A to Z Challenge - Develop Passion

For the A to Z Challenge, my topic is leadership and goal-setting. I am posting short excerpts from my book, Overcoming Obstacles with SPUNK! The Keys to Leadership and Goal-Setting, along with an inspiring photo. Today this also ties in with The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, hosted by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh. Enjoy and dream big!

Develop Passion

Goals survive and flourish on passion and determination. Those possessing a vision must act with enthusiasm and belief. Organizations thrive when the leader is able to embody its vision. If we are to see our individual dreams come true, we need to exhibit our vision as well.

If we act with conviction, others will follow our vision, too. Our passion must be real and felt from the heart. Believe in your vision and see it clearly, and then watch your dreams come to life!

Communication

Communicating and spending time with another person helps us to get to know that individual. Relationships move through several stages in the progression as well, from the discussion of facts to the exchange of opinions to the sharing of feelings. Every step requires conversation at some level and a give and take from both individuals.

Long distance relationships are common in our society today, but at some point, physical contact is required for continued growth. Body language and mannerisms play a huge role in human interaction. Some things are only communicated through eye contact or a friendly handshake. The sharing of activities and accumulation of similar experiences adds to a friendship, providing yet another level of understanding. We crave physical nearness for these very reasons.

Basic Truths

Before we can begin acquiring people skills, there are a few basic truths that must be grasped. Understanding human nature is critical and provides a foundation on which to build. Without that foundation, our house of skills will crumble and fall.

One of the most basic human truths stems from our selfish nature. Our primary concern and focus in life is ourselves! Whether due to our strong spirit or our self-preservation instincts, we place ourselves about all other considerations. We are the center of our own universe and more important than anyone else.

Attitude

You cannot control that flat tire or the rude salesman, but you can master your attitude regarding the situation. It’s the only thing you can control. Why surrender your one and only power to outside circumstances and other people? Your attitude is your one true possession.

Happiness is a choice. We choose to feel joyful or to feel miserable. When things go wrong, (or at least not according to plan), we are given the opportunity to decide how the situation will affect us. If we refuse to let circumstances dictate our attitude, then they have no real control over our lives. We become the master of our destiny. This is tremendous news indeed!
