Reframing Questions
What can you do when you’re not feeling great about yourself and things are hard? Step back and ask yourself a few key questions to better understand what lesson the situation is teaching you. Just asking yourself questions gives you the ability to reframe how you think about the circumstance — once you reframe your thinking your feelings will follow. During this solo episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, Sue shares seven things to focus on to become more effective and kickass in life.
Leaving it Better
Always do more than what’s expected of you. Leave the world a better place than you found it. What is expected of you, is doing the bare minimum. What would the world be like if everyone were to only do the minimum in their personal lives or work lives? Challenge yourself to exceed expectations whenever possible. Do not overextend yourself. But, if you can offer a little bit more than expected, you can leave an indelible mark on someone.
Moving Forward
Do not fall in love with your story. When someone tells a story, they know how to elicit a specific response, and they often tell it differently depending on the audience. No one else is as in love with your story as you are. You are the author of your own story, and you have the opportunity to tell it in a way that allows you to make peace with the past by telling the story of how it catalyzed you and how it made you better. Use your story to move yourself forward.
