Hi there, I’m Jeff Arthur with The Values Conversation here to talk about personal growth and what is it that we’re really in control of. I don’t know about you in your life, but if you think about it what are the things that I really can control? What are the things that I really am able to direct in whatever? When you start thinking about it there’s not much. I recently read how no matter what situation, no matter what circumstance when you boil it all down there are two things that we are in charge of, that we can control at all times, attitude, effort. You boil it all down, no matter what the circumstances or situation is we can control two things, what my attitude is and what my effort is.
I think that is tremendous for us to understand, and I want you to listen to this podcast a thousand times to get that in our head, to recognize that I can’t control what they do, or what they say, or what they think, or what this happens, or anything else, but I can control my attitude for the day. This is going to be a fantastic day that I can control my effort. I’m going to give 100% today. I promise to give my best, that’s the effort that I can control. You’re going to get my absolute best, whether that’s my spouse, my children, my employment, my business, whatever it is. I can control my attitude, I can control my effort. My question to you is, “How much of that are you giving every day to the people around you?” My name is Jeff Arthur.
