Make every day as productive as the day before you go on vacation. People will try to rain on your parade because they have no parade of their own. Resolve how you can, not lament why you can't. Forgive and go forward. Until you clear the past you are destined to repeat it.
Self talk equals self performance.
That is what you will become. Spend 15-minutes a day focusing on a positive picture. You will hear the word no 116,000 times in your lifetime. What you do off the job determines what you are likely to do on the job. Strengthen your weaknesses and strengthen your strengths at the same time.
