I say two things to myself before my feet hit the floor in the morning… one of which is, Be Great and Have some fun today! I used to say, “Let’s be Great!” Until I realized there were a lot of people being Great, but not having any fun… and how sad that is to see. What a shame to achieve your definition of success, whether at a job, your own business, sports, or life and be miserable. Therefore, I added… “and have some fun today!” Leaders understand “Fun” can be dangerous standing by itself; because the truth is there are too many people having fun and not being great!
Greatness must be defined by you and leaders understand greatness may sound like the end goal however it’s really the process you discipline yourself with regarding your thinking, your daily actions, and connections with others that eventually become who you are and THAT makes you great and allows the achievements they world will recognize and reward you for!
I say to myself, my kids every morning, and before whatever event is big to them… “Be great and have some fun today!” Now I say it to you!!!
