by Georgina Cannon: In relationships, career and personally…
How can we get there? How can we be the best we can be most of the time in life?
Certainly living your values plays a large and important part. If you believe in kindness, integrity, generosity of spirit and life balance, and you live that way, you’re on a great trajectory towards excellence.
But there is more — of course.
- Care more than others think is wise. This doesn’t mean that you give up on yourself and lose your essence… it means that you have a passion about life and living. That the ‘small stuff’ doesn’t get in the way of upsetting your life balance. Excellence, after all isn’t only about achievement, it’s also about the way, the journey, the relationships you have with yourself and others.
- Risk more than others think is safe. This doesn’t mean invest without thought either in relationships or the stock market. It does mean, allow yourself to be vulnerable, to open up to beauty and pain in the world. To try, fail and learn.
- Dream more than others think is practical. Thinking big, what’s possible, what can I do to make a difference? More changes in our world have been started and accomplished by folks who dreamed, planned and acted in a way that was revolutionary in both large and small amounts… but life changing in some way, for humanity.
- Expect more than others think is possible. We know that what you think about you bring about. Champions are made by expecting to win. The clients in my office are encouraged to visualize, feel, see, hear what success looks like. That way, the path is charted, and they expect to reach the goal.
