• Curiosity: Idea #556

    Have you ever spent time with a young child, especially one that is very talkative? They ask a million questions about everything, some of which are very difficult to answer. However, this is how they grow as a person, by following ‘the law of curiosity. It says that growth is stimulated by asking ‘why.’ When we ask the curious questions, we allow ourselves to explore a future that most don’t get to experience. Ask the questions that allow you to jump the fence!’ (J.Maxwell) So my question to you (and myself) is: Why have you stopped asking why? Let’s start asking more “why” questions.

  • Handicap: Idea #555

    Would you like to remove one of the biggest barriers to success? ‘One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment… If you have to make a mistake, it’s better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances.’ (F.Fellini) Join me today in trying something new, taking a risk, maybe even making a mistake.

  • Reflection: Idea #554

    I didn’t think it was possible, however life seems to get busier each year that goes by. And I guess if you think about time in its totality, our time is only a brief moment. So what can we do to ensure we don’t let the busy-ness keep us from growing? I believe we need to remember ‘the law of reflection. It says that learning to pause allows growth to catch up with you. Experience alone isn’t the best teacher, but reflecting on our experiences is what allows us to learn and grow. Reflection turns experience into insight.’ (J.Maxwell) Can we allow ourselves time to be quiet, to reflect, to ponder on what we’ve been experiencing and learning? It’s important that we do so if we truly want to improve.
