Have you ever been in an argument? Of course you have. When you find yourself caught up in a discussion about a topic you are passion about (knowing you are right), it’s likely you’ll argue to the bitter end. How do you feel after this. . .good? Do you ever walk away feeing better about yourself? My guess is no. You might have won the battle, but you will have likely lost the war.
The result is resentment and bitterness. Neither are great qualities to build relationships and influence others. The need to be right comes from ego. It is also an indication of low self-esteem. If you know you are right, does it help to bludgeon someone to prove it?
The idea of being right is the idea that someone else is wrong. The question I would have you consider is, “Is it better to be right or to be kind?” What’s the cost of being right?
Be humble enough to know when to walk away. Avoid attacking and becoming defensive. Preserving a relationship is more important. When you feel emotions welling up, it is time to walk away. Accept it for what it is, an impasse. Choose Love instead. Maintaining a healthy relationship is more important to personal happiness.
Have you ever experienced moments of inspiration, random thoughts, ideas or hunches? Neale Donald Walsch, calls these moments “Angel Talk,” which is a cool way of describing the messages from God or the Field of Intention. Whatever it is called, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we pay attention to theses messages. “Heaven talks in snippets, not in speeches.”
We all experience moments of inspiration, and it doesn’t even require us to be religious. The question is, are we paying attention? More importantly, are we acting on these messages?
When you find yourself being blessed with messages or hunches, stop, listen and act. These are blessing from above that should not be ignored. Be thankful for them. It means that you’re in tune with the infinite. There is no greater gift.
Have you ever considered how important character is to your success? Not just your character, but also the character of each member of your team? If you were to survey 1000 people, I believe that you would receive an overwhelming response that character matters.
I believe when we are building our team, too often we spend more time considering talent than character. Think about it, talent without character is like having a sexy sports car without gas. Consider exceptionally talented athletes or performers who have serious character flaws. They eventually destroy themselves and their careers. The list is almost endless.
This is why I would suggest that you consider the character of the people who you associate yourself with and the people you allow on your team.
A team built on strong character allows talent to reach its full potential. It will bring out the best in an organization and when adversity strikes (because it always will), you have the strengths to overcome and persevere. Character will drive the team to reach their full potential and it will bring out the best in others.
The most successful individuals and teams surround themselves with high character people. Plus, they are constantly growing their own character. Never stop striving to become a better version of yourself. It’s always higher character first, energy second, and talent third.
Dr. Jay LaGuardia is always finding ways to push himself to the next level. In his never ending quest to be the best that he can possibly be, he often challenges the very limits of what the human body, mind, and spirit can handle.

Dr. Jay LaGuardia has traveled the world. He has experienced extreme climates.
Expanding his comfort zone is part of his daily routine!
One thing Dr. Jay LaGuardia has learned, is that life is too short not to enjoy it whenever possible. Setting the example of work hard, play hard, Dr. Jay LaGuardia spends times with his children whenever he can. Pictured here Dr. Jay LaGuardia and daughter taking in a Minnesota Twins Game, is just a classic example.
