Happy August, valued travel partners!
As everyone's favorite games draw to a close in Brazil, it's tough not to feel moved. The world's very best, gathering in a celebration of diversity and unity. Spectacular victories played out on the global stage — not to mention all the stories of hard work and dedication and determination that led to their triumph. |

Sometimes it's easy to forget how hard these athletes work their entire lives to reach that point. Yes, some are genetically blessed, and some had better circumstances than others — but in the end, none of them got that far on luck alone. A book I read, Grit to Great, explores similar themes but applies them to a more approachable context for the rest of us: achieving our career and life goals.
Written by renowned entrepreneurs, Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval, the book suggests through various stories that success is no accident: it takes perseverance, passion and pluck to go from ordinary to extraordinary. Think of some of the things you do that come so easily to you today. They probably didn't always come easy. The interesting thing about growing, learning and improving ourselves is that it happens so gradually, sometimes you don't even notice all the progress you've made until someone points it out. Instead of letting growth toward your goals be an accident, make it deliberate. "When pursuing a long-term goal, people should focus on checking items off their list, rather than focus simply on making progress toward their goal in an absolute sense," write Thaler and Koval. And it's not just about giving yourself an easy win: "Appreciating the motivational value of smaller accomplishments helps to develop the endurance you need to tackle bigger, long-range goals." The more you win, the better you get at winning!
Give yourself something to achieve each day to keep yourself striving toward excellence. You'll feel more accomplished with every step you take and you'll grow more as a result. Of course, you're not in this race alone. Royal Caribbean is always right there with you to help take your business to the next level. We'll match your hard work with the tools, resources and marketing assets you need to go the distance — you can get started today at LoyalToYouAlways.com. We want nothing more than to see you win, so count on us to help you unleash your inner champion.
Warm winning wishes! |
