John Chappelear - Changing The Focus

This has been quite a week. A number of people have sent notes of support and appreciation for these weekly thoughts. A client called to start a new long term project. My agent is pitching a new book proposal this week. My family is happy and healthy. The stock market is down again. Which do you think gets my full attention? Why do I let the few negative things in my life dominate my thoughts?

Positive Thought of the Week

I will not let things that I have no control over negatively affect my thoughts or behavior. I know housing prices and the economic outlook may be frustrating, and even a little depressing, but I can and will focus on what I can do today to make my life better. I will make a gratitude list for all that I have and all that I am. I will keep my thoughts positive, because it is my thoughts that create my experiences. I will watch my thoughts, they can take me anywhere I let them.

Business Thought of the Week
I will not try to push my people to success. This week I will show my people that when we work together they can achieve THEIR goals. When we work together to achieve their goals they will not need any pushing. I am building a positive corporate culture where people are self-motivated and successful.

I plan on writing most of the week. I have to travel one day down to Orlando to do a workshop for a client. We are getting Dayton ready to head back to school next month and that seems to have taken on a life all its own. Stay healthy in mind, body and spirit. I know it takes work but hey, you’re worth it.

All the Best
