Rob's Words
We know how large the unabridged dictionary is. However sometimes we experience a feeling or something that we wish to express, which requires a new word. This word, one we make up, is personal.
The following words are examples of the ones I have made up over the years.
We know the word Survive: To exist, live, breathe and walk in life safely.
And the word Thrive: To excel or succeed with greatness.
But what good is one without the other?
It's time to use Rob's word Surthrive: and start to thrive at surviving!
We know the word Galvanize: To arouse to awareness or action.
And the suffix -ics: Actions, activities or practices of.
What does it spell?
Galvanomics: Having an undeniable response to something you know to be so.
Example: When your mind goes one way and your body goes the other. Your spouse wants to do something you would rather not, yet because of feelings of obligation you do what the other wants instead of what you want.
This brings us to...
I once read that Fog enters our lives and clouds our minds to where we can no longer see how to reach happiness. The next time you sense that there is too much fog in your life, remember what it means:
F ear
O bligation
G uilt
Obligation is the seed bed for resentment and resentment is a very decisive force.
To eliminate the fear, better understand what it is with this acronym:
F alse
E vidence
A ppearing
R eal
Understanding the word Exexcutive.
The skills needed to get to be an executive are different than the skills needed to stay there, and if you are an executive, you certainly are discovering that!
For many years, Rob worked his way toward the top, and he found that there is a great emphasis on being first:
First in line
First to get the new...
First in any race or game
First in your job to...
First to reach the top!
But at last you are an Exexcutive! However, the prefix Ex implies that something has past...but you thought you were first? What do you do now?
We draw on yesterday’s lessons without recreating the past. We move forward as the leader drawing on the wisdom gained creating new experiences and ever newer lessons to build upon.
