Peace of Mind
The fear of the future is often more painful than experiencing the actual event. These fears cripple our mind and imagination. When we are afraid, we can take a deep breath. We can clear our head by getting into action. We can write about our fears, and we can discuss them with friends. Often all we need to do is focus on our breathing to clear our heads and find peace of mind.

Peace
In a material world, it is easy to think that peace of mind comes from getting the things we want. However, getting what we want often only leads to wanting more things. Even more painful, there is the anxiety of losing the things that we wanted so badly. So, what do we need to have to find peace of mind? We must find freedom from want, freedom from fear, and freedom from anxiety.

Hurt Feelings
In sports, athletes and coaches decide whether an athlete should continue to play or stop and receive medical attention. Is the athlete hurt or injured.
A common phrase in sports is “Rub some dirt on it.” Athletes just take their mind off the little pains in sports and get physically and mentally back into the game.
Hurt feelings in the workplace can be like be pains in sports. Somebody may say something or behave in a way that hurts or feelings. The best response is to pause. Are we hurt or are we injured?
If we get angry and raise the issue to a higher level by saying or doing something to hurt the person’s feelings in return, we can make matters worse. The best response is to pause. We can put the issue out of our mind until our anger has passed. We can speak with someone to get advice. We can “rub some dirt on it” and continue to focus on our jobs for the day.
In sports and in relationships, no response or silence is the best response.

They give credit to the people who are helping them make the best decisions to create success throughout their organization.

Finding Opportunities
Are you finding new ways to build on your success? Innovation creates changes. Attitudes create changes. Economics creates changes. Mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations create changes. The unknowns will create changes that we can’t imagine. Changes eliminate opportunities for people who are not changing with industry. However, people who stay successful develop new skills and continue to learn new ways to be successful.
