A key to success

Understand this . . . 

As long as we structure our lives in a way where happiness is dependent upon something we cannot control, then we will perpetually experience pain.    

                                                                                                 - Tony Robbins      

In each of our own personal ambitions to take over the world (smile) there are enormous amounts of things we can and cannot control.  You can't control an out of control marketplace.  You can't control friends, colleagues or co-workers who, for whatever reason, cease communication with you.  You can't make people hire you just because you want them to (no matter how good you are).  Your services just might not be for them.

Each and every day when you wake up in the morning and you have a keen sense of knowing where your authority has limited power, you can move with strategic grace through the minefields of your day to day challenges.  And nothing is more empowering than knowing how to maneuver with efficiency through uncontrollable situations, mindless scenarios, and even utter chaos. 

A smile on your face, an ease in demeanor and a calm dispostion will prove to be downright invaluable.
