Tips For Life: Improving From Yesterday by Bryan L. Welton, Jr.

Rather than add things to your life to do better, it is often more effective to subtract the things that stop your progress.  May I suggest 4 things to subtract that can dramatically open and expand our vision.

Fear of Failure:  Failing is not always bad; often, it forces us to be creative.  We know we have overcome before, so we keep a positive outlook.

Blaming:  If you feel you aren’t progressing, who do you blame?  Find that thing or person and figure out a way to stop the blaming.

Complaining:  Solutions or recommendations go a lot farther than complaints.  Complaining only frustrates the situation and expresses emotion, but avoids resolution.

Justification.  Too often we find ourselves comforted by simple words of justification from within.  The best way to succeed is to compete with ourselves each day, to be better than we were yesterday as an individual, a team and a company.
