Attitudes Flashcards
Favors
Like a bank account, always put in more than you take out, asking someone for a favor makes you overdrawn. Do things for them just for the positive ballance
Conversations
Really just negociations, they NEED something from you and you just WANT something from them. Your presence is more important than theirs.
Advice
Avoid it in either direction. YOU solve your problems (with research, not advice), not anyone else. And if you want to help someone with a problem, then say nothing, DO something for them.
Sacrafice
If you decide to do that, its YOUR business, not the recipiant’s, not your friends’. Do it- do it quietly- be done with it. Dont expect anything in return and dont bitch about the circumstances if things go south
Relationships
Always based on give-and-take. They NEED you and offer something in return; but as with all negociations, the key to success is knowing you can walk away and you’d be doing yourself a favor. And the best way to prove it, is by actually walking away- do that, and you win the relationship.
Bad news
Like the set up for a joke… You only have the first part, you need to wait for it to play out and it always plays out in your favor. Every bad thing thats ever happened, turned into good news for you.
Challenges
Object lessons (something to be thankful for). Record them, analyze them, learn a lesson and modify your principals and attitudes. If you dont learn, life is going to re-educate you again and again.
Mistakes
You, teaching yourself a lesson.
Identify why you made them, change your attitudes and principals… do not repeat.
Principals
The instruction manual for your life. Taken from blessings, challenges, and mistakes.
Success
The product of ABSOLUTE faith and manual labor
Work (Progress)
Its just God working through you
You cant really claim anything as your own accomplishment
You just show up, God does the rest
Faith
The key to getting what you want, even if it isn’t part of the plan, everytime (remember summer 2013?).
Only effective with work, but the work is useless without faith.
Three parts: 1) Ask, 2) Believe (stop asking, live/feel as if you have it alreadry), 3) Prepare (Get your life ready for it)
Goals
Think of them as the precognition of your destiny.
If you thought of it, and you want it, and that makes you happy, then you want it for a reason. That reason is usually that its part of your future.
Threats
Don’t make them, just act. Threats are empty 99% of the time. If they were going to do what they said, they wouldn’t have told you first. But its only true if you don’t point that out. So don’t say it, prove it: Calmly take away their ability to follow through and then do the opposite of what they want. If you cant take away their ability, give them a mildly disinterested “Alrighty then, you have fun with that.” They wont do something it wont effect you
Confidence
A huge component in faith
The key to developing contacts
