Harmony

In the book: Grit by Angela Duckworth, she quotes Will Smith as saying “Harmony is aerodynamic.”

When we can find our passion, when we can align that passion with our work, and even more so when the vision of our team member’s/families/coworkers, our movement toward that vision becomes so much easier.

That is why it is so important to have discussions about your goals with the people on your various “teams” (work/home/etc).

When you articulate your goals and they articulate theirs, you will find common ground and that makes it all the easier to move toward that future.

Work on collaborating to become a supremely aerodynamic force today 🙂

Happy Tuesday!

Growing or fixed?

The picture above was taken from the book: Grit by Angela Duckworth.

It is a really good book.

In one chapter she discusses the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. She discusses the that key to cultivating a growth mindset (which has been connected to higher learning, more successful careers, larger more positive impacts, etc) is realizing that there is hope in your situation. When you can attach hope to any time of adversity, you realize you can decide to improve your current life. If you believe that you are hopeless than growth cannot occur.

The great news is that there is always hope.

So today, when faced with adversity, grab on to a hopeful future, realize you have options for a better tomorrow and GROW 🙂

Happy Monday!
