Surprise Opportunities – Don’t Miss Them

	The other day I was playing tennis and hit a very good shot. It went hard to the back court. My opponent had to scramble to return it. And guess what? I was so busy congratulating myself, that I missed the next point. It’s hard to be modest about our achievements. The same is true when we flub. We tend to dwell on our mistakes and on our magnificence. Both take us out of the moment. Both prevent us from being receptive to what comes next. (Which is what happened to me when I got lost in my self congratulation.) Doing the right thing requires that we stay balanced and present NOW - in the moment. If we don’t, we expose ourselves to danger and miss the opportunities that come in surprise moments. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

Wanting

	When you want something too much people perceive it. Then they can use it to exploit you. Try this: When you really want something, before you work on gaining it, work on re-gaining your inner independence. You may be surprised at your results. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

Fundamentals of Human Nature

	When we are caught in an abysmal situation, there is a way out…if we understand four fundamentals of human nature. 1. When our emotions rule, our reasoning powers retreat. 2. Impatience makes us try to force a solution. 3. Envy arises when others get away with bad behavior while we do the right thing. 4. Our hurt pride takes away our happiness. If your efforts are not respected and rewarded – Don’t feel devastated. Don’t give up. Don’t defend yourself by pointing the finger at others. Do become calm. Avoid becoming emotional. Give your best effort, and go with the flow. Then wait and let time take care of it. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

To Make the Impossible, Possible

	Individual work is weak. Team work is strong. Do you know a “one woman wonder”? She’ll put on a fabulous event. She’ll work herself sick. But her organization will never grow. People actually feel hurt when you don’t let them participate or when you do it all alone. To make the impossible, possible, you have to trust the unknown. You have to let people help you. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.
