Recently, I finished reading a great book by Jon Gordon – The Energy Bus. It’s a quick read full of positive
ideas. In the book Jon Gordon explores
and discusses many of the elements needed for both individual and team success. Through a story he very clearly demonstrates
how important it is to be positive and overcome negativity in one’s life. Negativity is a power thief that will steal
you blind of all your energy if you let it.
In today’s stressful fast paced world, we all need help staying focused on what is important and remaining positive even in the face of
failure. Negativity will destroy an
individual or a team’s chance for success and if left unchecked will destroy
any hope for future successes.
The Energy Bus presents
the reader ten rules for approaching life with positive energy
enabling the possibilities for great success.
We all face challenges in life and we all are tested daily. It is easy to let these challenges turn our
thought process negative resulting in every ounce of energy being drained. It
is foolish to think we never get down but it is even more foolish to think that
when we are negative that we can find our way back to being positive without a
road-map.
The following ten rules are outlined in The Energy Bus and represent a road-map to a successful positive
life. I suggest you get a copy of this
book to read and keep for your personal library.
1.
You’re the driver of your bus.
2.
Desire, vision and focus move your bus in the
right direction.
3.
Fuel your ride with positive energy.
4.
Invite people on your bus and share your vision
for the road ahead.
5.
Don’t waste your energy on those who don’t get
on your bus.
6.
Post a sign that says NO ENERGY VAMPIRES ALLOWED
on your bus.
7.
Enthusiasm attracts more passengers and
energizes them during the ride.
8.
Love your passengers.
9.
Drive with purpose.
10. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
