Notas del episodio
In this episode, I discuss the next chapters from John Maxwell's Book "Success is a Choice". I talk about how we can learn and use these ideas in our journey as air traffic controllers.
First, today, I talked about:
EMBODY PERSEVERANCE
I talked about the Principles of Perseverance-
· Perseverance means succeeding because you are determined to, not destined to.
· Perseverance recognizes life is not a long race but many short ones in succession.
· Perseverance is needed to release MOST of life's rewards.
· Perseverance draws sweetness out of adversity.
· Perseverance has a compounding effect on life.
· Perseverance means stopping not because you're tired but because the task is done.
· Perseverance doesn't demand more than we have, but ALL THAT WE HAVE.
I also talked about the enemies of perseverance-
· A lifestyle of giving up.
· A wrong belief that life should be easy.
· A wrong belief that success is a destination.
· A lack of resiliency.
· A lack of vision.
How do you multiply your perseverance?
· Purpose- Find one
· Excuses- Eliminate them
· Stamina- Develop some
Next, I talked about:
DEMONSTRATE COURAGE
"You can do nothing worthwhile without courage."
Why does talent need Courage?
Your courage will be tested when...
· You seek a truth that you know may be painful.
· When change is needed but inactivity is more comfortable.
· When your convictions are challenged.
· When learning and growing will display your weakness.
· When you take the high road even as others treat you badly.
· When being "out front" makes you an easy target.
· Whenever you face obstacles to your progress.
Where do you find courage?
· Look for courage inside, not outside, yourself
· Grow in courage by doing the right thing instead of the easy thing
· Take small steps of courage to prepare you for greater ones
· Recognize that a leadership position won't give you courage, but courage can make you a leader
· Watch your horizons expand with each courageous act.
Remember: The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity.
