Day 46 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

REFLECT

Over the past 45 days, there have been plenty ideas, concepts and so much more to think about. Just like life, things come at you 100 mph. Every once in a while, it is a great idea to put the parking brakes on and sit idle for a bit. During that “idle” time you are to REFLECT on all that has happened up until this point.

Word of Warning: Don’t idle so long that your “engine” overheats.

Sit “idle” long enough to:

• Absorb all that has happened
• Understand what has happened and why
• Plan your next move / Chart your course
• Execute

This is not like daily meditation in that you clear your mind. No, this time to actively reflect is for when you really want to go over the things that have recently happened and to contemplate on how and where you want your life to go from this point on.

As I wrote, don’t take too long to execute because whether you want to believe it or not stuff is already happening, decisions have been made, and the plans of others are being executed as you read this. So don’t let it overtake you and pass you by. The last thing you want to do is spin your wheels while you are trying to get up to speed.

BE A MENTOR

Be A Mentor. Find someone who you see needs a little guidance whether it is at work, at school, in the playground, at the gym, on the track, on the trail and pass on your wisdom, share your knowledge. Be a Leader by shaping future leaders.

Be a Mentor.

Something to remember: Don’t go up to someone and ask if you can mentor them. Just start sharing your knowledge and your wisdom and before you know it you will have your very own “Padawan” (a Star Wars reference (look it up)).

EYE CONTACT

Make and Keep Eye Contact. People want to know that someone is paying attention and there is no better way to show that you are paying attention than to look someone in the eye. Make and Keep Eye Contact. Don’t be distracted by the Television, the Computer monitor, your phone, a car passing by, and for Pete’s sake do not be distracted by the shiny object(s) hanging off a gold chain.

Keep the distractions to a minimum.

No matter how shiny and bright and big the object hanging off the chain is do not be seduced by the distraction.

What if they do not make eye contact with you?

Don’t worry; you just keep making eye contact. Eventually, they’ll get it. Remember, the eyes will also tell you what they are thinking and wanting to do. You can then adjust the conversation to move to your advantage, if not then you will at least be prepared for anything that comes up in the conversation.
