You Can Be Excellent by Taking Ownership
Are you trying to lead a life where
you are committed to displaying excellence
in everything that you do?
This is a wonderful way to lead your life.
One way to reach this point is by taking
ownership and responsibility for all of your actions.
'Own' your choices.
Accept the consequences of your choices.
And you will be viewed as a person who can be respected.
People will see you as someone who can be counted on. Reliability is a huge trait to have.
What’s the easiest way to display ownership?
It’s by not making excuses.
Did you arrive late for that scheduled appointment?
Don't come up with any outlandish excuse.
Tell the other person why you were late.
Apologize for not calling to let them know.
It really is so easy to blame outside influences
for your mistakes or oversights.
No-one has one hundred percent control over what happens.
But you can control how you respond to certain situations.
Such a reaction can completely change your life.
You can take ownership of situations like your relationships,
your education, your fitness, and your social life.
As you start to take ownership you will find that
you feel more confident. Y
our life will become more purposeful.
You should also learn to blend ownership with flexibility.
Are you currently willing to do things differently?
This means you shouldn’t be stubborn when something isn't working.
Take advice.
Attempt to change what you are doing.
Do this and you will begin to excel at more tasks.
This will help increase your confidence and self-esteem.
When you are flexible, you will be happy to respond to a situation in a different way.
It means that you are not rigid and set in your ways.
This brings us to another important factor in the quest to committing to excellence with everything you do.
This is the step of adding balance to your life.
When you live a balanced life, you focus on those things that are meaningful to you.
At the same time, though, you are still mindful of those around you.
You make choices that are related to the way you feel and what you are thinking.
When your life is balanced, you will know when to stay home and finish an important project instead of having an outing with friends.
You recognize the importance of staying
healthy and fit and act accordingly.
Combine taking ownership, being flexible, and balance into your life. And you will be well on your way to leading a life where you are committed to excellence.
