Welcome back Viphilus*
My final post for our
fresh-start month is about looking into our mind and becoming aware of what we
see.
I have already written quite
a bit about this last year and I encourage you to take a look at (perhaps
again) my posts on March 23 and November 2 if you desire something more. Both
of those posts are actually more comprehensive than what I’m going to do here
today. Today I’m keeping it incredibly simple. All I’m suggesting is that you
ask yourself five (5) deeply personal questions … but spend as much time as
humanly possible on doing the research about yourself to find the answers. In
the end, the more you learn, the more transformative it will be for you.
The questions are alarmingly
innocuous and, well …. dis-alarming. But very wise people have literally recreated
themselves when they have used these questions as powerful tools. With each
question I have included a corollary question to deepen your sense of why the
question might be important to you.
In your fresh-start for
2016, try taking them seriously. Ready?
OK, here we go.
1. What would you do if you weren’t afraid? (is the
life you are living worth what you are giving up to have it?)
2. What/who is at your centre? (what is the reason why
you do what you do)?
3. What’s the best day that you have had at work in
the last 6-12 months and what made it so good (do you know how to repeat it)?
4. What is your best practice for recovering and
even building personal energy (and is it actually working for you?)
5. If your personal beliefs, principles and
convictions were suddenly declared by society to be illegal, would there be
enough evidence to convict you, based on your actions alone? (do your
principles and convictions serve as a personal gyroscope for your behaviour?)
None of those questions are
my invention. I am sharing them with you because they were some of the key
questions presented to me which helped spawn my rebirth as an engaged human being 10-12 years ago.
OK that’s it Viphilus … see
you next month as I begin looking at the core truths behind Stephen Covey’s 7
Habits.
I hope to see you back next
Monday.
Blessings,
Your friend, Omega Man
