Beliefs

It seems like every day I meet new people that are afflicted with negative thoughts or beliefs that are keeping them down.  This negativity fosters more negativity if left unchecked.  They look around their world and say if only some one would give me a shot I could prove myself.  I challenge them to TAKE the shot and prove themselves to themselves.  Once they prove themselves internally then others will see their worth.

Recently I was sitting in a meeting where two associates where trying share their concerns.  One said “We only got three of these in.”  They other replied “That can’t be – I ordered four and they only come in sets of two.  You must have lost them…”  The second associate wouldn’t consider the fact that the vendor might have made a mistake and only shipped three, for she thought that would make her look bad – since she was responsible to insuring that four were there.  She staunchly defended her position and the problem went unresolved. 

Later I approached her and coached her on this situation and on how her negative beliefs had motivated her one sided response.  Later I brought the two back together to discuss it once more.  This time when she was told that only three were delivered she only asked that they reconfirm that only three were delivered and in the meantime she would call the vendor.  Like magic the first associate said he would be happy to reconfirm the delivery and even came up with a couple more places to look for the missing piece ‘just in case.’

These two were battling with internal beliefs that they were going to look bad if their area buy cheap Parlodel online of responsibility was at fault so in turn they were doing everything they could to push the blame elsewhere.  Once one stopped believing negatively and pushing a one sided battle – immediately the finger pointing subsided and they began to work together towards the same goal.

This is the power of your beliefs – they will work for you or against you in your life, at your job – every where.  So, in tomorrow’s blog post I will to share with you some thoughts on how to empower your beliefs so you can…THINK SUCCESSFULLY & TAKE ACTION!
