I heard a "<\/a>motivational coach" once say that people need quick coaching.  In a sound-bite<\/a> world like ours, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe he thinks that if it takes longer than ten minutes, people won't move.  Is this true for you?  Are you restless? In some ways it is true, but I think its more a matter of leaders not giving people substance and candor. Clarity goes a long way in the creation of energy. People rise or fall on the expectations of the leader. And certainly he or she's time spent in helping a follower matters. <\/p>\n

In my experience, nothing has come easy or overnight…no matter how much I wished it would have.  The truth of what the term "long run" means, applies hear. You probably get that reality is far different than fantasy and we avoid the ugly truth of waiting like the plague. <\/p>\n

We claim we're too busy to spend more than ten minutes to grow ourselves.  It's as if life is lived half-empty. What a mistake!  I think most are just lost and not sure where to go.  They've given up on their dreams and are accepting a poor imitation.  Titles, money, power and the like won't fill up the vacuum inside you.  Human beings were not wired to be fulfilled by the titles, money and power.  Titles, money and power were designed to be used for the benefit of others…that's the only way they can be held in check.<\/p>\n

Think about the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is what you're chasing really that important? <\/li>\n
  2. Are your relationships suffering or growing because of what you're chasing? <\/li>\n
  3. Why can't you give more than ten minutes (if that describes you) to the gift of life? <\/li>\n
  4. Do you really know what your priorities are?<\/li>\n
  5. Do you realise that its not all about you (see A Note from Bosses to Employees<\/a> post from Execupundit<\/a>)?<\/li>\n
  6. Do you know that all of us are terminal?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
