This week is about being responsible for what we bring to the table with our actions and emotions. Relationships should not be transactional having the mindset if they do this then I’ll do that. You cannot control the other persons actions or emotions BUT you have 100% control over your actions and emotions. You choose how you show up in each interaction you have today. So how are you going to choose to show up?
Easy:
Change your mindset from 50/50 to 100/100. Give 100% effort to the relationship. If you both only try for 50 you will always fall short of 100. If you both try to hit the 100, you will more than likely always be above the 100.
Medium:
Keep your side of the street clean. Meaning worry about what you can control and do versus what other people aren’t doing. You cannot control other people so stop trying to.
Hard:
Be intentional with every interaction you have. If you walk into a room in a bad mood you will bring everyone else’s mood down. If you walk into the room smiling you will probably make someone else smile. We can’t control how others feel, but we do have influence with how we show up.
