Episode #34 - Expanding Human Excellence through Open Eyed Leadership.

Conflict is unavoidable. People don't always agree on everything, even when they get along well. Problems don't have to turn into violent fights. Conflicts can flare up quickly, cause stress, and make it hard to reach goals.

Things can get heated, uncomfortable, and not very useful when people don't get along. If these problems aren't dealt with, they can make or break a situation or relationship.
When things get tough, we need to focus on the task at hand. To deal with the darkness of our situation, we need to change what we're doing. So you don't burn out, remind yourself to slow down when it's time.

At different times, we all feel different things. If we want our lives to get better, we sometimes must force ourselves to get past frustration, anger, resentment, shock, and sadness. Emotions are a big part of what makes us who we are, especially when they are tied to stressful experiences. Memories can be strong and last a long time. They can change how people think and act for a long time.

Our thoughts dictate what we achieve; if we have a “can do” spirit we have a better chance of persevering and accomplishing our intentions. Self-talk is the constant flow of unspoken thoughts that race through our minds. It is an important internal monologue. These thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of this mental activity comes from logic and reason, while some comes from our misconceptions and fears. If we tell ourselves that we do not have the abilities to achieve something, it sets boundaries on our accomplishments. Focus on building your life by your choices versus the hope of a windfall. Turn your thoughts from perceived scarcity to anticipated abundance. Shift your attention to appreciate what you already have versus feeling stressed about all that you do not have.
To fuel achievement, we need to concentrate on opportunities for growth. We all have different views of what we mean when we talk about effort. Regardless of our perspective, putting forth more effort, while taking calculated risks, is guaranteed to increase learning and performance. Our level of consistent effort will move the lever of progress accordingly. Increasing brain power along with toughness allows for more advanced challenges, accomplishments, and satisfaction. When we are struggling, electing to make the effort to stretch ourselves may initially feel uncomfortable and even scary, but growth requires change and change is very rarely smooth.

We all need to make choices on how we “show up” in the face of adversity. Our lives are happening now – they are not happening tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or even someday. Life is not meant to be passive. Waiting for someone else to take control of our lives is not progress, and it does not lead to success.

When I experience difficult times, I use the image of walking up a hill. I look at the top of the hill so that I know where I am headed. My focus then goes to looking down at my feet. I start out by taking the few steps that are in front of me, and then continue to move forward, progressing steadily, and before long I am at the top of the hill. Reaching that pinnacle, I take a deep breath and look back at what I have accomplished. I smile and think to myself, “I did it!” That two-second acknowledgement and celebration help build confidence for what is yet to come.

We build who we are and what we become by every step we take, every sight we see, and all the words that we have heard as well as those that we have spoken throughout our lifetime. No one knows what your eyes have seen, what your heart has felt, or what you have had to walk through. Every challenge you have overcome adds content to the quality and grit of who you are today. It is important to capitalize on those experiences, both good and bad, to be able to propel your life forward. Our current feelings, personality traits, and behaviors have been shaped by our distant and recent past. Many of the challenges, perceptions, judgments, wisdom, intellect, and social skills that were formed since childhood significantly impact our lives now. Even those experiences that seemed inconsequential at the time may have a dramatic impact on our decisions today.
