As the senior leader in our organization, I am a firm believer in delegation of tasks and the development of talent. For us to grow and expand, I must be comfortable with a shrinking knowledge of every detail regarding every activity that we are involved in. Someone must know — but it doesn’t (and shouldn’t) be me. To help streamline our operations, we also outsource various functions such as facilities management, payroll, and even video work. This allows us to keep our costs down while also focusing on our strengths. While there are many things you can effectively hand-off or outsource to someone else, there are things that you cannot. Brushing your teeth. Asking your girlfriend to marry you. Naming your children. It’s possible you might become so rich that you could afford a personal tooth-brushing assistant; however, I’d recommend you not outsource the other two. And even if you could afford…

Personally, I believe in the wisdom of the Golden Rule: treat other people the way you want to be treated. More often than not, it works. When I treat people kindly, they tend to treat me with kindness. Are there exceptions? Of course, and that is why we have lawyers, learn about this in these legal news online. When I treat others in accordance with my highest self, I find my own energy lifted and I benefit from the increased energy of others. TAKE ACTION: See each person you encounter today as an extension of yourself. Treat them the way you would want to be treated.

In our modern world, we are busier than ever. However, I'm not convinced that we are necessarily more productive. In fact, energy favors simplicity over complexity (remember the laser). Instead of adding one more thing to your "to do" list, create a "stop doing" list. Are their things you are doing that someone else can (and should be) doing? Are you trying to do too much and not anything well? When you say "no" to something, it's good to remember that you are also saying "yes" to something you feel is more important. QUESTION: What is one thing you can stop doing today?

Science has proven what the spiritual literature has known for thousands of years - gratitude is good for you. Gratitude raises your energy level by reminding your inner spirit that there are good things in your life. Gratitude is also a natural negativity blocker. It is impossible to hold a negative thought while simultaneously thinking a positive thought. TAKE ACTION: Don't just say "thank you" today. When you have the chance, add an amplifier. Say, "Thank you for your outstanding service" instead of a simple "thank you." Do that a few times and write in your journal how the other person reacted and how it made you feel.

When people do the thermostat/thermometer exercise, they usually find "good" reasons why they haven't been successful or more accomplished. It might be a bad boss, the poor economy, or how they were raised. Self-pity is sideways energy. It is wasted energy. No football team has ever advanced the ball forward by sitting at the line of scrimmage feeling sorry for themselves. You can cancel the pity party. You can take the time and energy you would have spent wallowing about life and apply it to winning in life. TAKE ACTION: When you begin to feel sorry for yourself, stop and begin listing all the good things about your situation. Start today by listing five things you have to be thankful for.
