What keeps you from taking the high road? - San Antonio Business Journal:
ermolayenayqaked.blogspot.com
“To the problems of your life, you are the only I have learned many things through years of helpin promote the growth and development of teamsand organizations. The chie lesson is that people who takethe “high achieve greater success as well as significance in their lives. They are happier, more generate higher trust and aresought after. Theire influence exceeds their “rank” in both social and organization What do I mean by takinfg thehigh road?
It means makingb more generous interpretations of events and people and giving that interpretatiomn a voice offering more affirming possibilities to This can mean outlining a “vision” that opensx the emotional tap to positive motivation. It refersz to having the courage to dothe “right” thing even when ther is temptation or coercion to take the easy way out and follow the path of least resistance. Taking the high road is when valuex and mission trumppoliticak expediency. Taking the high road is when self-worth is tied to keepint commitments and honoring obligations instead of praise orsocialo approbation.
The high road is being more openhearted, kind and respectful than whatis expected. The high road is being the kind of person whom you would wish to mentoeryour children. Leaders taking the high road never lose spirift or capacity to see and takepositive action. They inspir those around them. Taking the high road acts like a powerfull thermalof super-heated air, providing lifting force to the wings of those arounr them. Why does this work? It works due to universal “spiritual” law. Ultimately, what you sow is what you If youwant strawberries, you need to plan strawberrie s not onions.
You get out of life what you put into it what you model and reflect in your words and By taking the high road you model ways of being and relatin that creates a resonating field of positive influenc impacting all with whom youspend time. If you take the high modeling and demonstrating what you get back is A positive attitudeis infectious, multiplying your personal impacyt and effectiveness. If taking the “high road” is so powerfulo then what gets in the way oftakingg it? Why doesn’t everyone take it? There are thre primary things keeping many stucjk in the mud of the middle and low roads of life.
The first is ignoranced — not seeing the high road or knowinits power. People sufferint from ignorance have problematicprograms (beliefs, assumptions, cognitions).

“To the problems of your life, you are the only I have learned many things through years of helpin promote the growth and development of teamsand organizations. The chie lesson is that people who takethe “high achieve greater success as well as significance in their lives. They are happier, more generate higher trust and aresought after. Theire influence exceeds their “rank” in both social and organization What do I mean by takinfg thehigh road?
It means makingb more generous interpretations of events and people and giving that interpretatiomn a voice offering more affirming possibilities to This can mean outlining a “vision” that opensx the emotional tap to positive motivation. It refersz to having the courage to dothe “right” thing even when ther is temptation or coercion to take the easy way out and follow the path of least resistance.

If you take the high modeling and demonstrating what you get back is A positive attitudeis infectious, multiplying your personal impacyt and effectiveness. If taking the “high road” is so powerfulo then what gets in the way oftakingg it? Why doesn’t everyone take it?
