Manufacture Your Day by BEING MINDFUL OF YOUR THOUGHTS

Everything starts with our thoughts and that’s why it would serve us well to become more aware and consciously choose our thoughts.

This quote has started me on a life-long self-improvement journey because it really resonated with me. I used it as the final thought in the first workshop I facilitated at Magna. 

It is true, that whatever we believe with conviction will become our reality. Our mind is very powerful and that’s why it is important to become more mindful in our daily interactions.

How we think and feel will determine the results in our lives.

Over the years I have worked really hard on becoming a better person by learning from others and by learning from my mistakes. Sometimes I succeed in this lofty endeavour and sometimes I fail miserably but I do my best to keep going. 

What do you think is the reason that people in organizations don’t put more emphasis on the character of a person?

I think having outstanding skills and knowledge is great but if you combine them with good character and mindfulness in daily interactions, people will receive better personal and professional results, and they will have greater life satisfaction. 

Now that I made you curious, what really are the character traits that make for a good character in a person but especially in a leadership role?

• Honesty – be honest with yourself and with others
• Integrity – do the right thing even when nobody is watching you
• Self-Control – have a mental strategy in place to control your emotional response
• Respect – treat others the way you want to be treated
• Loyalty – have a “stick to it” attitude in your personal and professional life
• Accountability – take responsibility for your decisions and for your mistakes 

As always, I encourage you to work harder on yourself than the people around you.

This is how you will get further faster. Just saying!
