Leaders, 32 Words That Can Change Your Life

We all have ways of testing opportunities that enter our lives.?Some of us dive right in based on feeling, while others walk straight into what they know is right by a gut feeling or intuition.

If it is not gut feelings or emotions that are the tests of opportunities, it is the logical mind persuading us to ignore those feelings and emotions and test it with our reality of reason.

Most of us do not have a predetermined strategy for testing opportunities or, even more generally, for testing our actions and choices in our lives.

There is an easier way to determine if the choices and opportunities we receive pass the test.?

This simple 32-word statement of business ethics was first created in the 1930s and used to turn around a failing company.?

Each employee applied these four questions to each and to every minute detail of the company's workings.?

This little list of four questions comes from Rotary International, a humanitarian business organization, which is the most widely printed, translated, and reproduced piece of business ethics today

Of the things we say, think, or do:

1.????????Is it the TRUTH?

2.????????Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3.????????Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4.????????Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

If we built businesses and our lives based on these very simple 4 questions, we would come from a place completely opposite of the competitive mindset.?

As you can see, these questions prompt you to choose what is true, fair, and good, making choices that can build friendships and goodwill.?It helps us to see how the choices we make can be beneficial to all concerned.?

Because of our societal influences, we are most often inclined to make choices and act based on a competitive mind.?This comes from the perspective of lack, scarcity, and greed.

Any opportunity based on the model of competition and lack will simply not pass the test.?Competition promotes strife.?It embodies winning one spot, taking it away from everyone who wants it.?

It misleads people to believe there is only one chance for success when there is plenty for all in reality.

The competitive model encourages people to rely on a source outside themselves to give them what they need.?This denies the power of their own ability to create what they want.?

This narrow focus shows they are choosing to ignore the possibility of creating this opportunity in their own lives instead of trying to win the spot from millions of others.

This simple testing technique takes us completely out of the competitive mind of greed, scarcity, and lack.?

It turns our thoughts and choices toward the positive, realizing there are opportunities we can take that can provide an increase for all concerned.

I invite you to use these questions to test your actions and opportunities in your life.?If you are seeking an opportunity, these questions may help you see things in a different way.?

In doing this, you may find an opportunity in your life that truly allows you to benefit the world while at the same time reaching whatever your dreams, goals, and desires are.

Master the message and unleash your leadership.
