• “ Seek to remove the causes of problems and prevent future causes from occuring. That’s leverage”
Innovation & Risk “ We’re here to make waves, not to stick our toes in the water” • The time to take prudent risk is when you are having hard times or moderate success. The time to take stronger risk is when you are doing wonderfully well • People who say they’ve never failed are in one of the three positions They’ve never tried anything worthwhile They’ve failed and they don’t realize it They’re lying
Reinventing yourself
• Reinvention doesn’t necessarily replace who you are & what you do, but it provides for new dimensions & attitudes Reinvent yourself with foll in mind• Sincere interest in the new field • Look at it as a

“ Life is about success, not perfection. A major component of success in your life is to continually create personal challenges that you pursue with relish”
If you don’t reward yourself, you reward no one Discretionary time Personal space & soirituality Finance & health
Short term & Long term personal rewards The reward of giving The reward of permission The reward of a gift The reward of a change The reward of a respite The reward of congratulations
Instantiating your dreams Positive dreams reflect your aspirations,
unused talents & vicarious needs. Negative dreams are about revenge & vindication. The latter can be positive if they serve to exorcise feelings that will therefore not influence actual behavior. The former are always constructive and can be used to influence behavior.
Making your dreams come true Recognize the validity of the dream or aspiration Ask yourself what obstacles are in route to progress towards fulfillment Strive for progress, not perfection
How Stress can help you
Identify the stress causing situations Evaluate whether the stress is significant enough to take action Estimate what the likely result of you making a different decision might be Select a course of action Act at the next available opportunity Assess the result
There are 2 primary causes of stress in our workplace & personal lives Not knowing what may happen tomorrow The belief that we have no control over what may happen
“Our need to control is deep seated & emotional & is a combination of fear of the unknown & mistrust of other’s judgments. We must surrender that need & accept that we control very little”
Balance in Relationships Influencing others is an art form
Power & coercion Normative pressure Enlightened self interest
If you want to influence someone you must determine what is in the other person’s self interest and appeal to it in such a way that both of your interests are served •
•
Intelligent tradeoffs • Never negotiate away a “must” • Try to never squash someone else’s must • Never make a negotiation about "ego” Another way to view self interest and influence others while maintaining balance in relationships are- values, attitudes, behavior sequence
Avoiding generalizing specifics
The phenomenon consists of taking a single piece of perceived evidence and utilizing it as universal truth The closer we are emotionally to others , the more probability that we will generalize specifics as we ignore the context or proportion
Communicating in the light of the day Cognitive interference
Environmental interference
Key aspects of being honest & authentic in Relationships Show a willingness to listen & accept feedback Admit it when you are wrong Never deliberately support a specious argument just to salvage your ego Keep your mouth shut
Don’t poison the communication with history, biases & precedents Admit it when there is confusion or misunderstanding
Meta talk
It is a process aimed at reviewing, analyzing & deciphering how you talk to each other. It involve The Timing of talk The location of talk The use of Language
Cause vs Blame
Its easy to assign blame. It’s difficult to remove it. And it’s impossible to eliminate the blemish you’ve created for yourself by resorting to the tactic to begin with Cause is different from blame in that it is a combination of elements that caused the problem.
Selective openness & receptivity Feedback requires active listening Feedback checklist Do I have a trusting relationship with the person Is the feedback specific, timely & useful Does the feedback contain evidence or supposition? Is there a major issue involved?
Self possession & control of one’s Fate To balance our lives we need to situation ally & frequently reinforce & renew our “tethers” to various levels of need. It’;s quite possible to be self actualizing while we simultaneously require a need to improve our physical well being or security
The invidious nature of guilt Recognize guilt for what it is Separate guilt from culpability & responsibility Allow yourself temporary emotional guilt, then go to pragmatic zero tolerance
The courage to stand alone “ Many people take refuge in a crowd & solace in the anonymity. This will always mean that you’re driven by the herd mentality. True life balance is about individual choice, not for its own success. At a certain level of success every person is an island
The fallacy of perception
