You are tolerating more than you think. We put up with, accept, take on, and are dragged down by people’s behavior, situations, unmet needs, crossed boundaries, unfinished business, frustrations, problems, and even our own behavior.

So what are you tolerating? Take a couple of minutes to write down stuff you that you are putting up with. Not the stuff you can’t change or have no control over, but things like that 5 lbs that hangs around because it really doesn’t bug you enough to motivate you to go to the gym. Or that pile of papers that has sat on the corner of your desk for the last 3 weeks.

As you think of more items, add them to your list. Do you have to do anything about them? No, not really. Just becoming aware of and articulating them will bring them to the forefront of your mind and you’ll naturally start handling, eliminating, fixing, growing through, and resolving these them.

 Carpe diem,

We can all admit that it has been a bit tougher to make the same lifestyle in today’s market versus a few years ago.  I have seen a number of 25 year + veterans decide to cash out and retire just because they “know how hard I need to work to make it in this market and don’t have it in me.” 

I have watched the markets cycle and it is in these markets that the pros gain their biggest market share gains.  The dollars may be harder to come by, but these markets are necessary because it forces us to dig in get good at our skills, work harder and evaluate everything we do. 

What do you look to for strength when the going gets tough?  Why do you do what you do?  What keeps you disciplined enough to go do the things you dislike to get the things you want?

Carpe diem,
