I am currently reading this book by Viola Davis and this quote, by Thomas Merton, stood out to me. “If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.”

Ask your partner “what is your favorite thing about me today”. Tell them what yours was and hear theirs. This has to be something you did or reacted to, that day. I find that this makes you appreciate yourselves daily instead of waiting for special occasions. Answers could range from your dimples, loud laugh, reaction to a cat reel to being innovative. This works great with friends, family and partners. Have fun with intentionality.

Just show up, do your part and leverage the visibility of your work.Don't forget to document and have remarkable women in all your corners.They will fortify you when you're two feet under and help you up!

Dream On, Dreamer Girl!

I am a two times first generation graduate student and I am living my dream!

Top performers are just regular thinkers like everyone else, but they are also doers. Most times, they even execute other people’s ideas better. That’s their superpower!

Execution Is King

The best ideas and strategies are worthless unless they are implemented. Those who implement them get the accolades not the thinkers.

No Idea Is Worth A Thing 

You can have millions of great ideas on how to create innovative products, greater customer satisfaction, increase productivity in your team, increase conversion on your new product, generate more income, find the cure for cancer, or stop world war III, but ultimately you have to implement those ideas to realize the benefits. If you’re not a doer, you’re just exercising your brain.

Doers Over Thinkers

If you’re not a doer yourself, the best thing for you is to get doers on your side. Those people who need little to no supervision to execute. Pay them to carry out your great ideas.

Associate With Doers

As an executor, be friends with thinkers. Help them execute their ideas, especially the ones you believe in.if you don’t believe in it, go with an over-there mindset and get paid for it.

If You’re A Doer, Get Thinkers On Your Team

Execute it one way or another.

Don’t Let Your Ideas Die Inside You

Ideas that never get executed

In everything you want to do, whether for yourself or people, do your part to your best capacity.

Pull Your Weight

At work, do what you're being paid to do. If you can, take a little burden off others. In a group, do your part. Pull your weight, let people be happy to work with you. Do what is assigned to you and spur others to action.

Do Your Part

Avoid being the reason why people can't get things done. Unblock teammates as soon as you can, do a bit more than others and just stand out.

Don't be A Lackey 

Sometimes, we hesitate to volunteer because it means more work. Well, you should know that volunteering is how you get seen and known. You can fine-tune your special skills and get recognised for them. You're helping people and still getting the recognition you deserve.

Volunteer

If you can not do more, do exactly what you're supposed to do. Pull your weight, don't drag it or add to someone else's burden.The world would be a better place if everyone does what they were supposed to.

Doing your part makes life easier for you and everyone else.
