Recruitthebest Daily Digest- Turning Excuses Into Results

Here is the good news: ‘You are the Source of Your Suffering- and That’s the Good News.’

Choose to be happy. ‘Happiness is not correlated to perfect circumstances or a lack of stress in your life, but to the amount of personal accountability you accept.’

Ask yourself, ‘What am I missing?’ Because ‘what is missing from a situation is that which you are not giving.’

Do not feed your ego. ‘A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul of a leader.’

Stay away from micromanaging people. ‘If you feel you have to over-manage or micromanage, it is because you are under-leading.’

Stop hiring and promoting the wrong people. ‘You will have problem employees for as long as you continue to hire them and put up with them.’

Take action. ‘It is nearly always action– not opinion- that adds the most value.’

Always do what you say you are going to do. Because ‘clarity is the source– not the product- of a highly efficient and successful team.’

‘Trust is a choice.’

Be Comfortable With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

When things are tough, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired, feel like giving up, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired of explaining your values to others, those who don’t understand you, be okay with yourself. When people are not who you think they are, be comfortable with yourself. When you are the only person in the room fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves, be comfortable with yourself.

Because people are counting on you. If you are not comfortable with yourself, you won’t be able to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. If you are not able to take a tough stand against a popular but not helpful issue, the world will suffer.

Don’t let that happen. Because being comfortable with yourself means self-love. It means you are okay with yourself, regardless of what is going on in the world. It means you see opportunities, not problems. It means you are happy with what you have. It means you know where you are, what is going on, and what you are going after.

Before you go, remember, being comfortable with yourself is self-love.
