I think of the pilots who focused on a light, losing the big picture, and impacted the terrain. Not pretty. We always need to maintain the big picture.

Sometimes we plug away so long at the immediate task, we also lose sight of the whole picture. Focusing on the big picture helps us find those solutions instead of getting stuck in the problem.

This should be taught in aviation schools. These are words from a true leader. A Leader is a Mentor. A Mentor has Character. A Leader is never aggressive with his own opinions unless it is extremely necessary, because he behaves with style. Be the Leader of your Life. Be the Captain of your Life. Focus and be confident, not overconfident because it isn't good and makes you inflexible to adapt to the circumstances (it is also inelegant and unprofessional) . Look straight ahead and see things in a simpler way and never have the perspective of impossibility. And you know what? If you fail, that is not a problem if you know how stand up again and keep walking... This is also the point of focusing and being a Leader, right? This is the kind of people our industry needs.

But the interesting thing is sometimes it's not what is really happening, but how we interpret what is happening. <br /><br />I know we can unlearn this behavior called worry.

I love that! Some people have a MUCH harder time compartmentalizing than others, and that antichrist, worry, can consume them. It's hard to watch, and even harder to feel if it ever happens to you. I wonder if it's nurture or nature???Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464543671077860561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-58620605740118762212013-02-18T04:28:22.913-08:002013-02-18T04:28:22.913-08:00Karlene, two words: POWER POST!!!

They focus on the failures and not what they have in the present and focus for the future. The power of worry is like a cancerous tumour that grows within a person's brain. It is very destructive and yes I was born with chronic worry syndrome however I am correcting that successfully thanks to the of posts like these.
