More interesting questions

FabrizioLeave a comment

We wonder what is acceptable, what is right, what makes a good wife or a good husband, what makes a good parent, a good friend, a good employee, a good colleague.

And while wondering that, we often take an outside perspective, as we put most of the emphasis on what others think.

But what is acceptable for us? What do we believe is right, wrong, good, fair, worthy of respect? Where do we draw our line? And what are we going to do to make it so others will accept that?

Those are way more interesting questions.

Patience and perseverance

It did not work.

Ok, but how long did you try? Was it ten minutes, two weeks, three months, one year?

People are not always immediately ready to respond to whatever it is you have on offer that will change their lives (for the better). Patience and perseverance are as important as ideation and execution.

Go big, go small

To go big, you have to go small.

To become a master, you have to narrow your focus.

To grow your company, you have to narrow your target market.

To make your job profile stand out, you have to narrow (and perfect) the things you tell about.

It is counterintuitive, and that’s why so many people get this wrong. But the only way to go big, is to go small.

On hold

Not everything that you like, that you want to do, that seems interesting, that you are committed to, comes easily. Sometimes the pursue of that thing means you get stuck in other aspects of your life, simply because you are left with no energy for them.

And so, it might be a good idea to put that thing on hold, to wait for a better time, to progress on other fronts. There’s nothing worst than achieving something when knowing that all the rest has been left behind.

Richer

It’s not a negative thing to question your strongest beliefs.

You might either get away with some new ones or with some stronger convictions.

Of course, it’s scary. Because for a moment, in the process, you might not know what to hold on to, you might feel lost, you might feel shaky.

On the other side, though, there’s a richer version of you.
