When a property owner determines a tenant is damaging his or her rental business operations the owner will likely serve the tenant with a final eviction notice.
That tenant may appear to be a very nice person and decent citizen to other people, and perhaps even to the landlord; but some of the behaviors of the tenant reinforce in the mind of the landlord the fact that the tenant must go.
Room has to be made in the owner’s facility for tenants who will consistently demonstrate positive, helpful, and favorable behaviors.
The negative behaviors of the undesirable tenant are bad for business and bad for the peace of mind, success, and sanity of the property owner.
A new season and a new year gives us all a chance to make a clean break from the negative people, places, positions, behaviors, and thoughts we may still be allowing to hold us back.
That negativity weighs us down like excess baggage, slowing our forward movement and forward thinking.
The time has come to serve the negativity with a FINAL EVICTION NOTICE.
We have to do this so we can successfully think clearly and move forward to reach our full potential in 2011 and beyond.
There can be one problem, though. Excess baggage can be cunning and slick.
It can creep up on us before we can say, “What happened?” Once it latches onto us, it can be a beast to get rid of.
The extra baggage can weigh us down, slow us down, stamp early wrinkles on our foreheads, make us miss opportunities, and trick us into behaving anti-socially, and politically incorrectly.
It can also trip us up so that we say or do things that are unfriendly or downright mean – leading our behavior to become just like the excess baggage: negative.
If we are not careful, the extra baggage can even ruin our health and steal years away from our lives.
So, let’s all make a 2011 vow to:
ü Admit that we have made mistakes in the past.
ü Forgive ourselves and forgive others for situations that have gone sour – harboring guilt and resentment will not change what happened, but it will change our health for the worse.
ü Accept that we live in the present, and not in the past.
ü Commit to learn from the past mistakes we have made.
ü Decide not to make the same mistakes twice.
ü Teach other people how not to make the mistakes we made by being transparent about our experiences when we coach them into their success.
ü Understand that as humans we are prone to make mistakes from time to time.
ü Stop scapegoating, blaming, resenting, and hating people because of our own individual and personal deficits and deficiencies.
ü Determine to leave all 2010 and prior excess baggage behind so we are not weighted down by the people, places, positions, behaviors, and thoughts that will do us more harm than good.
Happy New Year, LifelineExtensions.blog Readers! We can and will move forward without any unnecessary and excess baggage!
