Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of  natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.   

Garden Rule: When  weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable  plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 
  
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 
  Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 
  
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. 
  
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? 
  
Who was the first person  to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangling things here and  drink whatever comes out?' 
  
Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta  it.' 
  If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? 
  Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when  you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway? 

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? 
  
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Keep Your Composure

Stress is a normal part of life. But it can become a problem when it dominates your life. If you feel your composure slipping, perhaps it’s because you are entirely too focused on the small picture. When you get caught up in the obstacle that appears directly in front of you—hindering your next few steps—look up, look farther, look beyond the problem at the big picture. That’s where you will find the possibilities, and along with those possibilities, your composure.

Close Your Energy Gap | MWM
Close your energy gap. Every challenge demands energy—sometimes more than we realize. Learn to replenish your reserves and strengthen your capacity, and you’ll find yourself more focused, balanced, and resilient in reaching your goals.


A Big Miss in People's Lives | MWM
Energy Expended Is Energy Returned = Connecting always requires energy. When you are connecting with people, you need to give it your all—you have to enter someone else's world and find common ground, which requires energy, but the energy expended will give you a higher return.



Bringing Excellent Energy to the Day
https://youtu.be/fw--AgCOh6o
Don’t Make Excuses = Energetic people are life-giving. We need to bring authentic energy with us in all we do. When met with a new task or challenge, if you don’t make excuses, your energy will carry you through. Bring energy to your interactions today.





Passionate leaders are never lacking energy. When you have passion—when you are passionate about a goal, a dream, a life-altering, difference-making idea, or a concept determined to change the world—you will never lack the drive to get it done. You might have setbacks or roadblocks that get in your way, but you will have the energy to keep going, to overcome. So, what are you passionate about? Wake up energized and go get it!

Leaders Eat Pressure for Lunch | MWM
Pressure Is An Opportunity for Leaders = The reality of leadership is pressure. And in effective leadership, it is how you deal with that pressure that is the difference maker.  As leaders, you find things that others don't find, you feel things that others don't feel, you see things that others don't see, and you know things that others don't know—this creates a pressure to perform and communicate in a way that positively impacts people. Don’t see pressure as the enemy, see it as an opportunity, as the confirmation that you are tasked with this job.




Keep Your Composure
Stress is a normal part of life. But it can become a problem when it dominates your life. If you feel your composure slipping, perhaps it’s because you are entirely too focused on the small picture.

MWM | Responding vs Reacting

Respond Thoughtfully = The difference between responding and reacting lies with agility. Reacting is emotional and short-sighted, while responding is thoughtful, grounding, and has a long-term vision. Agile leaders take a breath, assess, and choose a course of action that aligns with their values and goals, even under pressure. This composure builds trust in their teams, and it helps them handle crises with calmness and consistency. This keeps everyone focused and moving forward.




Leaders Calm Their People
Pursue A Peace That Passes All Understanding = Calm is more than emotion and a sense of serenity. Calm is about an essence that good leaders exude for their people, specifically in difficult times. When leaders create a calming environment for others during difficult times, their leadership shines. Good leaders learn how to pursue calm even in the midst of adversity.  



Keep Your Composure
Stress is a normal part of life. But it can become a problem when it dominates your life. If you feel your composure slipping, perhaps it’s because you are entirely too focused on the small picture. When you get caught up in the obstacle that appears directly in front of you—hindering your next few steps—look up, look farther, look beyond the problem at the big picture.

Work Now, Play Later = Work is not work, if it is something you love. In order to get ahead in life and your career, you need to not only work hard, but work smart. If you put in the effort to work hard now and prioritize your work, you can play later—but you have to get started first.




Making a Habit = Whatever challenge you may have, give yourself grace and put in the effort - you WILL get there. Keep working hard, stay focused and follow your dreams.
