60 seconds

What would happen if we could wait?

Before judging our neighbor who is still up at 4am. Before shouting at our kids who are trying to figure out something complex. Before sharing the advice nobody has asked for. Before answering to the instant message of somebody who is dealing with their own challenges. Before going on a rant about something we have misread in a conversation. Before clicking the comment box to leave some vitriolic words for somebody who does not share our worldview. Before beating ourselves up for not achieving what we so desperately wanted. Before rage quitting the place we have invested so much into. Before following that shiny little object that is going to take away from our lives.

If only we could wait 60 seconds, what would happen instead?

No excuse

By participating in that head-to-head discussion on Twitter, I have changed minds and inspired hundreds of people.

Every time I like an Instagram post, I am closer to feeling fully accomplished.

A turning point in my life was that time I watched all of the YouTube videos by that influencer in one sit.

The constant flux of notifications I get on my mobile throughout the day exponentially improves the quality of my work.

By all means, use your free time however you prefer.

And make sure when it’s over, it is really over.

There’s no excuse nowadays to not go about finding and fulfilling your purpose. Yet, never before have so little people been committed to do just that.

Go make the change you are here to make.

What moves the change you seek to make?

Anger, frustration, revenge, self-affirmation, fear. It is human to feel all that. Yet, while they are great fire to start the fuse, it’s better to move past them as the explosion approaches, else they will spread.

Empathy, kindness, joy, selflessness, care. They are much slower to burn, more complicated to find and express. Yet, when they reach the core, that’s the type of enthusiasm that sticks and scales.

There will never be enough of that.

A walk

More and more, I find that taking a walk in the middle of the day is helping me to recharge, refocus, and gives me space to explore new ideas. Often those ideas are the ones I stick to later in the day, the ones that get me unstuck.

Give it a try.

Walking occupies us just enough to help us stop thinking about whatever it is we were working on, but not too much as to prevent mind-wandering. It’s the perfect gateway into the subconscious mind and for stimulating creative insight that can help us overcome mental gridlock.

Unconditional trust

FabrizioLeave a comment

When you treat people as if they are going to cheat or take advantage of you, one of two things is going to happen.

Either they will cheat and take advantage of you – if only because that’s what you will read in their behaviour, no matter what they actually do -, or they will stay clear of you and look for somebody who sees in them more positive potential.

Build a system based on unconditional trust, instead, and take specific and appropriately directed actions the few times trust will be put on the line. You’ll be surprised with how much time you and people around you will save, and how much more inspired and inspiring the whole environment will be.
