Creativity is unlimited. I know that it can FEEL like you're out of ideas. It can FEEL like there's just no inspiration left to solve a problem, achieve a goal, or build a team. But ideas are limitless. High performance leaders open themselves up. They expose themselves to new ideas in fields completely unrelated to their business, just to tease up some unusual combinations and connections. Do what you can to stay creative. Do everything you can to stay creative. You've never used up your last idea. There are always more. -- Doug Smith

Goals require change. Big projects force us into areas of uncertainty. Growth can feel uncertain. Setting a noble, powerful goal is essential AND so is the work to bring it about. We will experience resistance to our most powerful goals and sometimes that resistance comes from within. Resist the resistance and power thru. The outcome depends on your work. We might love the goal and still resist the changes that it requires. Recognize your resistance and let it go. It only stands in your way.

Even a reluctant leader can become a better leader. -- Doug Smith

Why would any leader try to suppress a good idea? It's because they don't think it IS a good idea, isn't it? Or maybe it's because they need all of the ideas to be THEIR ideas. Or maybe they are not thinking it thru. There is no point to it. Holding a good idea down will likely strengthen its wings inviting it to fly somewhere else. Then, freed, it can't help you. Open up to those wild ideas. Let your creative side prosper and teach your other sides to listen. Suppressing a good idea is only temporary control. Let go. -- Doug Smith

It's real once you set a goal for it.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   The goals that matter shatter barriers.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   If you let someone else tell you what your goals are, don't complain if they don't please you.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   Achieving your goals is one of your top priorities.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   It's not just a wish if you're working on it -- it's a goal to achieve.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   Like it or not you may be remembered as a leader by how successful you were at achieving your goals.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   We achieve our goals in order to achieve our mission.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   When our goals energize us it's easier to energize others. -- Doug Smith What goal are you working on today?

"Set the kind of goals that will make something of you to achieve them." -- Jim Rohn Are you working on yourself today?  How about this week? There are no days available to skip working on yourself. Learning is a lifetime and daily assignment. What have you learned today?  That's my favorite question and I ask it several times a day because I do expect to learn MORE than one thing. There's so much to learn. So many goals to realize. It's time to get started, or if you're already in motion (good for you!) to keep going. Relentlessly. Set big, noble, challenging goals. And then? Then get to work! -- Doug Smith
