As an artist, visionary, and creator seeing the need for innovation on so many levels, in so many aspects of life and work the challenge becomes in conveying, convincing and cultivating cooperation to effect no.5!

I'm still trying to cultivate cooperation and convince as well. Apathy and lack of excellence is my biggest hurdle at work. Not being in a position of authority makes it even more difficult for me.</p> True for sure! I’m still trying to cultivate cooperation and convince as well.

Everyone else is secondary. That makes the excellence you strive for worth it even if nobody else seems to care because He knows who did what so taking the credit...or the blame, is not the goal. Easy to say and pretty darned hard to do! The ONLY way to survive this cycle is to work to please God alone. Everyone else is secondary.

When I accepted that I'm working for God alone my attitude towards others changed from noticing what they do to helping them when I could. Funny thing happened, some people aren't too fond of someone else going that extra mile. It picked up productivity but not contentment in the lab. It's all good though, I help in my church when I can and everyone wants to chip in and help do things all of the time. I'm grateful to have another outlet where attitudes are different. </p> AJL – it actually makes work easier.
