This gives away all your power

“As soon as” syndrome happens when you make your next move – or worse, your happiness – contingent on something else happening.

There is rarely a perfect time to do anything worthwhile.

You have the power to determine what you do right now.  Don’t give it away to people or circumstances you don’t control.  You are the CEO of you.  Be a good one.

Intentions and behavior

Most of us tend to judge others by their actions, but judge ourselves based on our intentions.

One without the other is impure.  Let’s look for opportunities to let other peoples’ actions slide, and occasionally seek out (or even assume) that they have good intentions.  After all, we’re doing that with ourselves.

Breaking the ice

Every culture has unwritten rituals, many of which apply to meeting people for the first time.  Your culture influences what you see as “normal”.

It’s possible to choose perspectives that serve us even better than the ones we were given at birth.  When we first meet people it’s common to feel the need to “break the ice”, the metaphorical wall that separates us.

What if we chose to act as if there were no ice in the first place?
