I don't think</div> <div> it's just me, but boy do I feel like playing hooky. Things are</div> <div> piling up, being left undone, and I'm just hoping to find some</div> <div> motivation pretty soon. At least by September.</div> <bR> <div> About all I can contemplate accomplishing this month is writing</div> <div> this newsletter and proofing my new book: Overcome Rejection: The</div> <div> SMART way. So I'm just about halfway there. :)</div> <bR> <div> In this issue, we focus on using the right tools for the job. I</div> <div> hope this newsletter finds you in good health, good spirits, and</div> <div> enjoying the summer. Enjoy this issue, and see you next month!</div> <bR> <div> :)</div> <div> Rachna</div> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Use the Right Tools for the Job</div> <div> (c) 2006. Dr. Rachna D. Jain</div> <div> All Rights Reserved</div> <bR> <div> This month, let's focus on the idea of using the right tools for</div> <div> the job. This came to me just a couple of nights ago when I was</div> <div> making dinner. What was significant about this was: first, I was</div> <div> actually cooking dinner for a change- haven't had much time to do</div> <div> that lately, second: I was cooking one of our first dinners in</div> <div> our new house (YES!) and third, I got into that self observing</div> <div> space that accompanies any kind of rote activity- that mental</div> <div> space where you are performing a task and also processing</div> <div> information.</div> <bR> <div> So here's what I noticed: I was trying to use this really flimsy</div> <div> spoon to break up some meat in the pan. Each time I'd press down,</div> <div> the spoon would get all goofy and wouldn't work quite right. Now,</div> <div> even though I know better, I kept trying to make this flimsy</div> <div> spoon work- and it just wouldn't. At the same time, I was</div> <div> thinking about what I'd write this month, and all of a sudden,</div> <div> the idea "use the right tools for the job" popped into my head.</div> <div> That felt like a great newsletter topic (and here we are!)</div> <div> and....</div> <bR> <div> It also moved me to toss the flimsy spoon and get a better one-</div> <div> the right tool for the job. (So, not only was dinner saved, but</div> <div> it also gave me a good working metaphor to share with you- cool,</div> <div> huh?)</div> <bR> <div> To me, the idea of using the right tool for the job refers to</div> <div> having access to whatever resources you need to make your life</div> <div> how you want it to be. If you have areas around the house which</div> <div> need improving, the "right tools" might be hammer and nails (if</div> <div> you are a do-it-yourselfer) or the phone number of a good repair</div> <div> person (if you're not). In your business, the "right tools" might</div> <div> be marketing avenues in which you shine, products or programs to</div> <div> support your customers, or, sometimes, just some uninterrupted</div> <div> time to plan and dream.</div> <bR> <div> In your primary relationship, the "right tools" might be humor,</div> <div> compassion, generosity, warmth. For your children, these tools</div> <div> might be understanding, love, and affection. Whatever they are,</div> <div> the right tools can make the work easier, faster, and better.</div> <bR> <div> When you apply the "right tools" to any situation, you're more</div> <div> likely to attain success. Where I learned not to use a flimsy</div> <div> spoon to cook dinner, I also learned that making sure I have all</div> <div> that I need to function at my best is a crucial factor for my</div> <div> happiness and growth.</div> <bR> <div> I would guess the same for you. Take a look at all your "tools"</div> <div> and focus, this month, on applying only the right tools for the</div> <div> job. Notice how much better you feel and how much more easily</div> <div> things get done.</div> <bR> <div> See you next month!</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Copyright by Rachna D.
