Decade solstice?

Here’s an intriguing excerpt from a daily business email recapping the hottest news…

Insigniam, a consulting firm, founder Shideh Bina wrote this “response”:

More than any decade I can recall (in the six I have lived through), the next decade will be defined by how well we, as leaders, and as citizens, respond to challenges and threats to our foundational beliefs, structures and institutions. Will we respond with wisdom, courage, accountability and creativity to our climate, our political storms, our vast inequities, our soon-to-be obsolete skills base and our deeply engrained biases about each other and about how things “ought to be”? If we respond well we can turn these threats into glorious, transformative opportunities. If not, we will preside over tragedy. The transformation required to prevail also requires a transformation of ourselves as leaders and how we think and act. The decade has not been written, the pen is our hands.

Shideh Bina

Personal vibrancy and personal transformation begins when we convince ourselves that balance is not a myth.

Is that the finish line?

Early June in Glacier National Park. All of us must pass the bear. Finish line? Starting line? Who cares? Right?

How’s your 2019 finish line looking?

Can you see it?

Are you feeling invigorated to reach the end of a decade?

Are you feeling overwhelmed as 2020 approaches?

i’m a bit of both.

Invigoration is a personal favorite. Seriously, how can it not be at the top of everyone’s list?

Overwhelm is obviously different and should always be questioned. Why feel overwhelmed? Are there patterns? Are causes identified? Isn’t that a signal that something is out of balance?

Do you have ammunition to fight back?

Yes.

The best ammunition is called invigoration.

Figuring out what and why, and then how to manage it is invigorating.

Weak overwhelmingly prevails

If that bookshelf could talk.

Truth or dare?

Truth, please.

Ask any seasoned Disney business consultant and speaker, “What’s the most universal thing you witness across all industries?”

An organization’s spirit to change is strong, yet the organization’s will to change is weak.

Told you that to tell you this: same thing happens to individuals, people like you and me. We desperately would love to develop better habits, but we struggle with the time, money, and effort required.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

You will never

Make being out of your comfort zone your comfort zone.

You will never reach your potential, and discover your purpose, by staying in your comfort zone.

Commitment device

How do you keep your motivational fire going? How do you keep calm in the heat of a tempting moment? Photo: Yesterday, prepping for last night’s temperature dip into the low 60’s.

A commitment device allows your cool-headed decisions to not get destroyed by the temptation of your hot-headed desire for pleasure or pain avoidance.

Couple commitment devices i use:

  1. Being an example not a warning
  2. Consistently using compelling deadlines
  3. The long way is the shortcut
  4. Loving risk more than comfort
