The 12 rules of lasting success

Posted by on Feb 4, 2013

These “simple” rules can take a lifetime to master, but they’re well worth the effort. Make them your daily operating procedure and watch the success unfold.

START THE DAY RIGHT.
Figure out what puts you in a positive frame of mind, and make it your morning ritual.

EXPECT GOOD THINGS.
Keep that glass half full by choosing faith and hope over cynicism and skepticism.

TAKE TIME TO BE AWED.
Look through the lens of appreciation and see all that is going right in your workplace.

LIVE A MISSION.
When completing those everyday tasks and projects, see how they contribute to a greater good.

DELIVER EXCELLENCE.
Every job involves service to someone, so serve them well by setting a high standard every day.

MAKE PLENTY OF FRIENDS.
Every workplace is its own community, so reach across the fence, meet your neighbors, and build your network.

SHOW UP ON TIME.
Lower your stress and boost your reputation by being reliably prompt.

BE INCLINED TO SAY YES.
When requests, offers, and invitations come your way, look for every reason to accept.

EXERCISE YOUR STRENGTHS.
You’re good at many things, and you’ll get even better by putting those strengths to work.

SEEK OPPORTUNITY IN ADVERSITY.
When times get tough, search the situation for something to learn or some other way to benefit.

FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE.
Enjoy solitude and social time, work and play, activity and rest, indoors and outdoors…all in the same day…in measures that bring you fulfillment.

LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY.
As the sun sets, reflect on your day and identity one discovery you can put to work tomorrow.
