“I commit to learning and growing from every interaction I have today.”
-Gay Hendricks
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how true is the statement presented in the quote above for you? Think about that for a moment...
Thinking and reflecting on things that need to change for you personally, professionally, as well as in the larger scheme of things, any change that needs to happen starts with you.
Reading Gay Hendricks this morning offered this powerful perspective: from the book, A year of Living Consciously: 365 Daily Inspirations for Creating a Life of Passion and Purpose..
It takes genuine physical energy to avoid knowing things that you need to learn.
Why do we refuse to get the lesson until it’s administered by a sledgehammer then cry, “Why me?”
There is only one way out of this dilemma:
Make an open hearted and open-minded commitment to learning what you most need to learn.
Today’s Affirmation:
I commit to learning and growing from every interaction I have today.
Today’s Challenge: Honor your commitment to learning what you most need to learn.
Approach today with an open heart and open mind.
As you interact with others ask yourself this question was graffiti discovered in Harvard Business School lounge:
What are you pretending not to know?
Pause, slow down, listen and learn.
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
