How Do You Rank As a Being?

We all have a yearning to BE who we are meant to be. Most of us, however, do not take the time to think about what it means to BE a Human BEing.

We go about the day and more likely than not we judge, blame, or criticize each other.

In this very hot and crowded planet where there are so many folks at work who are sour and unhappy, where so many in the community are angry and frustrated, where so many we see in the supermarket, at the mall, at the beach, or near a lake cannot just BE, perhaps it is time to look at ourselves and do a bit of judging of ourselves.

By the time we go to bed we are exhausted from the day at work and then the demands at home. Here is a list I have compiled talking with several hundred folks who have been through Total Leadership Connections? where the whole person and whole brain concepts are at the core of the program.

Here is the question “Can you….”

• Be trusted?
• Be fair?
• Be flexible?
• Be consistent?
• Be creative?
• Be balanced?
• Be curious?
• Be transformational?
• Be happy?
• Be loving?
• Be authentic?
• Be yourself?

What Be’s would you add to this list?

It takes 90 days to break any habit you have formed over a lifetime of being. A short investment of time, if you really think about it. Want to know more about breaking the old habits and learn to BE the best you can be? Start with a coach or a mentor, grab some self-help books. One I recommend is my Pattern Aware Success Guide filled with 90 days of five minute exercises you can do to find the way out of what no longer supports your life.

And remember that it does not matter what you DO in life as long as you BE the best you can BE.

Good thoughts for a summer day.
