Better Business & Better Speaking through Improv!
Don’t let this happen to you!
I admit it… I love games!
AND… I’m still struggling a bit with keeping them in perspective. A little time off for R&R, letting off steam, and killing bad guys is great.
Just be aware of what you’re trading your time for.
Is your purpose in life bigger than any pain you may have in fulfilling on it?
Can you see it largely enough and vividly enough that, no matter what happens, it pulls you forward?
This is how the greatest and most inspirational people in our world were able to do what they do. Their vision of the future or the picture of their life as their purpose unfolds is what pulled them through the hard times.
A hero is not superhuman. They are normal people, just like you, that gets committed to fulfilling their dream.
So, create your dream. Make it real in your head.
And then, get to work creating it in the world!
You will be become bigger, better, stronger and more vibrant and the world will be a better place because of you.
Thanks in advance!
When I start a project, I just naturally start with the end in mind.
What will success look like? Who will be there? How will we celebrate? Who benefits?
This includes lot’s of different sensory inputs so I get the feeling of success. That’s what pulls me forward when things get rough or annoying. I am driven by inspiration. And I just assume that is the way that many other coaches and speakers do it, too. That’s been my experience.
If you haven’t been doing this, then try it out; write down the whole picture of how it’s going to be when it’s complete. If you find that hard to do, get a coach! We’re all about creating futures and then working with you to make it happen.
Will Smith’s secret to success
I LOVE that he took the time to say something meaningful and amazing instead of some cheap shout outs.
While I have always liked a lot of his stuff, I have a new found respect for the man.
Abraham Maslow wrote the Hierarchy of Needs, which has been used in many disciplines to explain, justify, or analyze people’s actions. He also wrote “8 ways to Self-Actualize.” My personal Favorite? #8
Find out who you are, what you are, what you like and don’t like, what is good and what is bad for you, where you are going, what your mission is. Opening yourself up to yourself in this way means identifying defenses — and then finding the courage to give them up. — A. Maslow
Self Actualization is the topmost part of the Hierarchy of Needs. This is where you remove your limiting beliefs, quiet the voice in your head, and become fully expressed in the world.
Identifying defenses is sometimes hard because it’s not so easy to see how you are. It’s often very obvious why other people do what they do, and with some examination, you may be able to show them. But, it’s quite another thing to do that for yourself. You need a coach, an outside observer to watch you, listen to you, and to question you.
