Hi friends,
Some people say that it’s easy to put on a happy face. As a leadership trainer and coach, I know that it takes a lot of courage to be joyful.
The truth is that we live in a culture of scarcity. Tell the truth, how often do you hear, think, or say the following:
Not fast enough
Not good enough
Not attractive enough
Not smart enough
Not thin enough
Not popular enough
Not organized enough
Not productive enough
Not enough qualifications
I know you are shaking your head with me right now. The scarcity mindset surrounds us and is a hard habit to shake.
Today I want to challenge you to have the courage to be satisfied, positive, and even joyful. Here are some replacement thoughts to get you started:
This is a huge improvement.
That took a lot of courage.
Impressive.
Very kind.
When thinking/talking about yourself or others, fill in the blank. I am, she is, he is, they are, this/that is:
Strong
Brave
Courageous
Smart
Resilient
Beautiful
Creative
Fierce
Loving
Worthy
Enough
The change begins with YOU and your thoughts.
Once you change your thoughts around scarcity, you'll have the words needed to speak up when you hear others making these sorts of comments which will create a ripple effect.
My friends, THAT is a positive influence. –KM
