The Power of the Pivot: Leading with Discernment R. L. Maco

If you ever have the opportunity to love or condemn, always choose love. Why? Condemnation makes us operate at a deficit. We are not in the business of condemning others. We were meant to love and be loved. Don't get distracted by agendas that promote hate and robs you of your peace of mind. Protect your mind, body and soul by keeping it as positive as you can. Will there be bad times? Of course! But we have the power to choose. And when you find yourself in a position where you can either condemn or love, choose love. It will never let you down.

Having a set routine is luring, isn't it? On some level, we need a good routine that keeps us in check and on track. But sometimes a routine holds us back. Let's not get stuck in a comfort zone where nothing happens but the passing of time. Today is a good time to check on ourselves to see where we are going. Let's see if these routines we implemented are yielding the right results. Routines only work when we analyze why we've decided to stick with them. Have you analyzed your routine or have you been lured into a routine that doesn't serve you very well? It's time to find out so that we can pivot as needed.

Do you really know how great you are? It's about time you do. It doesn't matter how many times you say you're great, if you do not believe it, you will never realize all the wonderful things that make up who you are. Not only should you step into your greatness, it's time to be Great! Affirmations are one thing, owning your Greatness is a whole different story. It's time to relish in Your Greatness and You.

When we evaluate what we're doing in life, we need to look at all aspects of our life, including the people we allow in our lives. Have you ever asked yourself why a particular person is in your life? Perhaps it's time you did. Knowing when to embrace, celebrate and be thankful for the people in your life is equally as important as knowing when to let go of relationships that are unhealthy, stressful and perhaps detrimental to you. Let's really think about the people in our lives and ask that hard question: Why Are You in My Life?

Are you happy? If not, the question is: why? What or who is making you unhappy? Life is too short to live in misery. Pinpoint the root of your unhappiness so you can do something about it. It’s time to figure out what’s really eating you.

Wanting to change and the act of changing are two separate things. We want to go from the thought of changing to actually making a change. To do this, we must understand that change is a process. Change first requires an acknowledgement that change must take place. From there you need to formulate a plan to implement change. So let's take a look at how we actually go about making a change instead of consistently talking about it. It's time to be about it. Let's effectuate change today!
