The Land of Obscurity: Part II

5 things to do in the Land of Obscurity....

(a continuation from "The Land of Obscurity Part I")

So, what's your back story? Every so-called "success" in life has one of these. It's not always sexy and rarely is it front page material. In fact, it's usually defined by words such as perseverance, development, and process. I know, words we all love.

Welcome to the "land of obscurity." The place void of all spotlights. It tests your motives, your character, and your perseverance. So what will you do in the land of obscurity?

5. Learn to listen.

Ever wonder why you have two ears and only one mouth? Figure it out. Learn to be a good listener and subsequently a good learner.

4. Wholeheartedly serve people right where you're at.

Don't live so consumed in the "land of tomorrow" that you don't serve, love, give 100% today. You can't just flip that switch on one day.

3. Attach yourself to great people.

You never outgrow needing mentors. Find (hunt down, pursue, stalk, hound) people who are going where you want to go and become a follower.

2. Do the little things with excellence.

It's pretty simple. Doing the little things with excellence trickles into every other area (i.e. follow through, be on time, go above and beyond, be accountable, finances, etc.)

1. Develop your core values.

These values shape your life and your future. Either figure out what you value or life/others will shape them for you.
