Be Positive In All Areas of Your Life

This week, let’s define “The Problem” as taken from The 8th Habit Summary
by Soundview Executives Book Summaries

“Our basic management practices come from the Industrial Age. These include:
● The belief that you must control people;
● Our view of accounting (People are an expense; machines are assets.);
● The carrot-and-stick motivational philosophy; and
● Centralized budgeting, which creates hierarchies and
bureaucracies to drive “getting the numbers” — a reactive
process that produces “kiss-up” cultures bent on “spending
so we won’t lose it next year.”

As people consent to be controlled like things, their passivity only fuels leaders’ urge to direct and manage. There’s a simple connection between the controlling, Industrial Age, “thing” paradigm that dominates today’s workplace and the inability of managers and organizations to inspire people’s best contributions in the Knowledge Worker Age: People choose how much of themselves to give to their work, depending on how they’re treated. Their choices may range from rebelling or quitting (if they’re treated as things), to creative excitement (if they’re treated as whole people).”

Can you relate with “The Problem”?  Are you still in the Belief of the Industrial Age?

In our Knowledge Worker Age, we must realize the abundance of life.  You are made perfect in God’s love.  He created YOU as a masterpiece marked with a unique fingerprint. Learn how to be positive in each area of your life.  Always live up to the Golden Rule:  Do unto other; what you want other to do unto you!

For those of you who are my FB friends, you will often read my posts as: 

I am strong, I am confident,

       I am happy, I am grateful.
 
This is one way of remaining positive.  No matter what you are going through, always look for the positive side of things, situations.  Always ask: "What can I learn from this?"; "What positive thing/trait/lesson can this bring to me, my life? And use the positive thoughts it brings and lessons learned and create 2-3 positive statements you can repeat to yourself for the next 21 days.

Or list down 10 positive statements for your life.  State them as many times possible throughout the day.
Claim it as done and we will be able to shift the belief system and address the problem.

What positive statements can you share with others that may be useful for them?

FIND YOUR VOICE.  In developing the habit, you will discover the ABUNDANCE OF LIFE.  The promise of the new age we are in.
