preparation = success
Preparation is like anything else , it must become habit and it is something that YOU are responsible for. You need to be ahead of your day and you need to be sure you have the proper tools to do your job.
Think ahead.
If you do not have the proper information needed- get it- and you should prepare as much ahead as you can. If you wait to the last minute to prepare you are leaving to much to chance.
In order to do your job you may need to do the job of others, if you need it then do not leave it for others to get it to you- chase it- ask the questions, become as self efficient as possible.
Always think out the worse case senerios and be ready with a plan B.
Prepare
Write things down ! Make a check off list- most important- follow up ! You will not get all your answers right away, you will get voicemail, your email will not get returned, you will get bounced from one rep to another- follow up and follow through.
Should it be streamlined ? Should other people help get you the information you need ?? Yes and yes but guess what ? This is life - no matter where you and what you do you will run into the same issues.
There are people who care about doing a good job and their are others that just show up and the ones that just show up can effect your work so you need to work with them or around them but you cannot allow them to bring you down.
Work it -find a way- be prepared ! - Don't just show up !

Life
Live life ..
Live life like you are dying.. because none of us are promised tomorrow.
If you were diagnosed and told you had a few years to live, what would you do?
Would you waste your time hating and being angry or would you appreciate every day?
Do not take the day for granted, do not waste your energy on the negative, your life is what YOU make it.
There is a lot of reasons to feed into the negative and the hate , it is all around you every day.
Do not keep putting things off that you want to do or push away the people that matter most to you, you do not know what life has in store for your loved ones too so let them know that you care about them. And the most important thing you can give them is your time.
Live every day- look up- smile- appreciate the people in your life.

Sacrifice
How do you measure someone's sacrifice?
Do you even know what the person next you has sacrificed?
Is it a single parent who sacrifices every day to provide for their child ? How about the spouse who sacrifices every day for their loved one who is suffering through medical issues ? Did the person next to you suffer a loss of a child or a parent to early in their life or possibly just suffered a loss?
Why do we feel the need to judge others that we really do not even know ?
My sacrifice is greater than yours ? Really ?
Think before you talk, think before you judge, everyone has a story and is going through something.
Take the time to talk and actually listen and I guarantee you that you will look at the person differently, therefore you will possibly start to see why they may be defensive or angry or depressed.
Do not join the crowd and ignore the " person " - take it down a notch- Listen.
What do you really know about the person next to you? Your neighbor ? Maybe they could use a friend ? Maybe YOU could use a friend?

Believe
Believe
There is a reason for everything!
Who knows why one path leads to another and why things happen but trust and follow the paths and you will find that it will bring you to where you should be.
We learn more from our failures and our hardships then our successes and accomplishments.
It is all true.
When I look back I have no explanation on why certain people came in my life and why certain opportunities fell in my path, I only know that I always tried to do my best for my family , not hurt anyone and I tried to enjoy every.
I tried to learn from everyone, still do.
Believe.
Do you believe ? Do you have faith ?
We only have so much control, bad things will happen, bad people will enter your life, what you do with it all is up to you.
The wonder of life is not knowing, and in the journey.

Discussions
Discussions are good- discussions are necessary to grow and learn and for understanding other people's opinions.
Unfortunately you can not have real discussions or conversation if everyone is yelling.
I think that a lot people think that if they yell louder and get very angry that their opinion is more important then others- unfortunately all it does is shut down any real conversation.
I do my best to always try to look at the other side, to try to understand why someone may look at something the way they do. We all draw on how and where we were brought up and what is in our DNA and passed down for generations.
The great thing about the United States is that we are a melting pot and have different races and religions and with that comes different cultures and opinions that is what separates so many other countries. The United States has freedoms that are the fabric of our democracy and we need to always respect the cultures and opinions of everyone and to listen to those that you may not agree with.
Yelling does not make you right- it just makes you loud and obnoxious. What are so afraid of?
Respect others- honesty Listen- converse , at the end of the day you can keep your opinion and go home or maybe if you listen you can at least respect why the other person has their opinion, who knows you may even learn something.

Do not complicate matters
Do not make life more complicated then it needs to be , it can be complicated enough without you helping. Same with your work place , strip it down and start to uncomplicate matters.
Start by trusting your gut and if someone seems shady or they seem like they are just out for themselves then limit your time with them and if you have to cut off your ties with them, they are only adding to your stress.
Live, work hard and try to laugh more, I know that sounds like pie in the sky crap but trust me if you make this your mantra and your goal and really bring it to your conscience every day you will start living it. And you start by leaving those negative people to their own little circle- you do not need them! Remember what life was like when you felt happy and smiled and laughed and get back there.
Uncomplicate your life.
Less is more...you do not need more and better and bigger - you just need a healthy life with the ones you love and trust around you- start today.
Life is what YOU want it to be -

Obvious
Sometimes what is obvious to you is not so obvious to others.
If you have a good work ethic and truly respect others you just cannot understand those that do have that in their DNA , and you can get frustrated that they not only do not have that same work ethic or respect for others, thus starts the rub or the hill you must climb.
The rub is what is so obvious to you is not to them so what do you do ? How can you stay focused on your job and work with people that you know are not of the same make up ?
Well you best find that bridge because they will always exist around you, there will always be people that only have their self interest at heart and are in positions that they they should not have because they did work their way up the ladder so get over it and learn to work with them. Maybe you have to lend a blind eye or leave it for another day or avoid them but you cannot allow their incompetence or low morals to effect you or your day.
If you are in management or are in charge of a crew the answer is different, if you have people that are working for you with a low bar for morality or a poor work ethic it is your job to try your best to show them what they are doing wrong and how to improve, you must be their coach .
If for whatever reason you cannot seem to get their attention you must replace them for their own good as well as yours.
If it is your manager or boss that is struck with this low work ethic or moral code then that becomes a bit more difficult, you still need to stay on the high road and do your job. If you can that while still under their umbrella then put your blinders on and move on but normally if you are working for someone with that mentality even if you get along with them today and they do not effect your job they may turn on you tomorrow, Because their sellfish gene dominates their other genes it can be hard to be loyal because their only true loyalty is to themselves.
Remember what may be obvious to you may not be to others so be patient, do your job and always try to build bridges.
If you are working for someone you do not respect or who may treat you ok but dis respects others then you may want to reevaluate your job. You can only truly grow if you believe in your leaders and your product so start to look for a plan B and make the move on your time table.
You deserve to be happy and work in a positive environment and for people that hold your same morals. Do not settle or comply..life is short..enjoy what you do and good things will come.
