How deep can/do you connect to something?
After 8.5 months I’ve got it figured out.
Connection.
That’s all.

Today is the day I work on ME. I have a day off from newly found career, which I am loving btw. Since starting, between all the learning and experiences I have once again forgotten about the number one. ME. I have let fitness slip (my sanity). I have let hours get away focusing on other things, I have neglected my purpose. I understand and accept there will be blips. I am hoping fewer and fewer as time goes on. Today, has been very productive already. Just taking ownership creates co-creation, satisfaction and productivity.
”I exist to be content from inspiring Strengths’ through teaching with whomever I come in contact with while always having fun”
Strength Tips, plans, book writing, CONNECT issue of Defyneurs, Meditation, card ordering, speaking event planning and creation. That is today. Plus of course a 10k run, meal prep and family time.
Never losing sight...

As I “plug in” at the Ft.Lauderdale airport after a cancelled flight and now delayed (rebooked) flight, I reflect. This is one of those times where you want to be angered. For what? Will it matter tomorrow? I wanted so bad to cry, scream, sleep, crawl up into a little ball. For what? As I listened to everybody around me complain, tell me their story and pretty much dis Air Canada, I told jokes. These are the times in life I am utilizing my vertical thinking. Something I learned at an incredible training within my first 2 weeks at Starbucks Canada. Yes, I am worried about my dog who has to stay 2 extra nights at the doggie hotel. Yes, I am worried about what my new employer will think when I call and say I will be completely late (if I can even make it in at all). Yes I got next to zero sleep. Yes, yes and yes. I still am. This it’s. I am. Molly is happier than happy, Starbucks understands and well, Air Canada had an unintentional glitch.
I am.

Do you remember the first day of a new job? Today, I get to not just remember it, I get to experience it. All the feels. Excitement, nervous, happiness and wow. All in the same deep breathe in. I just pray no spilled drinks, happy customers!

Contentment. I am content. That’s hard for me to say. I really never have been. Always searching for more. More tasks, more learning, more money, more shoes, more fitness, more approval. The past 3 months have shifted this thinking. I can truly say I am content. This doesn’t mean I am not striving to achieve dreams. The exact opposite. I have never been more on fire. Starting a new career, writing a book, reading and researching, connecting with friends, connecting with just more in general. When something changes so big in your world, so unexpectedly it helps create this sense of reflection I can’t describe. I have always been an optimistic and positive person. To the point where is freaks people out. At one point I was even told to pull back on that part of me to be a better leader. Fuck that. I am who I am. I truly DO see the good in the world. And I see the other side always. If that appears to be “fake” think what you think. It’s not. I am telling you. There you have it. A Sunday thought.

STrength Tip Tuesday
Why do we endlessly tire over trying to make our weaknesses STronger? Doesn’t this seem rather odd to you? Especially when by definition, a weakness is not necessarily something you are BAD at. In Marcus Buckingham’s words, it is more like “something that weakens you.” Something that you are doing that feels like it takes forever to complete, something that you procrastinate over, something, put quite simply, that you would rather poke your eyes out than actually do.
My tip for you today…don’t waste your time on that shit.
There are a thousand ‘n one ways of ensuring you do only mainly the stuff that STrengthens you.
figure out what weakens you by writing down over the course of a week things that drain you. Things that make you say “really? I have to do that again?”
then, delegate - the weakness of one, may be the strength of another on your team (find that out - makes life a whole lot easier)
talk to your boss about your duties, your “STrengths - see if you can adjust or realign with what makes you tick. Use key terms like “if I do this then my productivity will increase by this”
re-write your own job description so you are doing only mainly what you know as your STrengths
Yes, there are times when you will need to do things that weaken you. There are parts of every job or task that you may not be overly fond of. My wish for you is that those are few and far between. I wish for you that you only mainly do the stuff that makes you feel STrong!

Today marks the last day of twenty seventeen. It’s time to reflect. This year I am especially grateful for every minute, every day, each month and the full year of lessons. Just to share a few of the biggies: • Trust is key. (never knew this about myself ‘til this year) • Never be complacent. • Forever learn and share. • Ask questions. A lot of questions. • Be empathetic. • Do shit that scares you. • Meet people. Connect. • Be genuinely interested. • Know your STrengths. Use them. • B-STrong This year the path changed for me. I have to admit that the road I was on, I truly Ioved. I have always believed things happen for a reason. It’s the year to find out. Time to adjust and create another path that I am just as passionate about and loyal to. Thank you twozerooneseven. I haven’t done that much learnin’ in a while. Cheers to 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣8️⃣
