I just received a text from a senior vice president who wrote, “Seems like my world is caving in.” Hmm…if you knew the back story you might agree. Now can you put on your servant lenses? As impossible as it might seem, the only way to stop the personal “cave in” is to focus on others. Then as the fog clears, you can make better rational decisions to help yourself be of greater service to others.
Here are a few suggestions from Dale Carnegie:
Fill your mind with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Create happiness for others.
Onward!
