Yup, that is correct, Kevin! Remembering your mantras and limiting beliefs is a great way to focus on what's important.

Re: The 5 Lies I Stopped Telling Myself

How do you implement sustainable mindset shifts? It seems to be easy to become aware of beliefs that are holding us back, but in my experience it seems easy to fall back into them without a proper contextual change. A mentor used to tell me: if you want to change behavior, change the context first, and the behavior will follow. Don't rely only on willpower.

Seems to me that beliefs are mental behaviors, and are hard to change without the proper contextual support. What do you think?

Great stuff, found this blog today, keep it up.

Rebecca, have you read "Who Owns The Future?" I finished it three days ago and it's a must read regarding this topic.

I always say: it's not about what you do, but why you do it. The why takes you all over the world, across all industries, across all cultures. The what is transitionary. What you stand for says more about who you are than what shapes your work takes. Good reminder, Amber.

Re: Why Clarity Makes College The Default (For Now)

Agreed, but that remains an emotional issue. An issue of control, as in, lowering risk and uncertainty by the parents. That's another advantage of universities: the emotional framework that they offer reaches not only the students but their loved ones as well.

Be kind with the aesthetics, redesign coming in the next 1-2 weeks ;)

Scott, great post. Here's some stuff on habit implementation that I suggest you check out:

The Personal MBA, by Josh Kaufman - His sections on People and Systems are all about, in the end, creating the right context for your goals.

Thinking in Systems, Donella Meadows - Great to really start seeing systems everywhere, and eventually understanding that habit implementation is all about systems.

The Power of Full Engagement, b Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz - Great for structuring your day according to your energy cycles.

My Writing Hack (or what I like to call now, "The Golden Trifecta") - http://carlosmiceli.com/wri... - To the apps mentioned there, now I'm adding Fireplace and Rain sounds, plus classical music radio. Works beautifully!

Love the blog. Let me know if you need some other stuff, because I'm sure I'm forgetting some links or books.

Re: No Existe La Panacea En La Educación

Comparto todas tus observaciones, Ernesto. Son varios de los pilares que queremos derribar con Exosphere, porque creemos que están pensados desde paradigmas que ya no sirven. Es interesante como no nos cuestionamos las cosas hasta que empiezan a fallarnos, y si nos guiamos por la cantidad de cuestionamiento que hay hacia la educación actualmente, yo diría que la educación nos está fallando gravemente.

Gracias por participar de la charla!
Abrazo,
Carlos

En la página explica el proceso. Por cierto, los comentarios son tomados más en serio cuando no son anónimos. Saludos.

Writing more would be the clear winner. I wrote the details of the system here: http://carlosmiceli.com/wri...

Re: A Brief Retrospective on Growing Up

Man, oh, man. I can't be reading this post at a more timely moment. Looks like we're connected in more ways than one, Rebecca...

Here's my take: leadership (and all responsible ambition and entrepreneurial activities are acts of leadership) is lonely. Now, that doesn't mean you have to die alone and that you can't have a partner or a consistent relationship with a family member. But it means that you MAY, if that's what's on your path. That's when you choose to a) settle or b) keep going the lonely way of command and leadership.

Settling is not bad, there are moments for settling, but that will probably drive you away from the impact that you could have in the world (which is fine). I think it was Napoleon, or Churchill, who said that he never had a moment for himself. What people fail to grasp, is that everyone can be in command and make their ambition happen. It's as simple as deciding it, but it's the loneliness that comes with it what drives them away.

How do you get over the feeling? You get your purpose straight again. Hey, for some people their purpose is to support others, and that's as important as being the guy in command. Follow your purpose (which most people never figure out, by the way), and the feeling will go away. Only accept that loneliness may its price.

Re: Fundamental and Subordinate Goals

Carlos Miceli — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:56:51 -0000

I think you have to! Hard to have a loving relationship without ever getting laid... The point, I think, is to know that they are subordinate to the fundamental goal.

I do, but I think it's easier to do with the right context.

I'm hoping to interview Sir Ken Robinson at some point, so we'll see!

Thanks a lot, I know where you're coming from, and I would never advise anyone to do exactly what I did.

Education activism would be working to improve education. My experience in Argentina and Australia was enough to see that something should be done.

Thank you for the nice comment, Matilda. And sorry to say this, but your name reminds me of Waltzing Matilda, a song I freakin' love!

Right now, I'm working a series of projects, everything from my laptop. At the time, I financed most of the trip to Australia with my savings from 2 years working in Buenos Aires where I had a pretty good paycheck. I've been lucky :)

Re: Top 10 lessons from my year abroad in Australia

Carlos Miceli — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:47:58 -0000

Thank you, Tom. I'm sure you'll love Buenos Aires, the spirit of Argentinians and Australians is quite similar ;)
