The only way that I seem to be able to get through from one day to the other is by creating a state of mind that I feel I want to be in constantly. One of my many resolutions for 2012 is maintaining positivity in everything that I do which I have called operation happy! Happiness is a state of mind. Being happy does not necessarily mean that everything is going on well but it simply means I am in control of whatever situation I am in and can choose to feel however I want to feel about it, but whatever I choose to feel will determine the outcome of my problems...or rather in operation happy terms, challenges!
So in my quest to achieve operation happy, I have decided (note how I have made the choice) to adopt 7 keys to phenomenal success, by Moky Makura, Nigerian born actress and TV presenter in SA and author of "Africa's Greatest Entrepreneurs".
1. Willingness to take risks- after having established yourself as a specialist in your field of expertise.
2. An opportunistic nature- when timing and place is right, go for it.
3. An innovative mind- start with what you have and better it.
4. A vision - what is your strategy?
5. An ability to lead- be charismatic, be engaging, take responsibility for your actions.
6. Immense drive - when do you start and stop your day?
7. A 'want-to-do' attitude - don't just dream it, do it!
So let's hope this brings us phenomenal success for 2012, in the meantime, let's engage OPERATION: HAPPY!
Ignite!
