DonвЂ™t just do it for you, have a higher purpose, like the person thatвЂ™s next to you. Remember no man is an island, you need to get your partnership working for a boost of courage in your life. Things that we wouldnвЂ™t do by ourselves cause of fear. Inspirational Song Line Meaning: Such a classic line from the old days! Sometimes all we need is the right partner on our side and we are capable of doing unbelievable things. вЂњI wonвЂ™t be afraid just as long as you stand, stand by me.вЂќ DonвЂ™t let negative situations break you, there is always a positive way of looking at things and overcome setbacks. But instead U2 gives you the ultimate motivational tip: despite all the problems you may have, you must step outside them an realize there is another day to be lived, use it to your advantage. The rest of the song lyrics consist of examples of daily life setbacks, where the obvious feeling is to become frustrated with. Inspirational Song Line Meaning: This U2 song celebrates life like few can.

If you internalize the lines, carry them around and allow them to seep in, they could just save you a lot of unnecessary pain: Performance filters are aligned with thinking before acting, of prevention is better that cure and go versus no go decisions. I need to emphasize three points when it comes to messages to your team:ДЎ) What do you want your team members to have top of mind?Дў) How are you keeping important considerations top of mind within your team?ДЈ) How do you ensure that these considerations are influencing behaviour as intended?ДЄnyone who has completed our Wired to Influence programme understands the necessity and the benefits of вЂњperformance filtersвЂќ. How do you want your team members to think? How do you want them to process problems and opportunities so as to achieve the best results? To what degree do they need to follow due process and to what degree should they consider options that are outside of due process? What is negotiable, what is not? What should they consider before a decisions is made вЂ“ their vetting process? What should they value? What new things should they be adding to their existing frameworks? Get your messages top of mind, keep them top of mind and ensure that mind is impacting behaviour. How do you want your team members to think? What leaders need to do for the team to be effective and efficient is to design the playlist and then to play the songs for everyone to hear. Lines like вЂњThe customer is kingвЂќ, вЂњstep up to the plateвЂќ, вЂњthereвЂ™s no I in TEAMвЂќ, вЂњUnder promise and over deliverвЂќ and вЂњcome to me with solutions, not problemsвЂќ, are all examples of such guidelines. Teams of people need particular behavioural guidelines to ensure that they are all focused on the right things. DonвЂ™t judge me for the fact that it sparked or for the particular line that sparked it all, simply consider the value of the spark. Hearing something which sparked a whole lot.

The point was not to show just how crazy I can get and what strange things go on in my system from time to time, it was to consider the power of the random song.

I could get lost unpacking the journey since hearing this piece of music but that would not be in keeping with the point of this blog post. Maybe because of the fact that it is still with me, my work is not yet done. It has kept me thinking, exploring, challenging myself, reflecting and through these various reflections I have found some cool answers or come to subtle realizations within the realms of personal understanding, loving relationships, choices, cause and effect and integrity. So for days already the line has been churning away. (Weird in a way to reflect on how many choices I make to eventually end up somewhere or in a situation вЂњby accidentвЂќ.) вЂњLove me for a reason, and let the reason be love.вЂќ I didnвЂ™t choose the song, I chose to be driving at the time, to have the radio on and to have it tuned in to a music station. вЂњLove me for a reason вЂ¦вЂќ ItвЂ™s a line from a song.ДЄs it so often happens we hear songs while traveling in our cars and this was such a case.
