Behave
Behavior: What behavioral characteristics do you most admire in other people?
Our behaviors are driven by our mindsets & thoughts.
Pick out a few of your own behavioral characteristics that you would like to improve or eliminate. Then, read & learn how to think & act differently to become the person that you want to be.
Ready Or Not, Here You Go: You can delay, as long as you want, to improve your behaviors. No one can make you get better. And, when you try and fail, no one can help you re-start the process. You have to do it yourself.
So, if you want to achieve something, be prepared to fail, to pick yourself up and to start, again. That’s how we learn whether we are ready you not.
“That’s Just Who I Am”: If others consistently point out our unfavorable behaviors, do we stop to think that those behaviors warrant some improvement or do we throw our hands up in the air and say, “That’s just who I am.”
Listening to the reactions and comments from others is the easiest way to hear how the world perceives us. This perception is like a mirror of what the world is seeing & hearing from us.
We all need to take a moment and decide if we want to default to our current self-image or if we want to own the better version of ourselves.
Behavior Ultimatum: Some people can only change their behavior if they are given an ultimatum. These behavior ultimatums can be disguised as a:
Broken relationship
Severe medical diagnosis
Physical trauma
Job termination
Physical pain
Addictions
Death of a loved one
Some behavior ultimatums can never be undone, but each of them have a lesson in them. Think about potential behavior ultimatums that could be in your future and start learning behaviors that can lessen their impact or avoid their occurrence.
Behavior Listening: What are people really telling us?
If you listen & watch, people tell you who they are. But, you have to listen & watch.
Once you start talking, you are no longer listening. It’s that simple.
