CHANGE OR REFUSE TO CHANGE

Change too often and you stand for nothing.  You’re simply chasing a shadow you will never catch.  Refuse to change and you’re likely to be overlooked.

FROM:  Seth Godin’s Daily Blog

REFLECTION:

  • There is a sweet spot for change… not too often… not never.  Assess your willingness to change.
  • Have you been overlooked by a refusal to change? In what area of your life?  Are you willing to make some shifts here?
  • Do you change too often?  Are you willing to take a stand .. to stand for something?  What is it?

KEEP SAYING THANK YOU

In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives.  In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.

Elizabeth Gilbert from her book:  EAT, PRAY, LOVE: One Woman’s Search For Everything

REFLECTION:

  • Who do you need to thank?
  • How will you thank them? Call, write a note, visit in person, leave a message?
  • Gratitude is always appreciated… thank someone today.

USING YOUR TICKETS

While it’s tempting to view our days as an amusement park with unlimited rides, that’s not really true.  It might not maximize our impact or enjoyment either.  In fact, we each have a limited number of tickets to trade in.  Limited time, limited opportunities, limited money and other resources.  How will you spend today’s tickets?
