Own Your OWN GRATITUDE

During times of unease or uncertainty it is easy to go insular and forget about the people around you. It is important to own your own gratitude, both externally and internally.

We need to OWN that GRATITUDE. What is it that we appreciate about ourselves? What is it that we thank ourselves for doing? What are we grateful for every single day?

Because it’s important to be kind to ourselves, and it’s important, and even more important, to be kind to other people.

Own Your OWN GRATITUDE

Here are three ways that you can provide that GRATITUDE to people around you and for yourself.

1. Send a message to at least one person per day to say thank you and show your appreciation.

2. Write down one thing you did well today and why?

3. Note one thing you can do tomorrow that will make someone feel happier?

Active CEO Performance Tip

Create A Ripple Effect With PURPOSE – Have you become too focused on yourself and you don’t feel fulfilled. Focus on something bigger than just yourself. Determine what your companies or your own real purpose is in life. Your why or your companies why? What work can you do to serve that purpose and leave a positive mark or dent on the world? 3 questions to ask yourself – 1. What makes you come alive? 2. What are your innate strengths? 3. Where do you add greatest value? NOW IF YOU ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO IDENTIFY YOUR WHY here are 3 more questions to ask yourself: 1. What do people come to ask for help on and thank you for? 2. What would do you love doing that you would do everyday without a paycheck? 3. If you found out that you only had one year left, what would you imagine yourself doing? Its time for you to do some self reflection and find clarity on your why!

Tweets

“80% of what we did is mapped out, whereas the 20% we had to make decisions, we were able to do that, because the basics were all looked after.” The precision of a fighter pilot with Christian Boucousis, on the active CEO Podcast.

active CEO Podcast 95 LIve Your OWN STORY Craig Johns Breaking The CEO Code

Live Your OWN STORY

What is your unique reality in the past, now & in the future?

You are in control of your own narrative. You get to write the story!

Many people are living someone else’s life or reality. On social media, everyone seems to have either an incredibly amazing or absolutely terrible life. Most of the time its an inauthentic life.

What is Your uniqueness, your unique self? We all have many amazing stories, things we can learn from, teach other people, and improve the way we react or behave in similar situations in the future.

You own your own stories, no one else has lived them and they are unique to you. Take full grasp and ownership of those unique stories.

What is your unique reality in the past, what story are you living now and what is your future vision?

Live Your OWN STORY

3 questions I would like you to ask yourself today:

  1. Am I living my own life or someone else’s rules?
  2. Are you content with your past or is it holding you back?
  3. How can I own the narrative, the story in my head, and be in control of my future story?

Are you ready to Live Your OWN STORY?
