Focus on you

September 25, 2010 By Jim Raffel

focus on you to improve the worldWhy? Because you can’t change anyone else.

Don’t be jealous. You don’t want to be like them. You want to be like you.

Find your own way. Your unique approach to the world is what people find interesting.

You’re doing it right. Yes, you are and keep the focus on you by helping others.

When frustrated by differences with others add “and that’s OK” to sentences like “I will never understand why she acts like that.”

By focusing on and improving you, you make the world a better place.

    Very powerful Jim!
    I particularly like the “and its ok” part.
    Wish I could go back in time and utilize that one.
    Just made a note in my journal to remember these words!
    Respectfully,
    Paul Castain

      Paul,
      First, I must give credit where credit is due. I am almost positive it was Cindi Thomas (@deziner) who I picked up “and its ok” from. Another of her quotes I love is “There’s a big difference between transparency and full disclosure.”
      Second, social media is working when a message like that spreads from a Cindi, to me, to you.
      As always thanks for stopping by my friend.
      -Jim
