In order to have a good team you need to have good, hard-working people that make up the team. A good team needs to have great leaders in charge and the team as a whole needs to have the same vision or goal in mind. A good team also needs to keep trying, they can not get to a certain point and think they can stay there, the team would need to keep improving, keep progessing. A team gets better by having their priorities straight, by always trying to improve themselves, and having each team member playing an active role. The leader would need to get to know the team members and see what each individual would be best doing.
In order to get better, a team would have to do all of the above things. They would almost have to start from square one again and work their way up. You need good, hard-working people, with a good leader and a shared vision!

Self-Discipline
Many areas of my life lack discipline, even though at times I may try and pretend they don't. Those areas always catch back up with me though and remind me that they are still there and they still do need to be worked on. Five areas of my life that definitely lack discipline would be time management, procrastination, study habits, exercising and my priorities. All very important things that would make life much easier if I were on top of all them and self-disciplined with each one.
To improve each of those areas I would need to look at each as a challenge instead of a problem in my life. Instead of going after all of them at once I would need to focus on one at a time and figure out ways to fix that particular one. I could write down and experiment with what would help me accomplish each one and try new things until I have improved each one. Just starting to try and fix each one is is the hardest part, once actually having started things get much easier and the ball starts rolling. I need to sit down and focus on these and really think of ways that would work with my personality in order to fix these, and if some I think won't work at all, then maybe it is my attitude or personality that needs a little changing.
Someone I could look up to as a role model in this area that has a great deal of discipline would be my grandma. From what I can see, she is very disciplined in all areas. She has had more time to work on this, so she is at an advantage compared to me, but she is a great role model for self-discipline and I wish that she could rub some of that off on me.
Currently in life I am mainly accountable to school. It is one of, if not the most, important thing I have going in my life right now. It isn't only affecting me right now, it is something that will affect me the rest of my life. While I am accountable for school right now, I am also accountable to my family, instructors and my boss at work. These are all people that hold me to certain responsibilites and each are putting some sort of trust and time into me. If they are putting trust and time into me, then in return I need to be fulfilling my responsibilities and not letting them down.
Sometimes it is hard to recognize your own faults or where you may lack certain things, but it is good to take time to think about it and think of ways to fix each one. With a little bit of discipline it can be done!

My Misson :D
I am at my best when I am happy, motivated and encouraged..
I will try to prevent times when I am tired, stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted..
I will enjoy my work by finding employment where I can be busy at work- I enjoy doing things that keep my body busy and my mind a little busy so that I can escape from things in my life if I would like to, but I can also think about other things if I would like to. I like to be given tasks along with a free hand. I also love to interact with others and me look at my work as something positive and enjoyable in my life..
I will find enjoyment in my personal life through In my personal life I love to help others and take time for myself, doing things that I enjoy. I like to be productive, encourage others and take as much of life in as possible in my personal life..
I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as music and dance. Listening to and helping others. Being a friend. Making others laugh..
I can do anything I set my mind to. I will make a positive difference in peoples' lives. Travel to many different places around the world. Help little kids with their problems. Be a mentor. Do something for myself that I absolutely love doing, such as dancing or modeling..
My life's journey is to always maintain happiness in my life and be a positive impact in others' lives. I am not sure what all this journey would consist of but I would be doing it for myself and for those in need, because helping others is one way to make yourself happy. When I was really down once, my mom told me to go find someone who had a problem that I could help them fix or give them advice on. Once I did that I felt so much better. My journey is just about my personal happiness and the happiness of others..
I will be a person who at my 80th birthday all of my close friends and family would be there with me. Anyone that has helped me significantly in life I would like to be there along with anyone that I helped significantly in their life..
My most important future contribution to others will be a positive, bright, loving, outgoing influence that they could learn from. With a lot of laughter tied in also..
I will stop procrastinating and start working on:
How I feel about and look at myself. I need to maintain a positive image of myself so that others can see me as positive also. I would need to believe in myself before others sincerely would believe in me also. Another would be how I view the world when I am not in the best of moods. I might tend to blame others for the way I am feeling or for a split second consider throwing a pity party for myself, when instead I should be out doing something to make myself view things differently and get out to do something active in order to help myself. I should also stand up for myself and speak my mind a little more often when I don't agree with certain things. I have gotten better but I sometimes slip up and let things go that don't need to be "let go." Along the same lines, I need to change the fact that I don't always open up about my own problems, I keep them locked inside. I need to learn how to express them right. I should not be afraid of failure either. It will only make me miss out on great opportunities in life that I may regret and never get another chance to try.
I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:
Optimistic
Hard-working
Not afraid of failure
I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:
Exercise, eat right, sleep right. Put into my body what I want out of my body.
Have quiet time. Read the Bible and memorize encouraging verses. Have positive, encouraging verses handy or visible for when needed or just to continually be reminded.
Take time for myself. Do things that might be considered a "mental getaway," such as yoga, pilates, reading, music or dancing.
Find a happy medium with many different things. Be outgoing and enthusiastic yet calm. Funny yet serious and strong-willed yet sensitive. Also need to open up more about how certain things may make me feel
