Quote I am considering this week
“There is a wonderful, almost mystical, law of nature that says three of the things we want most—happiness, freedom, and peace of mind—are always attained when we give them to others. Give it away to get it back.” John Wooden
Concept I am working with at the moment
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.” Steve Jobs
We know that saying no to things we don’t want to do is crucial for our sanity, inner peace and our overall well-being. But consider also that when we say yes to something there is a ripple effect
As soon as we say yes and make a commitment it becomes part of our energetic field and therefore part of our identity, even if only transiently. Once we have welcomed something into our field, we either must expand to contain it or let go of something else.
When we say yes an expectation is formed, a commitment is made, and your future self has an obligation now made by your present self
Consider this through the lens of transformation…how can we align our yeses and our no’s to what our FUTURE self would do?
If we want to change our lives, continue to grow and evolve, then the decisions we make TODAY need to reflect the person we would like to grow into. It requires visualisation, imagination and thoughtfulness. It also requires courage and bravery…and what a beautiful way to live, yes?
and One More Thing
