Mindful Decision-Making

I want to thank Gretchen Rubin for her Happiness Project Tip. She shares that 80% of people aren't passionate about their work. She states that, "You have to know what makes you happy and go after it." This is called mindful decision making.

These last several weeks have been a very intentional time of thinking through how I want to work and imagining myself in those situations. Here are a few of the images I see:

* I see myself sitting across the table in 1:1 in conversations. I am listening. I am engaged. I am thrilled for that human being.

* I see myself coaching a person across the table. The person is listening, responding and is engaged.

* I see myself in a room and I am up front. My heart is racing. I am thrilled to teach and the people are engaged.

* I see my heart getting larger. Kinda like the Grinch when he hears music down in "Whoville"

* I am caused.

* I see needs being met. Some of these are tangible and some of them intangible.

What do you see when you imagine your caused life?

50 Meetings 90 Days 2 Ice Creams

During the next 90 days I will be completing jouranlistic type interviews with 50 people with the intent of learning about their personal cause. I hope to find out what gets them up in the morning and why they do what they do. Yesterday, the person I interviewed spoke of the incredible impact of her school and that is what drew her to raising money for the school. Each day she faces the poossiblility of being rejected and the possibility of gathering funds to move the school from "survival to sustainable"

My observation this week has centered around the fact that someone's life experience draws them into their life of cause. Kudos to this person for allowing herself to be impacted and now wanting to provide others with the chance to be deeply impacted.

Ironically, I went to this high school too and I thank God for it.

Oh and by the way, I had two ice creams today. I felt like I wanted to reward myself and so I did it twice. What a great day? I will pay for it tomorrow.
