Mindset: Playing the Hand You are Dealt

#TheBetterWay (e38) Mindset: Playing the Hand You are Dealt…

Play the hand you are dealt, NOT the hand you WISH you were dealt!

It’s all about Mindset! When life deals you a hand, the choice is yours whether to hold ’em or fold ’em.

All gamblers know every hand’s a winner, and every hand’s a loser.

Don’t fall for the “3 C’s of Victimhood” when dealt a bad hand. — C- ompare — C – omplain — C – Blame

Instead, ask yourself, “How can I take what was given to me and make the best of it?” or “What good can I turn this into for my benefit?

Your #MINDSET determines your personal outcome…regardless of the hand you are dealt!

…there is ALWAYS a Better Way!

#TheBetterWay (e34) Do What You Don’t Have To: A tale of Differentiation

We’ve all had exceptional experiences from a waiter that makes us laugh, a person taking our movie ticket telling us they like our taste in movies, or receiving an unexpected sincere compliment from a stranger that makes us smile and makes our day.

These are the little things that are not in our job description and that are done even though they don’t have to be done.

This week’s The Better Way Challenge is to share the little things you do that you don’t have to do that differentiates you from your peers.

Who knows…maybe someone can use your idea to bring a little joy into someone’s life and make a difference!
