This will be a Great! week here in the Greatness! section of Great! All the time! I have four posts already scheduled for Monday through Thursday, excerpts of my coming book, The Great! Life Owner’s Manual.
What are they?
On Monday, we are going to discuss POWER – Proceed only with every resource.
On Tuesday, we are going to learn about FOCUS – Follow one course until success.
On Wednesday, we are going to exercise CONTROL – Critiquing oneself nicely to repair occasional lapses.
On Thursday, we are going to work on our BALANCE – Build and leverage a nicely coordinated ensemble.
On Friday, we are going to open a special surprise prize inside all of us to enjoy over the weekend.
As stated several times now, responsibility means we are liable for responding to the needs of those people, places, and things with whom and which we have relationships in life and to whom and which or for whom and which our values make us responsible. We have a hierarchy of our relationships based not only on the interdependence between us and each of those relationships but also between each and all of those people, places, and things themselves. Each one of our relationships is like but one of the several plates vaudeville performers spin on sticks without dropping any. Keeping each and all of those plates spinning simultaneously successfully happens only by using the right collection of power, focus, control, and balance.
We use these four things to decide moment to moment how to apply our life’s precious resources of self, time, effort, energy, emotion, intellect, property and people to respond to the complex of needs each and all of those people, places, and things require of us at a given time. As you begin to own your own Great! life, achieving this balance, which is the essence of your practically perfect performance of life, will take a good deal of proaction, perception, planning, preparation, practice, persistence and promotion. Once you get more experienced at owning your own life, however, most of this process will become a natural instinct.
To help you become proficient at achieving balance in the life you now own, this week we are going take a look at power, focus, spin control, and balance in more detail.
So, help all of us out by getting more people involved in our conversation. Like me on Facebook, Tweet me to your Twittering friends, forward this to all your contact. Start a comment thread below.
In the meantime, you GOTTABGATT!, so go out there today and be Great! All the time!
