FOUR COMPONENTS

View of the Lincoln Memorial from the rear of the Washington Monument

Everything a human being wants can be divided into four components: love, adventure, power and fame.

Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

REFLECTION:

  • Are the four components balanced in your life?
  • What component is most dominant?
  • How is this working for you?
  • Do you need to shift or re-balance any focus?

MORE TIME TO THINK

The reason people get good ideas in the shower is because it’s the only time during the day when most people are away from screens long enough to think clearly.  The lesson is not to take more showers, but rather to make more time to think.

Quote by James Clear from his 3-2-1 Newsletter

REFLECTION:

  • Have you ever gotten a “good idea” in the shower?  Could it be it because of time away from all other distractions?
  • How much time do you take to think – away from screens?
  • Take a walk today without any electronics… take time to think and see what emerges – away from the screens and other distractions.
  • Note what you discover.

CRAWLING

You were born with wings.  Why prefer to crawl through life?

REFLECTION:

  • Are you flying or crawling through life?
  • How can you soar today… choosing wings over crawling?
