Attitude

May 21, 2012   //   by mark   //   Attack Blog, Control, Opportunity, Priorities  //  No Comments

It’s ironic that one of the very few things we have complete control over in our life is our attitude, yet most of us live our lives, our entire lives as though we had no control whatsoever.

By our attitude we decide to attack our activities or procrastinate activities each day.  We decide. It’s our choice.

A study of 502 of the richest men in America by Napoleon Hill concluded that the one characteristic they all had in common was the attitude of positive expectancy, as Brian Tracy says your attitude about the day goes about you like you shining light affecting everybody that you come in contact with.

Be the bearer of positive energy today with whom you come in contact with. Have an attitude that is infectious and see how fast it can change your world.

 

 

Decisions Are Footprints

Mar 22, 2011   //   by mark   //   Attack Blog, Decisions, Motivation, Opportunity, Planning, Priorities, Productivity Tips  //  No Comments

Decisions are footprints we leave in the sands of time. We are remembered by the impressions we make in the lives of others, created with the use of our time.  We cannot escape decisions.  To not decide is a decision.  Each decision leaves an impression. Our decisions are marked with each tick of the clock!

What is the point?  Decisions create our legacy.  Positive decisions move us and others forward.  Negative decisions hold us back and can hurt others.

We complete our legacy with the impressions made with our time.  Think!

This is productivity strategy #63 from the book Attack Your Day! Before It Attacks You co-authored by Mark Woods and Trapper Woods, time management experts.

 

When Time Windows Close

Dec 10, 2010   //   by mark   //   Attack Blog, Lost Time, Opportunity  //  1 Comment

A time window is a period of time that brings with it an opportunity.  Once that window is closed, the opportunity is lost.  For example, an elderly couple regrets not traveling while they still had good health.  It could be a person saddened because they lost a loved one lost to disease and didn’t cherish the time they had together.  Or, parents look back with sorrow because they didn’t play with and enjoy their children while they were young.

When time windows slam shut and we didn’t live the opportunities, we experience time remorse.  Good time managers live the windows of opportunities and end up with great memories.  “Memories are times that you borrow to spend when you get to tomorrow” (from Paul Anka’s song Times of Your Life).

Are you looking at a time window soon to close?  Is it time to make a memory? Is it time with a loved one?

Quote: “But what minutes!  Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.” ~Benjamin Disraeli
