05.01 Building a life on a “story”

When you build your life on someone else’s story. 

When you build your life on a story you believed was yours, and then realise it wasn’t.

When you build a life on anything but ...

You fail.

What you need is the constant exploration of your authentic self. It will evolve, but build the story on the highest truth of your grandest vision of yourself at that moment.

04.01 Life is a series of negotiations

Life is a series of negotiations and not everyone has been to business school. Or feels like negotiations. But from the moment you wake up (or depending on the type of sleeper you are) you might already be negotiating with yourself about staying 10 more minutes in bed. 

You negotiate to find agreement, and agreements should have win-win resolutions. I personally go for a win-win-win, ensuring both parties win plus the environment and society. It’s an easy way always to remember those that don’t have a voice on the negotiation tables.

How are you feeling about negotiation?  Do you have tactics, ideas, strategies, habits and clues that help your day be more drama-free?

03.01: We are past the guru era

There is SO much out there.  Everyone has life advice about, well, life. Yet it's important to remember they are mere opinions, things that have worked for them, stories with happy endings. Some of those endings are being fabricated, to sell. Don’t forget you are your own path. Your personal story. Your way doesn’t have to be what other people’s has been.

Connect to your Source, God, and listen. Take one step at a time. If you need help, call a friend, mentor, a family member. Ask God to speak through those you know. And take another step. Smile. Your life doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. In fact, it shouldn’t.

You got this.

02.01 Everyone should start a blog

With simplicity, yet elegance, I begin to write. This blog or collection of thoughts is merely that. Me writing in free form for as long as I feel like. I won’t really do much editing other than a quick “Grammarly” check just to make sure I am readable for the future. I thought I would be able to beat my perfectionism this way. I also do understand that perhaps much of what is here might not ever be read by anyone, maybe not even myself. But I have followed Seth Godin’s blog for years, and he recommends we all have a blog. A place where we can have one thought a day. 

So my one thought a day is that, why don’t you start one too?
