Very few proactively design their environment. Hardy quotes Dr. Marshall Goldsmith which neatly sums up his views &#8211; \u201c if you do not create and control your environment, your environment creates and controls you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He lists 20 attributes that he applies. Some seem totally logical (and you would have heard them from many other). Some super moralistic (Gandhi \/ Martin Luther Kid Jr type, but makes sense). And some out of thin air. Sample these :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Do what is right let the consequence follow<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Creativity Banishes Recurring Thoughts&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; This one is very interesting &#8211; Hardy quotes a National Science Foundation article that showed that an average person has between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day. Of these 80% are negative and 95% are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before. If you get things done, remove recurring thoughts, you open yourself up for new opportunities.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>100% is easier than 98%<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; This is about giving in. If you do it once, there is nothing stopping you from doing it again. \u201c<strong><em>Decide what you stand for. And then stand for it all the time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>\u2014 Clayton Christensen<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Success precedes Confidence<\/strong><em>&#8211; \u201c Confidence is the thing entrepreneurs need to protect more than anything else.\u201d Dan Sullivan.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a wonderful thought provoking article. Allows for a lot of reflection. While thinking of yourself and your values and culture &#8211; give it a read. It will help open your mind to possibilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to the article below.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These 20 Pictures Will Teach You More Than Reading 100&nbsp;Books&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2L9io65\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2L9io65<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find my earlier posts in this series check this link.
