Going with the Flow
As a strategist and planner by nature, I sometimes struggle with letting things happen naturally. Certainly, I allow for spontaneity and creativity throughout my week, and some down time. However, when I plan a task or an event, I expect it to go as planned. Usually the final result is what I had planned, but the struggle for me is in “allowing” it to take shape. That space between the idea and the result is often incredibly frustrating for me.
Make New Friends, and Keep the Old….
We’d probably all agree that the art of networking involves meeting new contacts while building and preserving existing relationships. Is it ever a challenge for you to do both simultaneously?
Will you find danger or opportunity on the road to discovering your purpose?
A few words of encouragement for another can be so powerful. Whether it is our children, significant other, or a total stranger, the right word at the right time can be the catalyst to propel someone forward in a new positive direction. Conversely, a discouraging word could have the opposite effect.
What are you committed to?
Have you ever looked at your existing relationships, personal or professional, and put an end date on them? It has you really evaluate how and with whom you spend your time. You essentially ask yourself, “am I going to know this person in a year, or five, or ten, or forty years?”
What moves you?
For me, it is authenticity. When I witness courage in the face of adversity, kindness or generosity without reservation, unconditional love, and truth revealed, I am inspired. I am privileged to have people in my life who demonstrate all the aforementioned qualities on a regular basis. When I get inspired, I in turn want to share it with others. So that’s why I’ve written this blog post. I hope that you will enjoy some of the profound truths I’ve recently read as well as experienced.
