Those who work from home need to remember one thing: working from home doesnât define us. Itâs something we define.
Just like a canvas doesnât determine whether a painting will be a masterpiece.
Just like a piano doesnât dictate what type of song youâll compose.
Or a language determining what kind of screenplay or book youâll write.
Circumstances donât determine outcomes.
We determine outcomes.
Whatever We Do During This Time, Donât Distance Yourself From What Makes You Amazing
Everything that surrounds us started as an idea. The difference between the ideas we see and the ones that people merely grumble about? It’s this:
Ideas brought to life with action are what we call âaccomplishment.â Some do it quickly. Others take more time. But they each involve action. Initiative. Resolve. Resilience.
Those who make less of an idea are showing you their last remaining strand of failure. Their actions share one concept: “They lost so why shouldn’t you?”
“Losers” gave up on their dream.
“Winners” stuck it out and persisted.

How to Crush It While Working From Home (and Not Lose Your Mind)
Circumstances are along for the ride. As a passenger, not the driver.
The gas doesnât win the race, the car driver does.
Our hair color doesnât determine if weâll be a leader or a follower, a rebel or a conformist, or an innovator versus an order taker.
In this new “work from home” era of business, leaders must lead.
And just because itâs from home doesnât mean itâs less vital than if itâs from an office.
