Fake it till you make it – instead, try this…

How about this instead, “Live as if…”  Live as if it’s already occurring in your life.  Live as if, you have already achieved it.  Live as if…(you fill in the blank!).
This phrase, as opposed with “Fake it til you make it” allows you and I to be real, authentic and live life with intergrity and [...]

Enhance your PMO – positive mental outlook!

From the great cop shows – everyone’s got an MO.  And, everyone’s got a PMO.  Positive Mental Outlook.  If you’re thinking this is another way to say, “is it ½ full or ½ empty” well, it’s that – AND more!  There has been a lot written about positive mental attitude and how it contributes to [...]

Eat Something Spicy!

Pass the jalapeno peppers.  Prefer something milder, go for a green pepper.  Or just add a pinch of regular pepper.  But try something a little spicy today.  Why? Because it’s going to make you sweat a bit.  Maybe you don’t have that reaction when you put a little too much spice on something. It’s the [...]

Play today.

Last post was about improv and innovation to improve the quality of life and take a couple steps closer to the Point of Passion. The POP is a state where Improv, Innovation and the concept of Play coincide and bounce together to create the type of life you – and I – desire.  A life [...]

Improv 2 Improve

I’ve been studying a great deal about Innovation as of late.  One of the core concepts I have taken from my research is that innovation requires implementation.  Or it’s just another idea floating around.  We have too many ideas just floating about – many generated by useless and unproductive meetings.  However, one of the concepts [...]

Take the time to Ponder.

Cheat (some time for yourself!)

Not too many books like this give you permission to cheat.  But cheating – cheating time for yourself is important to experience if you are interesting in moving closer to the Point of Passion. I would suggest that you are already cheating some time by taking the time to read – and act upon – [...]

Acknowledge. Admit. Admire.

According to Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind,  the culture of today is shifting from a very analytical (or L-directed) type of thinking towards a thinking steeped in relationship and synthesis (or R-directed).  To continues towards the Point of Passion, it’s important to shift your thinking to be more R-directed – or one [...]

Prepare Your Plan.

With any great vacation, one doesn’t just hop in the car and start driving – at least not once you’ve finished college, that’s called road-trip.  It wouldn’t make sense, not if your goal was to have a great vacation.  You don’t know where you’d be headed.  And for success to occur you have to start [...]
