MCP = SUCCESS

The best three skills to solidify a great team is motivational, collaborative, and productive skills. It is evident we need to be able to read and write. Matter of fact look at the term productive. Arise from it is productivity. Productivity is what? A need in business. If you can read and write you are capable of retaining knowledge. If you can retain knowledge you are capable of thinking. If you can think than you can create ideas. If you can create ideas and they are good, you have productivity. 

Collaborative skills is highly abused. However, not being able to communicate and understand your team can minimize the capabilities of any task placed before them. Everyone needs to be on the same page. It's a well known fact most companies who stay in business have a team who is loyal and willing to learn. They are willing to work together and put forth their strengths and weaknesses to build a more solid foundation. I believe if we put ourselves in positions for the right reasons we flourish. Negative impact will have no statue. Just being able to say "hi" is highly important. Influence is not based on how silent you are. Someone has to speak.

The third skill is the most important. I truly believe motivational skills is number one. I believe without this skill,  businesses will not flourish. It is time to start motivating.  

Impossible Possibilities

What is impossible if all is possible?  Is it ourselves who place impossible on the possibility? Many will beg to differ. I don't agree or disagree.  What I have learned is that constraints are self made. 

Do You Know Who You Are?

When you look in the mirror, what do you truly see? How do you feel about what is staring back at you? When I was a little girl, I never looked in the mirror and admired myself. There was a time I passed most mirrors and when I would do my hair, I always would put it in one ponytail because I just did not feel like standing there and taking the time to do it. I would say two minutes tops. LOL.

And I would go to school everyday with that same hairstyle. To get to the point, I forgot to face me.
 

It was not any easy task and it was not something easy to handle. It was a battle and a journey well fought by me. I went through many roller coasters and train rides and I traveled through many jungles, but I learned a lot along the way. I learned me. I lived me. I dealt with me. I looked in the mirror. I know who I am.

For those of you who have experienced this moment and never told a soul, I salute you. For those who have shared their story, I salute you. For those of you who know what I am saying but do not have the guts to deal with it, every night I will pray for you. For those of you who do not have a clue about what I am saying, every night I will pray for you.

Managing me, being the complicated person I am, has been complex. However, I do what any well trained manager would do, I continue to find the root cause of each and every single issue. I always hear so many people say how blessed and happy they are. I listen to people speak of feeling complete. However, I believe we guard those words too much. Being complete does not mean a person has it all together, it just means they understand how to get it together. The next time you are about to lie down and go to bed, stop and look in the mirror. Ask yourself, "What do I truly see?"

I SEE YOU

I look around and I see such innocent and delicate moments. I see moments that are raw and I love it. Seeing leaves fall from a tree caused by the wind is raw. I have found myself busy working and forget to take a moment to look out the window. At the end of the night when I would get ready to leave, I would realize not once did I look up. I missed the day. I know now to look around and I make sure to see such innocent and delicate moments. It's worth it.

NEVER GIVE UP

Tough times are not meant to break you. Tough times help you and teach you things that you did not know and understand. Tough times help you to seek what it is you have been missing. Tough times create concerns and questions that you demand answers for. Tough times are knowledge gaining times.

Tough times inspire you and force you to be focused. Tough times make you think. Tough times create experiences that you will never forget. Tough times speak truth and help you become wiser. Tough times create new found meaning to your life. Tough times bring new people in your life.

Tough times are inspiring. Tough times are emotional. Tough times are enriching to who you need to become and who you have become. Tough times are not to be taken lightly. Tough times are well worth it. Tough times create history.

Tough times are stepping stones and having the ability to overcome these moments is the best feeling you can endure. Tough times give you strength. Tough times gives you power. Tough times are new found visions. Tough times helps you to never give up. Tough times force you to change.

Tough times are never good experiences but they are experiences we have all had and will have more than once in our lifetime. However, we must never forget during these tough times, that we are irreplaceable. We must never forget that we are worthy and to always fight with faith and love.

Tough times can not defeat you unless you let it. How do you handle your tough times?

NEEDs

How many needs does the average human being have? No one knows and it would take years of research and observation to figure it out. And why? Because our needs are infinite. People need to go to work. People need to eat. People need to drive to work and not walk. People need, need, need. It never ends. The entire day is surrounded with needs. In all the chaos of needs, there are two very important needs: love and respect.

I can not tell you how many times I have heard people say that all we need is love. I agree. However, there are an infinite number of needs that make up love. How much love you have inside you determines so much about the kind of person you are.  However, it is not the same in all of us, but that is okay because it creates identity separation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with how you express your need; it is about the response you give to others and how your action was presented.

See, the response is of vital importance to the reaction that is following. The reaction that is following will seem questionable, but learn to love it. Learn to appreciate anothers' thought whether you agree or disagree. Learn to understand and respond with reassurance. Reassurance creates an abundance of love.

 I believe that a need can shift a person into a different state of mind. How a person think and feel about an issue or situation forms how they act and the person receiving the action react. So here comes the need to be respected: It is very vital to deny a person to feel as though reacting a specific way is wrong. It is very vital however how you react. It is extremely vital for whatever the cause was, that began the respect cycle.



The respect cycle is a process of events that can occur in a conversation creating a positive or negative outlook. This cycle can go two ways good or bad. Which way do you prefer? This moment all depends on your reaction to the person reacting to the cause. It creates exactly which way the respect cycle is going to go. How do you respond?

The Fight

It is impossible to forget and it is easy to remember. It is intriguing to understand. But, how many people truly understand the fundamentals of examinating and reconstructing us? Memories are fascinating, but they are all not always beautiful and in need of keeping. And I use to ask myself why, but I learned early in my life, that every moment in life, there is a choice to make. That choice is something we have to live with forever. The challenge that need a choice made is not an issue because of the path we chose to take. Now, do not argue with the challenge. Focus on the memory. In the memory lies the choice we made. Remember the choice is something we have to live with forever. The choice is critical to the memory and the memory is deteriorating to the choice. The choice you make is impossible to forget and easy to remember. The memory a person creates is impossible to forget and easy to remember.

Okay, we do forget. That is because memory deteriorated the choices creating one final choice which is impossible to forget and easy to remember. In the business world we strive based on the answers given to us by data. That data we analyze creates the alternatives we choose. But what if we did not use data and did not focus on the patterns from our past experiences. What if we focused on present change and present outcomes? When many of our multi-million dollar companies first began, they did not rely on computing data to create facts and decision making tools for advancement. They went with a hunch and the small community values that lied within. Why is it so important now to intrigue the mind with more than just an idea when ideas and hunches created the very foundation in which we live in?
