Sometimes\u00a0we each feel powerless.\u00a0 Kind of like\u00a0the guy with no arms and legs in the video link above.\u00a0 He is awkward to look at and most people look at him and think that he would not amount to much.\u00a0 But he took what little was given to him and made it big.\u00a0 Those are decisions that we have to make inside ourselves.\u00a0 Only ourselves.<\/p>\n

We take the constraints that the company we work for (or life) puts on us and we act like we have no arms and legs.\u00a0 However, this guy chose to see it as opportunity to see how much he could do without arms and legs.\u00a0 So instead flip it around and say, \u201cHow much can I do despite all these decisions the company is making that seem to cut me off?\u201d<\/p>\n

So often we want to be angry at some of the decisions and actions of our company and people around us for what is going on.\u00a0 But maybe we need to think outside the box \u2013 who says that you could not think of better ways of doing something?\u00a0 Take what you don\u2019t like and say, \u201cHow can I make this better?\u201d<\/p>\n
