👉 Thursday's Inspirational Thought of the Day 👈 “The opposite of arrogance is humility, which is a common trait found in people who are liked and admired the most by others!” A definition of humility. Humility is the quality of being modest, respectful, and unassuming. It involves recognizing and acknowledging one's limitations, being open to others' opinions and ideas, and not thinking of oneself as superior to others. Humility often means having an accurate self-assessment without an inflated sense of pride or arrogance. It's about being willing to learn, accepting feedback, and appreciating the strengths and contributions of others.

"Finding Balance: The Power of Humility in Words." Reflecting on my life, I realize something surprising. Life often takes us down unexpected paths. As I sit down to write my first LinkedIn post, I feel compelled to share a sentiment that has quietly shaped my perspective - humility with words. In the fast-paced world of professional communication, humility is sometimes overlooked. We're often encouraged to highlight our expertise, achievements, and assertiveness. However, in this dynamic landscape, I've learned to appreciate the profound impact of humility, especially in how we express our thoughts. Humility with words goes beyond just choosing the right language. It's about recognizing the diversity of perspectives, understanding that every interaction is a chance to learn and connect. It involves finding the delicate balance between confidence and modesty, where the strength of words isn't in their volume but in their resonance. As I jot down these thoughts, I realize its significance. I never thought my first LinkedIn post would explore humility, but life has a way of guiding us toward essential truths. Here's to the quiet strength of humble words – a catalyst for genuine connections and continuous learning. As we navigate our paths, let's not only share our successes but also the wisdom that comes from embracing humility in our expression. #HumilityWithWords

The many benefits of praise stretch beyond the person you are complimenting – to the person who is giving the kudos. The mere act of praise exercises your brain’s ability to look for the positive, countering an intrinsic survival instinct bias that we have, to focus on the negatives as we remain alert for potential dangers. Here, Linda Robson MInstCPD, Jason Rosoff and Julia Shallcrass not only break down how to give positive feedback - but how to do it well: https://ow.ly/6Ryw50THot3 👈  Written by Luke Dodemaide. #Feedback #Acuity #WorkplaceCulture

Judgements. Judgements everywhere. Not a single one to believe. 😉 🧠In your head, " gosh she is .." 🤵♂️In a meeting, "Oh, one of my employee is..." 🤷♂️In a dinner, " Oh, have you seen x .... 🤦♀️In a shopping centre , "Oh what a dress ... 👉We spend our time passing judgements at various instances, in different roles either on others or ourselves! 🤙Why we do so? Brene brown, a shame researcher says: 🤨We judge people in areas where we’re vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we’re doing. 🔅If I feel good😍 about my parenting, I have no interest in judging other people’s choices. 🔅If I feel good🥰 about my body, I don’t go around making fun of other people’s weight or appearance. 🫵We’re hard on each other because we’re using each other as a launching pad out of our own perceived deficiency.” 🙌So, at the end are you actually passing a judgement or are you being vulnerable🤔? 👊How to overcome this very contagious bad habit: 1️⃣Ask yourself is this a fact or a judgement? 2️⃣Is it something you can assist to solve rather than just talking abt it? 3️⃣Is it true or an assumption- do we have enough facts? 4️⃣Is this about your weaknesses or the person's weaknesses? ✅️You will see the awesome shift from a scarecity mindset🤜 to an abundance mindset.🫶 ✌️If you are always striving to be right or superior, you truly missing on the essence of humanity- we all are enough and have enough in our own ways. 😘 💪Lets engage in MAKING a DIFFERENCE rather than TALKING about DIFFERENCES. Game in? Feel free to judge this.post. 😋😋😋 #bemore #webeforeme #authenticleadership.

Monitor Your Internal Dialogue Andy Frisella talking to a crowd Achieving greatness requires real conviction and confidence in yourself. Which means if you want to be great... You have to constantly monitor and correct your internal dialogue. In the moments when you find yourself questioning your ability... Doubting yourself... Accepting defeat... Or creating limitations for yourself and your life... You have to be very intentional about disputing this narrative and changing it to one that serves you instead of limits you. Most people allow their thoughts and internal talk track to run rampant which confines them to a life they hate. Chances are... You know a lot of these people too. Pay attention to how they talk about themselves and their lives. Then learn to recognize and address these same self-defeating thoughts in yourself. All winners have built this skill. Instead of allowing their internal dialogue to be the reason why they can't win... They flip the script and bury these thoughts 10 feet deep through their self-belief and execution. So can you. It all starts with how you choose to talk to yourself. ****——AndyFrisella——**** #positivityprevails #nonegativity #trillionairemindset #billionairelifestyle

A humble person is focused on where they are going and what is directly in front of them; an arrogant person focuses on what they are getting. This makes the humble person more focused on the present than the arrogant one. This also makes it easier for the humble person to see their path and the big picture, as well as what the next indicated action is. You will find that, if you are paying attention, the Universe makes it abundantly clear what to do next. Today, do your best to focus on the task at hand, whatever it is. Do not think too far forward, or about what this will get you. Trust that, for today, the Universe will put what you need to do and focus on directly in front of you. In return, you will allow yourself to do these tasks and focus on them. If you find yourself worrying or chewing on things or otherwise not being present, gently bring yourself back to the task at hand. The more you do these things, the more humble or “right-sized” you become. #Focus #Trust #Humility

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”--Viktor E. Frankl (Man’s Search for Meaning) A profound set of words from a very wise man. At the same time, unlike what's said about not allowing what's happening outside of you to influence and/or impact what's happening within you, it's a Herculean task. Most people believe that because they're going through their own hardships, the world will understand and empathize with them, while they can go ahead and use people as their punching bags. Two simple concepts are lost on people: One, your problems aren't a justification for your bad behavior, and two, behave with people the way you'd have them behave with you. I believe it takes a lot of strength and courage to be that person who takes accountability for their behavior with people, known or unknown, every day. We encounter such behavior every day, and while it might be easy to tell ourselves to disregard it, everything in life has a threshold. When we're constantly at war with ourselves, a little bit of kindness from those around us can work wonders for how we view the world, and uplift us, even if it's temporary. In a world degrading rapidly, hope people use their sense and intelligence to comprehend something so simple. #changesituation #changeourselves #challenges #behavior #accountability #strength #courage #kindness

You can never be liked by everyone. Don't waste your time trying to please everyone, it is impossible. Moreover, it is a sign of LOW SELF-ESTEEM. If you know and respect yourself so much you won't want to be a people pleaser. A people pleaser is someone who tries to please people even at his detriment. Learn to say NO when need be. If you can't say no to people you say no to yourself, to your values, to what is more important. Validate yourself, stop seeking for validation from others. "It is more important to be trusted and respected than to be liked" Stephen Covey. We must learn to stick to our personal convictions and not do things just to be liked. #selfconfidence #personaldevelopment #corevaluesmatter #growthmindset
