This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on TRANSPARENCY + FORTHCOMING = SELF-RESPECT

There is a certain level of SELF-RESPECT one can achieve when they are Transparent and Forthcoming. This level of SELF-RESPECT comes for the ability of the individual not having to be a caretaker of their lies and who they told what.

The individual that is NOT transparent and NOT forthcoming is someone that honestly believes they are pulling the wool over someone’s eyes. They most certainly are not.

However, the individuals that have lower levels of SELF-RESPECT have it because they are VAIN. Vain in the sense that they honestly believe they can tell lies with impunity and actually people will believe them (without fail or question).

That vanity and ego will take those individuals only so far. Their lies and falsehoods will almost be exposed. Usually, the individual telling the lies is the one that exposes themselves. Either they forget the lies they tell or the forget who they tell and that leads to their downfall.

By ensuring that words like transparency and forthcoming mean more to the individual than some words you can find in the dictionary. By accepting that being transparent and forthcoming there is no need to come up with lies and then having to remember which lie you told and to whom.

Actively pursuing a life of transparency & being forthcoming increases your quality of life. It moves you from an average individual to someone that can be trusted to tell the truth, which is a must in living as an Above Average Life. It also, increases your level of SELF-RESPECT. Once you recognize that you no longer have to lie or mislead others, you will find that life becomes easier and you will work hard not to go back to that way of existing.

The last word: Waiting to be found out is NOT a good way to exist.

This week’s CHART focuses on BLAMING OTHERS & LEADERSHIP QUALITIES

***Please look at this week’s chart very carefully as things may not appear as they seem.

Low value individuals are easy to spot. They are the ones that are always blaming others for their misery. They are the ones ready to throw anyone under the bus and they do so quite often. Most of the time they are ready throw hands they moment someone even thinks about blaming them for something they actually did.

While no one actually likes being blamed for anything even if they are responsible. However, when individuals refuse to accept blame and then immediately pass the blame onto others are individuals that are not ready to lead. Blaming others is a childish thing to do. As adults who see no issue or concern with blaming others do so only because they have never been held accountable for their actions and for their lack of action.

By working at reducing the blaming of others and increasing the level of accepting the blame for your actions and inactions you will be working at improving your self-worth, your self-esteem, and most of all, your ability to become a person with high morals and scruples. When you can only blame yourself when you must, then are you ready to lead others.

While it is easy to start and easy to keep doing blaming others when you should be accepting the blame will never get you to where you want to go.

This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on DOING WHAT YOU SAYING, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING WHAT YOU “WANT” TO DO.

It’s like another epidemic. People saying what they “need” to do but FAILING to actually do what they say.

It is understandable that LIFE occurs and sometimes plans change but not all the time.

People talk a good game. People will always talk a good game but they also fail to deliver. Sadly, they hold some belief that people will overlook their failure to deliver. Again, who cares what others think?

I know you don’t, you are too good for that. But, what about what you think about yourself?

What about what you think of yourself? Where is your self-respect, your dignity? Do you even have any self-respect?

You are the one saying the words and nothing is closer to your mouth than your ears. That means you hear what is coming out of your pie hole.

As a leader of an organization or within a company or in the family structure all that everyone wants is for you to stop saying and start doing.

Folks, everyone is watching your actions especially if they are NOT in line with your words.

You want to lead? You want to be taken seriously? You want to succeed? If you answered YES to any of these three questions then you had better start doing what you say.

Once you start and see the success of starting, then you will be hooked and want to achieve more of what you say you will do. Before you know it, you will have a Higher-Than-Average life.

Simply put: ACTIONS NOT WORDS!
