Amazing 2009: 5

The back story:

The possible challenges for 2009.

Step 1: creating amazing self-discipline.

Step 2: making it happen. JFDI.

Step 3: The shrinking pie, grabbing opportunities and 'walk the talk'.

Step 4: Manage what you can: you, your attitude and your hair-cut.

Step 5: However, you'll sweat it. Easy.

You'll choose your response. If someone is irritating, you don't have to be irritated. If there's a traffic jam, you don't have to get angry. You can practice choosing your response. Amoeba just have to react to Life's whims. Crocodiles are pre-programmed just to eat you. But you have an amazing, unique attribute: the ability to choose your response. To say: enough is enough, I will go home. To say: I'm keeping the week-end free for my stuff. To say: I deserve better than that from my boss; I'll talk to her about it.

Choose your response. Is it always easy? No way. Can you get better at it? Sure.
