How combining two of your attributes can simplify life.

Over 15 years ago I developed a process that helped me keep life simple.  As I have gone through life asking “What Now?”, I have had to develop a process to get through those challenging times.  We all face times in our lives where we are challenged with the “What Now?”  How can we easily conquer this question?  We all can simply utilize two natural attributes that we possess.  I combined the attributes into one term, “Commonsensical.”  Naturally when we combine our Common Sense with our Comical nature we develop our Commonsensical approach to living.  Instead of stressing, over-analyzing and developing strained relationships, we can simply use these two attributes to get through those challenging times.   Our “gut” feeling as it is called, has historically served us well.  Think about this for a second and you will recall those times your common sense supported you.  I created a decision making process for myself many years ago as a leader.  I tended to over-analyze situations when making decisions, so I created a process to make a decision with my “gut” and write it down.  I would then go through my analytical process to make my decision and then compare my outcomes.  Well, over 80% of the time I could have went with my Common Sense and saved a great deal of time.  As far as the Comical side goes, we all need to lighten up in life and not take ourselves so seriously.  We tend take the smallest event and create a monumental adventure.  How do you take on life?  Check your level of courage and how you deal with fear.  Can you utilize this in your career?   

You can use this approach in everyday life.  Your career search, performance and goals will be enhanced by using this one simple approach - "Commonsensical"  Give it a try and share your results with us.  Share a comment and challenge me on this concept.  See if we can help you and everyone else who is trying to answer that daily what now.
