Beyond repparttar 101439 Hype! Aren’t you really in Partnership with Yourself?

Most of us think of partnerships as being a two-way street that is with another person or an entity. I am referring to partnership within yourself. What better partner can you get to know, understand and trust than yourself?

Here are some criteria that may help improve your Self- Partnership.

1. "If you don't know who you are you or where you’re going, any path will take you there". Sioux Proverb

“Men don’t change. The only thing new in repparttar 101440 world is repparttar 101441 history you don’t know.” Harry Truman, American President

“I’m an idealist: I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way.” Carl Sandburg, American poet.

The better you understand your vision as to what you want repparttar 101442 better your partner will cooperate. It would be easier for your partner to follow your road map than to try to think and guess what's on your mind.

"The first rule for any successful strategy is to think." EvanDudik

2. “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success.” Irving Berlin, American Composer, Theater arts 1958

If you're going to partner in a successful way you better have commitments, trusts, distinct understandings, and clear picture of your plans.

"The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas." Linus Pauling

3. “Genius is that superior alchemy that changes repparttar 101443 vices of nature into repparttar 101444 elements of destiny” Pierre Emmanuel (Noel Mathieu) French writer, Buadelaire.

The old storyboard technique of Walt Disney as explained by Mike Vance, of placing all of repparttar 101445 animations and succession on repparttar 101446 wall may not be a bad idea so your partner can see what you're thinking. This technique of sequential picturing will stimulate other ideas.

4. Stick to your knitting", Tom Peters

“ Generally, repparttar 101447 theories we believe we call facts and repparttar 101448 facts we disbelieve we call theories.” Felix Cohen.

If you're going to be innovative with your partner you better have a better understanding his or her limitations and perceptions. Don't create a losing situation with false and unreal expectations.

5. Always think down board" Carl Segan

“Creativity in science could be described as repparttar 101449 act of putting two and two together to make five.” Arthur Koestler, British Philosopher, The Act of Creation.

Don't try to out guess your partner. This isn't a chess game it is a sharing game. Have a clear understanding of repparttar 101450 shot and long-term goals. In order to understand your partner better and how he or she reacts, initiate more short-term goals and see that response from repparttar 101451 partner.

6. Tell me and I will forget; shown me and I may remember, involve me and I will understand." Chinese proverb

"Give a man of fish and he eats today. Teach him how to fish and he will never go hungry."

Top 5 Sources of Energy Drain By Helaine Iris ©2004

Along with time and money, energy is one of your most valuable resources. And if you're a professional woman, it's a resource that's most likely in short supply. With repparttar myriad number of professional and personal tasks you need to accomplish, while taking care of your family, you have very little - if any - energy left over for you. It's easy to understand your dilemma. Energy is defined as "having repparttar 101436 internal or inherent power or capacity to act, operate or produce an effect." Mental, physical and emotional energy is repparttar 101437 fuel that drives your creativity, your thinking and your ability to take action. Energy drains limit your capacity to act and create. They also deplete repparttar 101438 inspiration and motivation that is such a crucial part of a complete and balanced life. Here are repparttar 101439 top 5 sources of energy drain I see most often in my clients' lives, as well as some suggestions for how to eliminate them. Energy Drain #1: Keeping Details In Your Head, Instead Of In A System Your brain, like a computer, only has so much RAM (random access memory). And RAM is mental energy. When you rely on yourself to remember your shopping list, your to-do list and your dentist appointment, it eats away at mental energy you could be using elsewhere to create a greater impact in your life. It's not that all those tasks aren't important, but what if you had repparttar 101440 mental energy to complete that major report, write your book or create a more powerful business strategy? Think of each item you need to remember as an energy unit. How many energy units do you spend keeping details in your head? Find (or create) and begin using a system to track and remember things for you. Use it daily, and you'll free up more mental energy to accomplish higher leverage projects and tasks. Energy Drain #2: Making Assumptions and Taking Things Personally Humans are exceptionally good at creating meaning. With every occurrence in our lives or every statement someone makes, we're constantly asking: "what does that mean?" Sometimes meaning helps us to know where we stand, but much of repparttar 101441 time repparttar 101442 meaning we create is, frankly, an incorrect assumption. How many energy units go down repparttar 101443 drain each time you second-guess repparttar 101444 meaning of someone's words, actions or inactions? Think of repparttar 101445 last time you spent an hour, a month, a year (or longer) having made repparttar 101446 wrong assumption about an interaction with someone. How much energy did it cost you? The next time you find yourself making things up about someone's words or actions, ask them for clarity so you can deal with repparttar 101447 truth, and move on.
