Wisdom On The Web
Most people confuse busyness of mind with wisdom. Overthinking arrives as a feeling of seriousness and importance. Turn overthinking into clear, insightful thinking, overthinking makes life feel stuck in rehearsal mode. Here’s how to name the loop, give worry a time and place, run small experiments and turn mental noise into insight. Simple rules, big clarity, less drama.
Life Power Tip
Do something different today. You cannot think outside the box when you are sitting in one! Do something that is not ‘business as usual’ for you. You will be amazed at the new ideas that will simply begin to flow.
Action
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
Challenge
Do something uncharacteristic today. Not something too ‘bad’ though!
Quote
Happy, vibrant, successful people think and behave in certain ways. So do miserable and unfulfilled people. In other words, there are patterns of success and patterns of failure. The good news is, success leaves clues. -Tony Robbins
Clearing
Consider purchasing under the cabinet organizers for your bathroom.
Question
How could you simplify your life today
Affirmation
I choose organized spaces in which to work.
Uplifting Extra
Think about times in your life when everything just clicked. Maybe you were so focused on a project that time flew by. Maybe you had a conversation that led to an unexpected breakthrough. That’s flow and it’s not random. It can be created on purpose and (ad) you don’t need to fight life into submission. The smarter move is to learn how to work with it. When you’re in flow, things line up naturally. The right opportunities show up, the right people appear and progress feels effortless instead of forced.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes…

Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
