It's Not too Late to Make 2011, Your Best Year Yet!


It's not too late to make 2011 your Best Year Yet. 

It's possible because perception is the key to transformation. Good, better, best... it's all a matter of perception. Change the way you see something, and you change everything.

So how do you change the way you see 2011? Ask this simple question, it is called Appreciative Inquiry.

If 2011 was my BEST YEAR because it was here to teach me everything I needed to know to make 2012 even better, what did I learn?

What are the questions you are asking yourself? Why me? Why not me? Where can you ask the opposite, turned around question to reclaim your connection, so reconnect to reclaim your power?

Start asking powerful and empowering questions to receive powerful and empowering answers!

It's a popular strategy in coaching, and it works. Nietzsche said "Even a thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform you". So write down 10 questions you ask yourself daily and turn these around.

Hero's Journey & TAO of Experience

Updating my other blogs, the Hero's Journey and TAO of Experience.

Interesting read on how to use creative perspective, strategies and practices to create your experiences. Isn't this why we are all here, in a search for meaning and the eternal validation of our "creative essence".

Do not assume that all you have experienced is all there is to experience. We usually remember this therefore we have the courage to continue on our journeys. There are times we need to remind ourselves though.
