No one said work was easy, but it doesn't have to feel so punishing either.
Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, small business owner, or any and all of the above, some days bring you to your knees. Resilience is often required after the worst of days to keep you going on your quest, but it's not so easy to find. I'd like to share a simple two-minute habit I've been using and teaching for many years now.
After a 30-year career as a leader, entrepreneur, small business owner, and employee, I've run the gamut of emotions after a wide variety of days. And I've learned a powerful survival technique for those days that end with me feeling pretty crappy about something unwanted that transpired. Take two minutes at the end of a tough day to say to yourself and reflect upon these two sentences.
1. "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it."
This is a quote from author Charles Swindoll that I first discovered when I was a young leader. It resonated so much I printed the quote out and taped it to my office door.
