The shorter list

20160331 The shorter list

How long is your “to do” list?

There can be so much to do.

Across many areas of life.

At work.

At home.

For family.

For colleagues.

Personally.

The list can be overwhelming.

What about creating a “not to do” list?

It’s likely to be shorter.

Discussion and outcomes

20160310 Discussion and outcomes

The discussion is often more important than the outcome.

Differing views are aired.

Pros and cons are weighed.

There are aha moments.

Knowledge is shared.

The crux of the matter is revealed.

Things get tweaked.

Awareness is raised.

Concepts are grasped.

People are understood.

The outcome, or decision, or agreement is better for the discussion.

Sure, no discussion gets an outcome too.

Have you discussed that outcome?

Will you say “yes”?

20160303 Will you say yes

It comes out of the blue.

A life changing opportunity.

You have limited time to decide.

It will disappear just as suddenly.

Will you be ready?

Will you have time?

Will people understand?

Will it be worth it?

The thing about a life changing opportunity is…

…you need to say “yes” for the life changing to begin.

Will you say “yes”?
