Check your gut and thoughts

Check - 765

No matter how upset you get about the actions or behaviors of others, it will not change anything. The only person you have control over is yourself, and if you are so busy being upset over the behavior of someone else then you have just given that person power over you. Another person cannot make you upset without your consent. Check your gut and thoughts when this happens to see what you are focusing on. Each time you allow another person to get under your skin, you are choosing to give up control over your life. You need to decide what you are willing to do to get what you want. Allowing people to put you down only makes life harder on yourself. When we walk or run we have to go around curves and over ups or downs and it is quite round about, do not always try to please others rather speak your mind.

In a business unit performance review of CEO, the division presents growth in a single digit almost nearer to two digit figure and everyone in the room applaud while the top management nods about the performance and you know that there is lot that can be done in that division. You know with your gut but you do not want to speak because your comments may lead to conclusion that you are not a team player. It is true that speaking your mind definitely scares people out at first instance, that is the risk, and only you can do that if you are willing to take that risk. Most do not speak their mind and rather become a part of the game again and again so that it does not hurt us.
