Results of a new survey on our weight is out….

Thirty percent of those in the “overweight” class believed they were actually normal size, while 70% of those classified as obese felt they were simply overweight. Among the heaviest group, the morbidly obese, almost 60% pegged themselves as obese, while another 39% considered themselves merely overweight

This concept is not limited to our perception of our weight. People do this (delude themselves) in many areas. When we coach leaders many of them have a hard time accepting what a 360 evaluation may say about them because that truth hurts.

Let’s go back to success 101. One of the key diferentiators of successful people is a high-degree of self-awareness. That is usually founded on a high degree of honesty about self.

If you can’t honestly assess yourself, ask for input. Listen and they say thanks. Then do something about it.

You are not a victim, you are actually in charge of what you do and how you feel every single day…
