Governor Abbott Accepts Governor’s Cup Award

Governor Greg Abbott today accepted Site Selection Magazine’s Governor’s Cup Award for a record-breaking seventh year in a row. This is the 15th overall win for the state of Texas, more than any other state. Governor Abbott was joined by business leaders and executives from the Metro 8 Chambers of Commerce to accept the award, which highlights top-performing states for job creation, capital investment, and business innovation.

“I am honored to once again accept the Governor’s Cup on behalf of our tremendous workforce, job creators, and economic development organizations across the state,” said Governor Abbott. “By working together to strengthen our business environment and bring more investment to every corner of our state, we will continue to grow the economy, create more jobs, and build a brighter future for our state.”

Site Selection Magazine publishes information for expansion-planning decision-makers — CEOs, corporate real estate executives and facility planners, human resource managers, and consultants to corporations. It has awarded the Governor’s Cup annually since 1978, based on new and expanded corporate facilities as tracked by the proprietary Conway Projects Database.

¿Por Qué No Cumplimos Las Resoluciones De año Nuevo?

¿Por Qué No Cumplimos Las Resoluciones De año Nuevo?

Millones de personas estarán comprometidos a cumplir con su propósitos de Año Nuevo, bien sea perder peso, dejar de fumar, salir de sus deudas, conseguir un mejor empleo o pasar más tiempo con la familia. Éstos son sólo algunos de los propósitos más populares en esta época pero lamentablemente, según las estadísticas, para la tercera semana de enero el 80% romperá su resolución y regresará a sus viejos hábitos.

¿Por qué es tan dificil cumplir con los propósitos de Año Nuevo? Hay varias razones que podrían justificar el por qué no cumplimos con as metas que nos proponemos. Puedes pensar que tal vez sea porque nos falta motivación o porque no tenemos un plan detallado para lograrlo o porque la meta era poco realista o quizas porque nos falta fuerza de voluntad. Es cierto que cualquiera de estos motivos puede afectar el cumplimiento de un objetivo pero la raiz del problema radica en algo mucho más serio.

Te voy a revelar la principal razón por la cual no cumplimos nuestros propósitos de año nuevo: ¡carecemos de amor propio! No importa cuál sea tu propósito, si no te quieres lo suficiente, inconscientemente tomarás decisiones que no te ayudarán a conseguir lo que deseas.

Por ejemplo, digamos que tu resolución es dejar el cigarro, y llevas dos semanas sin tocar uno, pero un día después de cenar te da un enorme deseo de fumar, si eres alguien que no se quiere a si mismo, te sub- iras al auto para ir a comprar un caja, aunque esto afecte tu salud. Por el contrario, si real- mente te amas, evitarás caer en la tentanción y así demostrarás tu amor propio. La clave para cumplir tu resolucioón, ya sea comenzar un plan de ahorros o perder cincuenta libras consiste en quererte más.

Te sugiero que de hoy en adelante cuando sientas la tent- ación de hacer algo que rompa con tu resolución de año nuevo, antes de hacerlo, debes preguntarte: “¿Esta acción demuestra que me amo, o muestra que no me quie- ro?” Si te haces esta pregunta, tendrás la motivación de tomar la decisión que demuestre tu cariño propio. En conclusión, la mejor resolución que puedes trazar para este año es…¡AMARTE MÁS!
