Attitude and Energy
2nd January 2009
New Years Resolution... the toughest ever
January 2nd and as ever I am frustrated, I want to get back to work. I am impatient and although I realise a lot of people need these few extras days break after working when we have been relaxing I just want to get started and try do my bit to get the UK back in business. Yes we need a BIG rethink we cannot just fiddle with the controls as Gordon Brown has done over the last 3 months we need some exciting change that will inspire us to use our energy and redress our attitude. Maybe we need to give a sign to Gordon to say OK you're the one we give you our support so make the decisions and we will work wit you. Surely now is the time to bury party politics and look at the bigger issues.
I was looking at that well know management training graph of 'Attitude-v- Energy and realised that both words could easily be changed for optimism. What happens to the World (apart from natural changes- and even then we are causing some of these) first happens in our collective minds, this is then processed into actions. Inspiration leadership helps us all to focus, gives us optimism and energises us to act. We need to believe there is a new way to solve the problems of sustainable energy, food, water provision and population growth. We should give a thought to these issues in everything we do, everyday.
Is this just the normal first day of January thoughts, an idea for a New Year's resolution that will be forgotten in a week's time when the hash reality of the problems ahead just put us back in our box of self-deception and 'looking after number one' or is this the moment for a more fundamental shift of attitudes when perhaps the leading Nations of the world who have the power and ability to make something happenactually stand up and say. NO to Israel, NO to Afghanistan, NO to Pakistan, NO to Iran and NO to mad African dictators and NO to China's relentless creation of a fossil fuel based economy. OK it may not be fair as we have had the 'good fossil fuel life' but for the future of us all surely it's time to change?
