ACCOUNTABILITY

This lesson hit me hard today, and when something shakes my foundation, I feel compelled to share it with you!

I consider myself to be very driven, successful, and passionate about what I do and how I do it. However, just when I was about to settle down and pat myself on the back, came along and said “get up mo********er, you aren’t done the work!” And he was RIGHT.

Andy sent a blog today with a challenge. The challenge is, next time you let that voice in your head say “you’ve done enough” or “you can do it tomorrow, just relax!”- you don’t relax.

You do the opposite.

Not only do you get done what you intended to do, you add one more step. One extra push. Another task. Surprise yourself. Be even MORE productive than you planned on being that day.

Here’s the cool part:

It’s not a punishment.

It’s a victory. You are always capable of more than you think you are. Ask , he’ll tell you just how much. When you think you’re done, you aren’t even half way done.

So, thanks for reading. This challenge is to myself today. I’ll be sure to share with you guys what happens next. In the meantime, I’d also love to hear how you are pushing yourself!

RELATIONSHIPS

Your relationships will flourish in ways you may not yet have experienced, if you have not developed the habit of asking to truly listen.

When you ask someone "how was your day?" or "How are you?" Are you truly wanting to know, or are you wanting to just tell them your answer?

Practice asking someone about their well-being and DON'T RESPOND until they have given you a thorough explanation. Then, only respond with your thoughts on their answer!
