Flights of Fantasy
I grew up reading fantasy epic books - love them!
In these stories the hero leaves no man or woman behind, saves damsels in distress and is basically loved for their personal sacrifice...
Recently I have learned, when you have a mission:
- You can't take everyone with you...trying to will only cause you and them heartache. Sometimes the mission must go on and people who were with you at the start may not finish the journey with you.
- People don't need saving by you (or me) and to be a rescuer is actually quite 'icky'.
- You don't have to go through personal hurt to achieve amazing things. Take care of you and yours and do good for people and the planet. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
If you believe you are a Thought Leader, then join our social network at Thought Leaders Central. Charlie 'tremendous' Jones said, the key difference between who you are today and who you will be tomorrow are the books you read and the people you meet. If Charlie is right, and I think he is, you need to keep learning and meet the right people. I have set up the Thought Leaders Network to provide both of these elements. The mentors on Thought Leaders Central and Thought Leaders Studio provide inspiration and advice for great thinkers.
I am starting an additional newsletter in 2010 to supplement my personal one (what you are reading right now). The plan is to produce it monthly as a downloadable newspaper/magazine format. I will be asking my mates (the Thought Leaders Mentors) to contribute articles that inspire thinking and facilitate conversations that rock the planet. It is an opt in newsletter, so subscribe here if you would like to receive a copy each month.
Thanks for a great year.
