Success cues from Crickets

By Sanyika

Every year a group of Crickets gather under my
office window to “sing their song.”

If you’ve ever had the “pleasure” of listening to the
prolonged chirp…chirp…chirp… of a Cricket you
will undoubtedly question you sanity.

Especially if you can’t seem to find the source of
the noise – only hear it.

Today I have a full plate of coaching calls, things-to-do
and goals to meet so when the familiar sound started
first slowly and then reached it’s fever pitch I was
annoyed.

Then I paused myself and asked a different question,
what if there was something to learn from these creatures…

Watch this quick video and see what we can all learn from
the 3 core characteristics of a Cricket…

May you continue be be like the Cricket as you strive to be:

C – CONSISTENT

R – RELENTLESS

I – INSISTENT

Finish strong!

One more cricket tip,

Be self publicizing! Make sure you let others know of your plans and and even more importantly successes. Perhaps you need to be a little more subtle than crickets however don’t be a “shrinking violet” either. If you have a win stand up and yell “yes got it” or “yes sir that’s what I’m talking about”… or what ever in your local vernacular is said for a success. People will say why are you so upbeat… “I’ve just had a win you say :-)

If one slows down the sound of crickets one will hear what sounds like choirs of angels singing … AWESOME!

All of nature is praising its creator.

The first time I heard it, not knowing what I was listening to, I was moved to tears with the beautiful angelic choir’s voices.

When I then heard the SAME CD sped up its natural speed and found out I was listening to crickets, I was TOTALLY in awe.

I too like to play with acronyms so, when I have one for cricket I will send it to you.

Thanks for the great info.
