The weekend is upon us. After this long week of hard work and dedication I challenge you to go out and find your hero. Seems silly and childish. Maybe it seems distant. But, there are people out there that you look up to, people that have made a difference in your life. Take the time this weekend to talk with them. Get recharged, refocus your goals, and make sure they are written down.
I believe that everyone needs a person to look up to. You have to share your dreams and vision. Let them be known, and pursue them relentlessly.
That person who inspires you may have unique insight on what you can do to improve in areas that may be lacking. Just a simple conversation can make a major impact on where you’re going, and what you’re doing to get there.
One thing I know for sure is that January is almost over. It’s time to look at your new year goals and assess the situation. Don’t let a day go by without passionately envisioning your future, you achieving your goals.
So, find that hero, that special someone that moves you to achieve greatness. For me, it’s my grandfather. I’m looking forward to the conversation, as I know he will keep me on track to reach my wildest dreams.
Are the people you are talking with doing the same?
Have a great weekend dedicated reader, go out and live!
You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2010.
I’m looking for leaders to interview for my upcoming project, Writing on Leadership: Leading Change from the Frontline
Who’s making a difference out there? Who deserves to be recognized for their achievements in leadership? Let me know, I want to talk with them!
Please send in your recommendations to william_sokolowski@yahoo.com
Thanks to everyone for reading, your continued support is much appreciated!
