THE POWER OF INSTEAD

Instead of seeing problems,

Look for opportunities.

Instead of chasing efficiency,

Take the time to be effective.

Instead of making statements,

Make a point of asking questions.

Instead of winning an argument,

Create a dialogue in which everyone wins.

Instead of fixing blame,

Team up with colleagues to fix the system.

Instead of bemoaning your boring day,

Climb from the rut and create a new path.

Instead of getting buried in tasks,

Lift yourself up with a mission.

Instead of exaggerating your perceived weaknesses,

Exercise your real strengths.

Instead of waiting for perfect conditions,

Choose today as the day for change.

Instead of saying no,

Find a way to say yes.
