It takes a little more time but pays dividends. If you’re running behind schedule, let them know. If new relevant news is found, update the other parties.
Knowledge is power. Keeping it makes you more powerful. Sharing it makes everyone more powerful and effective.
More solutions are considered when more people have the information. A greater solution can appear from more minds working on the problem or with updated information.
Seek a better world for all, not just you or your desired few.
Use all of your resources. Call a friend. Use an app. Open your mind to the impossible and the things you may not have considered. How else could you attack the situation? What would a super spy do? What would a super hero do in this situation?
Keep pressing forward quickly and you will find a very good, or much better, solution.
Just don’t give up. A good solution is out there. Find it.
We have a strange fascination / avoidance thing going on with The End. Many people find it hard to accept that they, or others, will reach The End.
Once you accept that it is a natural, and inevitable, part of life, you can be more free.
This is also a reminder to treat people like it’s their last day on Earth. Because it could be.
Same for you. It could be your last day. Make sure you have tied up those loose ends, made the calls, given the hugs and had some fun. At some point it will no longer be possible.
Live it to the limit! Thank you Wrangler.
Pump up your self talk. Be more confident. You’re better than you think you are!
Every now and then we need a few minutes or hours to recharge our mind, body and soul. Be sure to plan them in and take them. Doing absolutely nothing can be quite therapeutic.
Yesterday we took the opportunity to float down a lazy river with mild, intermittent rapids. It was calm, gorgeous, fun, cooling (in 36C heat) and hugely enjoyable.
Sometimes taking an hour or two to float through life is a wonderful thing.
We met a man standing waist deep in water just before a set of light rapids. He had a beverage in his hand and a friendly demeanour but tough looks.
As I was being pulled straight toward him by the flow of the river I said I didn’t know which side of him I’d end up on. He said not to worry and that the river would decide. Very zen.
Don’t fight the current. Go with the flow.
Lazy river fun and philosophy.
Laugh, smile, wonder, delight and play like a child. Be innocent and fully present. Enjoy the moment to the extreme. Let your soul soar. Give yourself permission and make it happen.
They don’t determine the outcomes. They might influence it though, if you let them. But they can’t physically change the outcome of your actions.
Just like friends and family, and even your harshest critics, they can say what they want but don’t let them get in your head.
Now if they have positive or sensible points to bring to your attention, you may want to consider them and even adopt them. And sensible does not mean that you like the points made either. They may be painfully accurate and annoyingly prescient and so possibly more valuable than a high five. So reflect on those and use them when possible.
Just don’t let the fans, or critics, in the stands affect your game plan. You have to live a long time with the results, not them.
