your business and personal life!

What are the three buttons we hit on our computer when it gets “locked up”? The answer is NOT 911 to our I.T. department!!

We hit these 3 magical keys in hopes of our computer STARTING OVER and erasing any damage that we could have caused.
I attended a Quest for Personal Leadership Seminar at Whitehead and Associates last year. My eyes were opened to a ton of things about myself that I needed to work on/modify in order to be more productive, content, and successful in my business and personal life. In contemplating what practices I was going to start to put in to play for this to take effect, the following came to my mind.

*****CONTROL***** YOUR THOUGHT PATTERNS
At times it can seem like the world is TOTALLY AGAINST US. The economy and all the change taking place globally can really be a de-motivator if thought upon for too long. Negative/”woe is me” individuals who constantly think that by complaining about a particular situation, it will somehow change. Watching loved ones and friends lose their jobs, their families, and their lives are enough to have you racing to the edge of the nearest bridge and praying the jump won’t be too painful.
CONTROL.
Situations are changing. YOU ARE NOT. You are still the same wonderfully talented, gifted individual. You have the power to create change JUST with your positive attitude and outlook. By your willingness to step up to the plate and not be dragged down, you are creating a ripple effect that will create other successful/positive people around you.
*****ALTER*****YOUR BUSINESS/PERSONAL PLAN
WE ARE WORKING HARDER AND LONGER THAN EVER to make a penny. WHY? We are doing the same thing we did 10 years ago and it doesn’t seem to be working the same way.
ALTER.
Change is tough. We love our comfort zones but now it’s time for a new plan. You were productive once, you can be again. What is the thing/mode of operation you are clinging to that can be let go? Reach out to people around you and shoot ideas back and forth. Different perspectives can be powerful and a creative title wave could ensue if you give yourself the chance to explore new ways of doing things.
*****DELETE*****THE PAST
We all have things that we have failed at. We all can also dwell on those failures and not move forward. We all have been successful on a number of levels. We can dwell on these successes as well and not be open to change.
DELETE.
Stop living in the past. Yesterday is gone, today is today and tomorrow is an opportunity waiting to happen. Always think in a “forward” motion. Always be open to new ideas and ways to do things. Keep your relationships diverse because diversity is always a teacher. Stop beating yourself up and LEARN from your mistakes and be thankful for the opportunity to start fresh. You have what it takes because of who you are!
