“He’s smart and patient. It’s in a sniper’s DNA.”

The headline? Leroy Jethro Gibbs said that. Yep, THAT Gibbs. The one we know and love on NCIS.

Teachers. Business people. Creatives. Leaders. We all need a degree of smartness. And patience.

The world is full of smart people. It seems to me there are far more smart people than patient people. Fewer still are those who are smart and patient.

Two Things That Make Us Who We Are

“For as he thinketh within himself, so is he,” says Proverbs 23:7. Some misconstrue the meaning. Most famous among them, Napoleon Hill who penned “Think And Grow Rich.” Yes, folks can become rich by first thinking about becoming rich, but don’t we know of many folks who think of little else – and they’re poor as can be? If we only had to sit around and think of being rich, then wouldn’t we all be rich?

That’s not to say the proverb is untrue. Generally speaking, a proverb is true. Yes, there may be exceptions. We see it in the person full of self-doubt, fear and reluctance – but still they achieve things others only dream of. Typically, people who become high achievers are people who have a strong belief in their own capacity to achieve.

Does it mean we can do anything we set our minds to? Hardly. Like it or not, we have limitations.

Millions of people enter each work day hopeful. Hopeful that today will be better than yesterday. Hopeful that yesterday’s problems will grow smaller.

You know the adage, “Hope is not a strategy.” It’s a great saying, but sadly, for too many people it’s not true. Hope is the only strategy some people employ.

And it’s not because they’re stupid or foolish.

Many people don’t how to do it any other way. Day after day they hope. Some days it works out. Many days, it doesn’t.

Today’s show has one goal – to help you learn how to get started. I’ll warn you there are no secrets and no super easy shortcuts. But everybody can improve. Everybody can start.

Think of your life as a resource. A limited resource. We’ll start with that truth and move onto a few practical tips anybody can implement today – right now – to start feeling better about their work because they’ll be more effective. It’s not just about feeling better. It’s about doing better, which makes us feel better.

Let me know if this helps. I’d love to hear your feedback.
