The Super Bowl and Eli Manning: defining difficult behavior and personal responsibility
Eli Manning, now MVP, and the New York Giants did their homework. The confidence of the Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, and his team did not influence the focus and discipline the Giants displayed. The Pats were seconds from perfect. Then the Giants pulled off a Super Bowl shocker.
Let this be a lesson in dealing with any difficult situation or toxic person. Focus on the outcome you want and put into action the personal responsibility needed.
Whether you study the behavior of Eli or Peyton Manning, they both have these traits … as does Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, or Lance Armstrong. Learn from those who succeed and how they take total control of their choices.
Create perfect endings to what you want. Keep the focus and take personal responsibility for every action and choice. Learn that managing difficult behavior is learned. Google what you need and learn from a broad spectrum of information. Take personal responsibility for everything you do and every outcome you have.
A day that was supposed to be reserved for 19-0 turned into a Giant upset but what happened? Tom Brady was sacked five times, and hit throughout the game by the Giants defense. The Patriots finished the season 18-1, failing to become just the second team to cap an undefeated season with a Super Bowl win.
Don’t get caught up in past success as Brady did. You will never win the challenge with difficult bosses, or toxic co-workers. This is my real joy as a professional speaker – is to continue to send this personal responsibility message! Life is a game so play to win. Marsha
