Weathering Difficult Times

We’ve weathered scary times before!
For example, twelve years ago, at the height of the financial crisis, Dan Sullivan (founder of Strategic Coach) published an article called the ‘Scary Times’ Success Manual. He proposed 10 mind shifts, that are just as relevant today as they were then:

Forget about yourself, focus on others.
Forget about your commodity, focus on your relationships.
Forget about the sale, focus on creating value.
Forget about your losses, focus on your opportunities.
Forget about your difficulties, focus on your progress.
Forget about the “future”, focus on your today.
Forget about who you were, focus on who you can be.
Forget about events, focus on your responses.
Forget about what’s missing, focus on what’s available.
Forget about your complaints, focus on your gratitude.

I suggest reading that list a few times today... and maybe even copying it out, by hand, and tacking it up somewhere where it can be an ever-present reminder.

Focusing on the right things is exactly what each of us needs to do today and every day!

Re: Weathering Difficult Times

Exactly, thank you for sharing. Living in the present is in itself the gift that is so easily overlooked. Giving of oneself is seen less and less these days. Instant gratification and "What's in it it for me?" lifestyles have forgotten how to be thankful and giving without expecting something in return. I will be the change I want to see, today.

Miles of Smiles,
