Living in your spotlight

No doubt, life is a day by day experiment of self determination and perseverance. Particularly when one is trying to change or make better something about themselves or in their environment, it takes real conviction and sometimes blinders from what is going on around you. Yes a tunnel vision that places you on this path of propulsion toward a singular goal that wont' go down easily.  For sure, not everyone wants to see you succeed. That is human nature I suppose. So in the end, when you it is just you alone with your thoughts, it will take you in your SPOTLIGHT to make it through. The spotlight represents the things you know about you that are completely non negotiable. Those characteristics you carry with you each day and even when others try to dim it, you know better. Your spotlight belongs to you. 

Following are my SPOTLIGHTS, what are yours?

1. I like to lead by example and not afraid to get into the weeds of the thing
2. I am usually very successful at the things I do. I am hard on
   myself
3. I am my own best critique but I welcome feedback
   especially among those who have been there done that
4. I like leading and actually prefer it over following
5. There is no such thing as being bad at something, though there is a wide canvas for getting better at it
6. I do better with positive reinforcement and treat others like I want to be treated
7. I am smart, smart enough to know I don't know everything
8. When I have made a mistake, it probably started in the details
9. I need people around me to survive. They must be really good people to get close.
10. I can't fail if I keep my sense of humor. Put others first when it won't hurt me or mine, and at the end of the day, I can't think too much of myself. I am not God.

So are you living in your SPOTLIGHTS?
