Daily SPARK Minute with Simon T. Bailey

“Brilliant You! You set the thermostat. Despite the temperature of what is happening in the world, where you are right now, you decide what the temperature of your destiny is going to be.”

“As you know, burnout is very real. Dr. Christine Sinsky at the American Medical Association says, ‘Burnout is not a medical illness. Burnout happens because of an environment.”

“When did the penny drop for you? I was sitting in a meeting yesterday here in Tuscan, Arizona, and one of the board members asked the question, ‘When did the penny drop for you?’ So, simply meaning, when did you know you were working in your purpose, using your talent, your gift to impact humanity. What a powerful question.”

“Job seeker, if you ever have a moment where you are not confident about who you are, and what’s happening, here’s what I want you to know…Everything you need to succeed is inside of you. The moment you recognize that, you will understand that you should never lose your confidence because you are absolutely, positively brilliant. Why? Because Simon says so.”

“Guess what? Do what you love. I have taken risks, and 20 years later I am so happy that I am in love with what I do because it still feels like day one. When you take that risk to do what you love, you live from the inside out, and when you live from the inside out, you move from joy to love to ecstasy in making a difference every single day in what you do.”

“Peace. I speak peace over your life today. In fact, I’m going to pray for you.”

“There’s a difference between being a human being and a human doing. Right now, on the planet, there is an entire shift to really move towards becoming human centric and human centered. A human centered organization recognizes the whole person, the entire individual, and creates a psychologically safe environment for people to show up with all the vicissitudes of life, death, financial hardship, and they come into this professional environment with personal things that’s weighing on them. How do we humanize that experience?”

“Here is your next crush 2024 tip! Be you. That’s right. Be your authentic self. Do it the way that you would do it. Do it better than you have ever done it before. When you understand how to be you, you decide that you are not going to copy anyone else because you are an original.”

“So, this whole thing of kindness, letting go of ego, moving to eco, engaging, caring only is really understanding that every moment matters. Every moment counts. So, how do I practice self-love? How do I practice gratitude? How do I practice surrender? When you do, you are literally setting the tone to create an environment of kindness because everyone is going to feed off of how you’re showing up.”

“At the end of today, I want to invite you to write down what is right about you. When you do, you will be able to zoom back and say, ‘What?!?!’ That’s right!”
