One of the wonderful by-products of high self-esteem and zestful living is that you become a “Peak Performer”. Everyday you become more aware of your abilities and recognize that opportunities to stretch your capabilities are limitless. You desire change, growth, and challenge, and a healthy self-esteem and passion to perform provide the energy. Peak performers have more than goals; they have a vision of what their life will mean to themselves and others. Peak performers do not live in the future. They make sure each step taken in the present keeps them on the road toward their goal. Peak performers exhibit excellent communication skills. They are able to communicate effectively at all levels, both verbally and non-verbally. They are able to express themselves and get the point across in fewer rather than more words. They listen carefully and watch their articulation when they speak. Look at what Mary O’Connor has to say about ‘busy’ people, “It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted.” Many of us are busy day in and day out, but what is the outcome? What if we don’t do as much? For success comes not from doing so much but from knowing what to do and what not to do.
