@Ralph: I am definitely addicted to the productivity early in the morning...that's what keeps me doing it morning after morning. It really is a great suggestion though and has really added some good extra time to my day. Thanks again for the comment and of course the suggestion to get things going as early as possible.

Glad to hear that you are trying out the experiment. 4:30 is still good! Most people won't even think about getting out of bed until 7:30. It feels great to be productive early in the morning doesn't it?

@Ralph: Thanks for the comment and welcome to the alternaview. For the record, I have been up since 4:30 AM and I am still trying out your experiment. I don't know if I am going to be able to make it to that 3:00AM wake up time...one day at a time On another note, I really like that approach about taking on the challenge and turning a bad decision into a good one. If we can master an approach that will allow us to consistently do that, I can only imagine the positive impact it could have on everything we are trying to accomplish. It really is an excellent suggestion that will always ensure we have the right perspective and that we are always focusing on learning and growing from our decisions. Thanks again for the comment.

Thanks for the thought provoking article. It is an interesting way of looking at decision making. Although I like looking at the results of my decisions to ensure that I am successful, I like taking on the challenge of turning a bad decision into a good one.

There are few things that are more empowering than thinking to yourself "Aw man, I messed that decision up" and then turning that bad decision into gold. For me, learning from those mistakes makes it easier for me to make a decision the next time whether it is in a leadership position or in my own life.

Thanks for sharing

Sibyl, thank you for another excellent alternaview perspective. You and I both seem to be emphasizing the positive this month and I thank you for commenting on my latest blog post. I like your emphasis here on absolute honesty within yourself. This inevitably means that there will be times that the feedback is not positive. Such times provide an opportunity to affirm the approach that best achieves positive feedback. Continual accomplishments mean continual learning and the goal of positive results requires ongoing and, as you say, honest, commitment. I am really glad to be having this conversation with you from Japan!

@Faizal: Thanks for the comment and Welcome to the alternaview. I am glad you enjoyed the post. You are so right that when you do something and you just know you have done it well and feel good about it, it provides you with the encouragement to keep going and achieve more and more. The success and positive feelings push us in the right direction and toward continual accomplishments. Thanks again for the comment. Sibyl
