Message from Qui-Gon Jinn
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 07/17/23
Happy Monday!
Is it really mid-summer already? I try not to give attention to that - - but the retailers sure make it a challenge when they already have school supplies and fall decor hitting the shelves!
It’s practically perfect timing for this quote from a galaxy far, far away. You don’t need to be a Star Wars fan to gain something from the wisdom of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. In Star Wars: Episode I, he says this to young Anakin:
Your focus determines your reality. This statement is similar to what I teach: your thoughts create your results.
Basically – what you focus on, where you put your energy and what thoughts you allow to drive your actions will highly influence what shows up around you.
Have you ever thought about buying a new car? After doing some research, you narrow it down to a make and model (maybe even a color!). Before the research, you probably hadn’t seen the car in the wild much. But all of a sudden…you start seeing that car everywhere! You didn’t notice before – but because it’s occupied your brain space - - - there it is. In the parking lot at Target, at the stop light by your kids’ school, zipping past you on the highway. Everywhere!
The same is true for your leadership and your business. If you focus on the two employees who are not supporting a change you’re driving, your reality will be a less-than-successful change….and you’ll miss out on the energy that the other 30 employees are bringing (side note: don’t take that to mean you ignore the two employees….let’s talk – I have strategies for all of it 😀).
If you focus on how big your to-do list is and the overwhelming feeling that there is never enough time – you will likely continue to swirl in the overwhelm instead of creating a mindset that allows you to get things done.
✨ When you make a conscious decision on where to put your focus – you are setting yourself up for intentional actions that will lead to desired results. ✨
Which is why I will choose not to focus on the end of summer being just around the corner, but instead – I’ll focus on the beauty of the remaining summer weeks still ahead. 🙌
This week – decide on one thing you will give intentional focus to. Set yourself up for this focus every day and evaluate at the end of the week. What results did you create?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
