If You Say It Then Do It

Good communication is so vital in any type of business environment. The main reason is simple. Communication either builds or breaks down trust. It is that simple. You must do what you say you are going to do. If you don't it will be kept track of in the conscious or subconscious mind. You can bet on it.

So the idea of you can "fake it until you make it" or you can use "smoke and mirrors" to make something better than what it is does not work in the end. It may work for a short time. It may help you reach the quick fix or short term goals but it does not sustain your credibility. At the end of the day credibility or trust is ALL you have. You can make a ton of money, can have a huge network of casual friends or connections or everything your selfish heart desires. In the end of it all when you are in your own "quiet times" when no one is around you cannot fake yourself out.

There are enough ups and downs in life. When we are up there is no need to make a change or fully embrace this concept. But, when we are down this is when the lights go on in the hidden corners of your heart and mind. The light exposes the you to the real you. So which you are you by yourself? Which one are you when others are around? Are they different?

If there are more than one you, why? What are you hiding from? What are you not comfortable with? Name it and start working on it, today! It feels better when it is embraced by you. Change is good. It is right. It is human. It actually feels good. Change something today.

Is it Friday already? I am not really ready for this week to be over. I don't want to let it go. I have rustled the fields so much this week, I want to see what it will produce. I cannot wait. Patience is my issue. I like to see results as soon as possible. I am working to slow down and enjoy the process more than the results. It may take me some time but I really want to get there.

Don't you hate it when you spill your coffee on your way to work? I do. I really don't know why I have to drink my coffee in a ceramic mug but I do. I think it tastes better but that may just be an excuse. My coffee is not just brown but VERY DARK brown. When I spill it in my 4runner, it really shows. Fortunately today I just spilled it in the change holder. My stash of quarters got soaked with coffee, thankfully not my floor like yesterday.

Spilling coffee reminds me of a poem:

Coffee today, coffee spill
Oh the loss, oh my will.
What's next here and there
Will it be my tear?

Like a drop lost but really found
Why do I sip, why this hour?
Keep drinking here least for now
As upon my day the world goes round.

Let's Get Started!
