Perfection Lessons at Work from my Grandson

Hello Everyone,

Today is a super day because I am spending time with my grandson in NYC. After the peacefulness of Arizona, the hustle and bustle of New York City is invigorating. More important are the lessons I'm learning from Jake about attitude and success. This little 16 month old just knows how to focus. He's learned that multi-tasking doesn't work. Yes, at this age his attention span may be short but he never tries to do more than one thing at a time and he is completely successful and rewarded when he finishes what he is doing. Even if it's not perfect he smiles and is so proud of himself.  Isn't it time we see ourselves in this way?

He's just started to walk and his balance gets better by the hour because he falls and gets up and keeps trying. Nothing stops him. I don't see him beating on himself for not being perfect. Jake just tries and tries  and gets better and better. Can we say the same for ourselves or do we play mindgames that berate us for not being perfect or getting it right the first time? When we change our mindset and practice new behaviors many successful things start to happen.

The next time you are around children watch them and see what you can pick up about success and creating it.

Have a great day,

Arlene
