Here's
wisdom from Roger:
- Your
mindset is the single best predictor of success.
- Our
language has a powerful impact on our mindset.
- Some
people speak of mountains when they are facing molehills.
- Do
not focus on your limitations but on your gifts.
- We
rarely perform better than we can think we can.
- Never
let acceptable get in the way of exceptional.
- The
best version of your is always available to you, any and everyone can do
this.
- Everyone
has extra-ordinary potential within them.
- Make
a habit of being grateful. It is hard to be negative and grateful at the same
time.
- Many
wish things will happen, but those who win the most make a commitment to make it
happen!
- Your
words have power.
You can see the impact when you add these words at the
end of your statement: “And that’s the way I want it!” Such as saying, "I am
having a lousy day…and that’s the way I want it!” or, “People are terrible…and
that’s the way I want it!”
Or, you can change the conversation to the
positive: "I am doing great and am grateful…and that’s the way I want it!” or,
"People are wonderful and life is good…and that’s the way I want it!"
Use that phrase to check your language!
