Success as an Air Traffic Controller is a Choice- Introduction, Believe in Yourself, Fire Up Your Passion

In this episode, I talk about how we can use Dr. John Maxwell's book "Success is a Choice" and apply it to air traffic control and the Academy.This is only the first of several episodes we will go through about this book and using it to become GREAT controllers.I talk about how you have to make choices that bring success. As part of that, we learn that talent by itself is never enough, and that our job is to do a great job with the talents that we have been given.Then, I talked about how you have to believe in yourself to be successful. You also have to believe in your potential( which very one of you has!). Then you have to believe in your QUEST! You have to believe that your quest is worth the pain you are going through.I ended with: you have to fire up your passion. Yes, you have to be passionate about Air Traffic Control! It is only with belief in yourself and passion for your quest that you will be able to survive the inevitable dejection that you are going to feel at some point at the Academy.BELIEVE IN YOURSELFBELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIALBELIEVE IN YOUR QUESTFIRE UP YOUR PASSIONThese are the first 2 choices we make along the journey to success.Thank you for listening.
