Who Am I Listening To...
I watch Squawk Box on CNBC every morning while eating breakfast. They always have guests addressing different topics relative to the market and the economy. It has certainly been easy to fill the schedule with people whose outlook is bleak and saying we are heading toward disaster. I can get the same from the Evening news, my local news and even the radio station I listen to in the car. Even around the water cooler the natural drift will be toward the negative and what bad things are going to happen next.
How crucial is it that we are selective in what we listen to. We can’t live in denial and not have our eyes open to the realities around us...but it is equally important that we balance the negative with the positive if we are going to encourage and lead those around us. The darker the hour the more we need light and those around us need hope.
Listen to those who have maturity and wisdom in order to keep present fears in perspective.
Seek out those who have vision and are focused on the future so that you are charting a course toward success.
Become the voice of reason and hope so that those around you will be encouraged. That attitude starts with you and needs to permeate your entire organization so that you can thrive and not just survive
