Just finished reading an article in Fortune on the Google
guys and all their economic success. It inspired a torrent
of ideas. It got me thinking about the importance of showing
up fully at work – giving the fullness of your brilliance
and playing full out. Being widely passionate about your TO
Dos. Being breathtakingly committed to your big projects
and best opportunities. Being a rock star in whatever you
do each day to put bread on your table.
Work gives meaning to our lives. It influences our self worth
and the way we perceive our place under the sun. Being great
at what you do isn’t just something you do for the organization
you work for – it’s a gift you give yourself.
Being spectacularly great at your work promotes personal respect,
excitement and just makes your life a lot more interesting.
Good things happen to people who do good things. And when
you bring your highest talents and deepest devotion to the
work you do, what you are really doing is setting yourself
up for a richer, happier and more fulfilling experience of
living.
- How do you feel after an ultra productive day?
- How do you feel when you’ve given your best, had
fun with your team-mates and gone the extra mile for customers?
- How do you feel when you reached for your greatest goals
and grabbed them?
It feels pretty good, doesn’t it?
| And you don’t need to have the biggest
title to do the best job. |
This point makes me think of the words of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. – one of my heroes – who
once observed: “If a man is called to be a street sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or as
Beethoven composed music or as Shakespeare wrote poetry. He
should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven
and earth will pause to say, ‘here lived a great street
sweeper who did his job well.’ ”
So be a ROCK STAR at work today. Walk on
the stage of this day and play your heart out. Give the performance
of your life. WOW your audience and get them cheering for
you.
