You Can't Control It All
Have you been let down by unmet expectations? If you are human, the answer is: Yes! The more important questions is, "How do you respond to unmet expectations?" Do you allow disappointment to control you? The truth is, there are a lot of variables that are out of your control, but you can always control your response and your attitude.

Remember The Right Things
We have a great capacity to retain information, but we are often forgetful when it matters most. The key is that we tend to only remember the information that we place a high value on. Be sure that you are focusing on the most important things. What steps can you take to remember the things and the people that are most important to your goals?

Take the Time to Learn Their Name
When you meet someone, do you take the time to learn their name? It is such a simple gesture that can leave a lasting impression on those around you. This week, I got to experience this first hand. I met a woman named Tammy who really took the time to get to know those around her and reminded me how kindness can make all the difference. (Check out her TEDx video here.) How can you say yes to kindness this week?

Being Still Doesn't Make You Lazy
When was the last time you made time just to be still? Being busy doesn't make you productive and being still doesn't make you lazy. Sometimes we need to take a break from the routine and make time to rest, to reflect, and to dream.

Don't Celebrate Too Early
It is no secret that teamwork makes us better and brings us greater success and bigger wins. We should be quick to celebrate those wins and the team members that made it possible, but we can't celebrate early. We still have to accomplish our goals and the results matter. Our celebrations can't take our focus off of our destinations.

How Can You Help?
Do we help people or are we just waiting for them to screw up so we can criticize them? We never know what small gesture will impact another person and make a difference. What can you do today to help someone?

Focusing on the Right Kind of Change
"Maybe the change you need isn't the change you want." Too often we focus on the changes we want to make when we should be focusing on the changes we need to make. How are you doing on the goals you need to be accomplishing and the changes you need to be making?
