Re: Maybe We’ll Never Arrive

Jeanie, first of all, you had me at the title. The thought of "not arriving" is an internal battle every success driven individual cannot fathom to embrace. When you're destination driven, not arriving equals failure. Learning to enjoy the journey is a process that challenges me to redefine my thoughts about success.

When I begin to look at success as an outcome to an internal happiness, everything I touch and do at that moment is a success. In your words learning to be "at peace as a bud and flower" is OK. As long as I'm moving. growing and learning.

Thanks for the time you spent to share your story.

Re: Letting Go of Your Past to Create a New Future

David Finch — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:23:01 -0000

The hardest thing to do is let go of your past. Even if we have painful moments, our identity is so wrapped up in our past... It's all we know... It's who we think we are. Letting go and moving on has a fear factor because of the unknown. However, hearing the success stories of others has a way of helping letting go and moving forward.

Thanks for sharing your story!

One of the words that I wanted to be foundational in how I shape 2012 was intentional. This plays huge when it comes to morning routines. It's so easy to get caught up in consumption mode that investing in yourself finds its way on the back burner.

Since I've decided to become more intentional about my routines, I've produced more in 2012 then all of last year.

Thanks for the constant reminder!

Re: How To Break Free From Being Stuck

James there so many good things in this post that I don't want to write a post in my response. However, being stuck can seem like the end of the world. I've learned to take small steps. It's amazing how things can change if you're willing to move.

Good stuff... Thanks for taking the time and energy to write the post.

Re: A Small Act of Kindness Can Make a Big Difference

If we listen, compassion tugs happen more frequently then we realize. Many times we shrug them off because we don't want to be bothered. However, if we develop a habit of listening to these simple whispers, it's a win-win experience for everyone involved.

Thanks for reminding me to open my eyes, my ears and my heart.

Re: Tiny Wisdom: It’s Good Enough

David Finch — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:10:04 -0000

The hardest obstacle for anyone that struggles with perfectionism is, "it's good enough." Some times trying to be perfect is just an excuse to not do anything. When you add "it's good enough" into the equation I now have to act.

When I committed to really acting upon my goals and accepted that it's OK to be good enough, it was amazing how liberating it becomes. It was also rewarding to see how much I could really get done.

Great post!!

Re: Being Decisive Matters

David Finch — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:55:57 -0000

Dave, I think it's normal for people to be afraid to pull the trigger. However, it's very rewarding when you put action to your plan. It has a way of putting fear in its place as well.

Erica, thanks for the comment. Like yourself, I've wrestled with it both personally and professionally. The good news is that if you keep chipping away at it you will get better.

Re: Build Your System to Capture Ideas

David Finch — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:32:32 -0000

Wendy, I think you bring up a great point... Ideas seem to have a mind of their own. I notice that by the time I execute the idea it has a slight resemblance of its orignal form.

In addition to Powerpoint, if you're using an iPad give Ghostwriter (http://itunes.apple.com/us/... a shot. I've been giving it a test drive over the past few weeks and it could make its way into my daily system.
