Recently got new job assignment and... by some surprise it came with new level of stress that i have forgotten in the recent past. Meeting new people, trying to build new relationship, taking other type and level of decisions it is confusing. Nothing bad has happened but this tickling feeling inside saying - “was I right... should I have done or said That differently”? What and how People are thinking about me now? Very strange feeling. 

But i guess that is called growth... that is bringing yourself out of comfort zone to new adventures and challenges of professional life. 

They say: “to get more positive in your life you need to remove negative people from your life”. What do you do with negative mother? She is part of your closest family, but so so negative. I just don't get it. 

I did my first run this year. There was long and ugly winter in Latvia so I only limited my sporting activities to functional fitness workouts, but this morning i pushed my self out - finally there is no snow and i could have a nice 2-3km run in the forest... sun glimpsing between the trees... no cars... no people... just pain in the back ... but that is other not so nice story.

Have received new Position and Salary proposal in my job. 

So far I was thinking about my Targets for 2016 from perspective “Will look at Proposal” and then set my Targets. 

It is always a good time to set, review, update, adjust or improve your targets, but I feel that this time I want to do that Differently ... I'm thinking about sharing that with my Wife and work on our Targets together. 

Hope

As my “new best friend” Zig Ziglar keeps reminding - if you have a hope for tomorrow it gives you actual power today.

It is so clear, so straight forward if  you just read it over and over again and just think about it. But hope does require you take some action, take one more step, bite one more tiny piece of the Elephant. Situation won't resolve itself,  you have to do it yourself. Hope gives you this little boost to Keep pushing. 

The best way to an Elephant is to cut and eat him in small pieces.

This could be one of the oldest sayings they give in Management schools and trainings. But it makes so much sense and can be applied in so many places, situations and times. 

The best way to solve a problem or get rid of something is in small steps, baby steps if you unsuccessfully you have tried to solve it in One go, so you just split it in two, three, four or hundred steps and there you go = solution!
