December:
- From the book: The War of Art — “Resistance is the destructive force inside Human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough, long term course of action that might do for us or others something that’s actually good. You think resistance isn’t real, it will burry you. Hitler wanted to be an artist, at 18 he took his inheritance and moved to Vienna to live and study. He entered the academy of fine arts and later the school of architecture. Have you seen any of his painting? Neither have I. It was easier for Hitler to start World War II than stare at a piece of canvas.”
- From the book: The One Thing — “Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day. Achievers do sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do sooner. The difference isn’t in intent, but in the right of way. Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority.”
- From the book: High Performance Habits — “You’ll always feel out of balance if you are doing work that you don’t find engaging and meaningful.”
- What geniuses will you surround yourself with next year and how will you change the world around you?
It’s your turn now to reflect and identify your profound learning and insights this year. Share it and encourage your clients to do the same.
