Freedom Through an Informed Perspective
Have you ever wished that you could start your day over again? If you
answered no, perhaps you have never received a speeding ticket, been in an
accident, or did/said something that you wished you hadn't. If you said yes,
haven't you thought, "If I had taken the other way I would have missed that
cop", "If I had just left work on time, I may have avoided this accident", "If
I would just think before I open my mouth". The truth is, "if" is a very
important way to accept others and our mistakes, and learn from them. Lets
change our perspective. Even if you had taken the alternative way home, who is
to say what could have happened, an accident, a flat tire, and yes still even
a speeding ticket. What if instead of avoiding our fears and problems we
actually faced them armed with information, and a change of perspective.
Instead of wondering which way to go home to avoid speed traps, you would
decide to just slow down because you realize that it could save you, or another
person's life.
Where else could we change our perspective? Lets focus on safety issues.
Does your company have a comprehensive health and safety plan? Sure you could
just not open your mail anymore and send someone else to the post office.
What about your employees, have they had the necessary safety training to
protect them in their day-to-day duties? If your company had a health and
safety plan tailored to arm you with all of the latest information on OSHA
regulations and bioterrorism, just think how that could add peace of mind and
freedom to your day. Did you know that the simple act of taking time to
designate and inform employee safety marshals could save lives? How informed
are you about some of the most prevalent fears today? Are you sure that all
of your employees understand your safety plan? Would you know what to do if
you or one of your workers got exposed to anthrax? It won't happen to you?
Well, then I guess you've never had a day that you wish you could start all over
again.
