“We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible.”
~ François de la Rochefoucauld
I work with some very successful individuals who have confirmed one of my own beliefs – that if a person REALLY wants to be a certain way or achieve a certain goal, they’ll find a way to do it.
The key characteristic that these successful individuals have in common, I find, is the way they approach any problem or challenge:
- They focus on solutions, NOT on blaming;
- They focus on possibilities, NOT on limitations;
- They focus on what needs to be done (and by when), NOT on excuses;
- They focus on people’s abilities, NOT on people’s liabilities.
So what are YOU focusing on?
