“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Zig Ziglar

In this episode I discuss the results of my 3 Month Challenge 2 Transformation. This is really a summary of what worked and what didn’t with lessons to continue the progress. Cont.  (more…)

A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas By Warren Berger

A freaking inspiring read. As the tittle suggest this book has the power of inquiry to spark breakthrough ideas. I read it a halfway through and had ideas pouring out of my head. Too many in fact that I had to rest from the book. Questions are powerful and they have the power not only to generate great or greater business ideas and innovation but also the power to awaken your to life.

The Hidden Why has been created to inspire people to ask those bigger quesitons. What is your why? What is your purpose? This is the question that got the ball rolling for me to start living the life that I desire, not the life that I thought I had to live. Warren has dedicated an entire chapter to asking questions about life. Thoughts that will inspire you to start challenging your beliefs on how life is meant to be lived.

“Not being tense but ready.
Not thinking but not dreaming.
Not being set but flexible.
Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement.
It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.”  Bruce Lee

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” George A. Moore

I really love this quote. As I reflect on it I wonder about my needs. Too often do we find ourselves searching externally for greater meaning yet perhaps everything we need is already within us. If only we could create more awareness around this perhaps then could we start living more freely.

This episode is all about needs. What are your needs? What are your true needs? And how do your needs direct the journey of your life? How do they impact your behaviours and actions? If all our needs where meet would we be needless? What would you goal in life be if this were the case. (more…)
