Who wants to play top secret agent on a dangerous assignment like Ethan Hawk in Mission Impossible? Working behind enemy lines under cover, eliminating the bad guys and saving the good guys! Your Mission…Should you choose to accept it… is to go to work tomorrow and pick one person to encourage.
Unfortunately, most people view their work as enemy territory, and they go in every day grudgingly at best. I want you to change your view of your work place by going in each day with an assignment to encourage or motivate one person. It can be the same person every day or it can be someone different.
For the first twenty one days, you will have to write it down on your calendar or put in reminders in your phone to make sure to follow through. Once you create this new habit, you will find that you will no longer have to remind yourself. In fact, you will start to look forward to this new assignment and start coming up with creative ways to fulfill it!
There are no rules to this Mission. Feel free to encourage and motivate as creatively and uniquely as you want: write a note, send an email, mail a letter, give a hug or smile, take someone to lunch or coffee and listen, print out some motivational quotes for them, buy an encouraging book to give away, offer a sincere compliment, or a thousand other ways only limited by your own imagination!
Beware though; this Mission will be dangerous to your comfort zone, ego and the rut we call our lives, and if you’re not careful you will become addicted to it! This Mission has the ability to change the way you think, view the world, your work, spouse and every relationship you have. It has the ability to turn “Bad” (people we do not like or are different than us) guys into “Good” guys.
Change your view of your work and life by encouraging those around you, and watch how it will change you and cause ripples that will affect the world!
Find Your Passion and You Will Find Your Life!
