Thinking about…

The “what ifs” that “could have been” can actually be a good thing…

It let’s us view what happened in the past, where we thought we didn’t quite reach up to our potential and allows us to dream up how we could have made it better.

So it’s OK to think about the “what ifs” that “could have been” for a short bit to create the game plan of how to make it better when your next opportunity arises, just remember not to camp there.

Off the Clock?

In observing human behavior, when people go “Off the Clock” or off work if you will, manners seem to drop off the table.

In restaurants, the servers are usually polite and the ones being served don’t seem to say thank you or please as much as they would while working.

Road rage is a prime example of manners slipping while “Off the Clock”.

Remembering that the people who are working while we are not, are the very people which deserve our courtesies…it just may make the world a better place.

Mindful Eating?

Yeah, I’m being mindful of what I eat and boy it’s a challenge…

Congratulations to those of you who have been being more mindful of what you are eating in you daily deluge of too many choices.

With the holidays coming up…it’s gonna be “game on” with the decisions to be made of what goes in.

Just knowing that 100 “extra” calories a day leads to 10 pounds of “extra” weight in a year…helps to change the feeling of “depriving myself” into “my choice”.

Good luck, we all seem to be in the same boat:)

There will never be another you…

We’ve heard it before, with virtually countless generations and billions of people currently on this planet, there will never be another you.
May not be a big deal at a glance, but when we really think about it, if there will never be another you, what are you doing to make your contribution to history?

Better late than never?

Sometimes…but if being late is a habit, then you should probably start adhering to “Better never than late”.

You see, when you have a tendency to be habitually late…you are sending two clear messages:

1. I am more important than you.
2. You are less important than me.

So if that’s the way you want to be perceived, keep being late, and if not, show up a little early and be ready…because your actions always tell the truth.

Yours in – Off to a great start – Coach
