AYD - June 17, 2014 - A Professional Was Here

"A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it."
- Alistair Cooke

Leave the impression, by going the extra distance.
At Work.
At School.
Carrying out daily activities.
Completing a goal and building dreams.

We always have the opportunity to put forth and display our Standards in our actions and our output on anything we do.  We could do ourselves a great service by remembering that showing up is the hard part ... the executing of a task to the level of quality that we have already grown to offer is simply the follow through.

Very often we get caught up and studder start the effort by focussing on our emotions in that moment.  We are tired.  We are angry.  We are feeling unfulfilled ... and many more thoughts that simply delay the start of something good.  We all have completed something, or talked a child through their defiant stages of something and then said, "There all done...now that was not so bad was it?"  To which the common reply is, "No.  Once I got started it all went well."

Find a moment today to add the certification of "Professional" behind your name - because you showed up and gave your best signature to a task at hand.  Extra credit if you are able to change your mood from "not feeling like it" to "can't wait to get started."

Good Morning, Greater day.
Greater You, can be a professional grade example of how it is done.
