Inspiring Thought by Colin Dreyer
Is this really worth reading?
That is a good question……each month when I sit down to write these I ask myself if anyone is reading them and are they getting any value from my comments or observations in life.
The answer is yes…..one, I like writing them as it continues to motivate me and helps me reflect on the positives in life and two, any opportunity to make a positive change in your life or someone else’s is an opportunity you have to take.
So, now you know the theme for this month……take opportunity not only when it is available but when it is not available you need to go out and create it.
Here are a couple of thoughts to keep you motivated and energized…
- Learn from older people – knowledge is always the key to success and what better way to learn from those that have gone thru the highs and lows of life and are willing to share that information with you to help put your thoughts in context and also to help you eliminate some of the pitfalls that you may be subjected to in your journey.
- Pursue a mentor – as above we can learn for everyone, regardless of age but sometimes we need someone who can understand our goals and be a constant resource to help us to get where we want to go and keep us on track……so pick a mentor and let them help guide you…..no one said you have to climb every mountain yourself.
- Do not fear competition – there is always competition, understand it, learn from it but work on your own game….winners are defined by their strengths.
- Network for value – being seen and knowing as many people as you can is important to personal and business growth but you need to also decide the highest and best use of your time……be strategic, you do not need to be everywhere all the time
- Listen well – you learn and grow in the quiet moments….by reading and listening not by hearing yourself talk……be in the moment, listen to people, give them your full attention when they are talking……if people believe that you care for them then they will care for you.
Again, simple steps with large results. Stay motivated, stay energized….this is your moment…..enjoy it!
All the very best,
Colin
